and http://www.seeedstudio.com/ , or http://www.pololu.com/ , or http://www.sparkfun.com , or http://www.adafruit.com/ or theres also http://www.findchips.com/

http://mouser.com and http://digikey.com and http://www.newark.com/ (Element14, formerlly Newark and Farnell) are all distributors, so usually have crappy one-off prices and higher freight... but much better for anything you want more than one of
