Default Where to buy case mods

I'm going to be making my own case in the summer, or maybe the may half term week, out of blac anodized aluminum or black acrylic (haven't decided yet). Anybody know of any good places in the UK to buy modding materials from, not found many places that sell those aircraft style switches either, I quite like those, would make a nice on/off switch.

Duke already said Kustom PC's, they sell a whole bunch of swithces and PC modding stuff.

http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/...tches_etc.html

Could always try Maplins as well for switches, wires etc!

EDIT: This place is the daddy for acrylic
