Online retailers

Post by E Man »

I know there is a thread that parellels this, but NewEgg seems to be the only name really out there.

Are there any other places that have good, maybe some of the best, prices? (Shipping included) I've seen cheap places that charge outrageous shipping, and vise versa. I'm just looking for where I can get the "best bang for my buck" for lack of better phrasing.

Any suggestions are much appriciated.

Thanks.

okay, that was dumb. really though, tigerdirect really is THAT bad.

I've stopped looking for parts at anywhere except for newegg. unless I come across a good deal via a forum 'good deals' area.

try pagecomputers.com - you need to look elsewhere too, though. Page is VERY cheap for some things and VERY expensive for others. Haven't been able to figure that one out yet.

I found a sonicwall soho3 for under $400US - lists in the $500+ range elsewhere. My PDA (zaurus) was $75 more than at best buy - go figya
anything is possible - nothing is free

I used to use Multiwave (http://www.mwave.com) for ll my orders, but I recentely switch to NewEgg due to slighty lower costs and occansional free shipping.

They both rock though, and their prices are consistantly the lowest around.

I did get a DOA Abit KT7A once from mwave, and I had to ship the old one back first, which was kinda lame. Eveything I've got from NewEgg has been fine so far :D

For best price on hardware, I start with

http://www.pricewatch.com/

I've recently bought a CPU and mobo, and then some RAM from these folks, and they shipped fast and didn't gouge me on shipping. If your O.K. with OEM products, you should check pricewatch for the item from them instead of going directly to their website.

If you want to check feedback on online vendors, here's a good place to look:

Asus P5Q-E LGA 775 / Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale / Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro / NVIDIA GTX650 Ti Boost / Corsair Dominator 8GB DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) / Corsair CMPSU-650TX / Asus 20X DRW-2014L1T / Klipsch 4.1 / Creative Sound Blaster Z / Crucial MX100 CT512MX100SSD1 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive / Too many hard drives to mention.....
