Favorite Retailer?

Postby Scottler » Thu Mar 24, 2005 10:06 am

Just curious where you guys get your parts from.  I've looked at a few sites, and I've got my favorites.  I've also seen several (who shall remain nameless) that have the reputation of being a waste of bandwidth. lol

Where do you guys shop online?
Great edit, Bob.


Google it.

For Brick and Mortar, I usually go to Microcenter.  Their prices are usually lowest around.  For on-line, it's eBay...  ;)

Newegg is the BEST US site. I order from them all of the time. They have very good prices(might be a bit higher than other retailers) but they have a GREAT selection, great service and shipping. I place my order on new egg at 12AM its on the FedEx truck same day no questions asked. They care for their customers and will fix any mistake made by them at their expense, like when I ordered 512 Megs of Corsair turns out their 512 Meg was out of stock so they sent me 1 gig. I wrote a testimonial and they sent me out a newegg hat ;) Deskclock, wallet, and a cool pen as a thanks. There is a joke that says "You are a hardcore overclocker if you threaten to switch retailers and Newegg sends you a "complimentary" rolex.

For the obscure stuff then its www.overclockers.co.uk - Otherwise I will defect to whoever will get it to me cheapest, i.e. Amazon, PC World or whatever!
