C. Navarro,

Laying hands on an etext of NT manuscripts may be a bit of a chore.
However, printed texts are available. For example:

The Complete Text of the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts
  Edited by Philip W. Comfort & David P. Barrett

  CBD Price: 24.95

I think this book only contains the papyri. So if you want to see the
Uncials you will have to go to other sources. There was a paper back
edition of Codex Bezae edited by Scrivener (sp?) running around a while
ago, may still be in print.

Also, you could always rely on the apparatus in NA27 which is what most
people do.
