In the US, Makerbot is the most trusted source (rarely quality issues), but you have to modify the boards a good bit.
Techzone requires no modification, but they have ad quality issues in the past
There are 2 other sources of electroncis, one is on Ebay, but don't know anything about them, and the other is out of europe. Again can't rememeber.
