    So newegg.com has been my go to webstie to shop for computer parts, but after very bad customer service on one thing that I don't wanna get into, I will no longer be shopping there. I was wondering what websties you guys use to purchase stuff, I normally use newegg and amazon but amazon is a bit pricier and wanted to know if there's a great hardware site I'm missing out there.

    I usually check here when I want to reconfirm that I don't have any money to spend.

    @chililili: It was on Newegg this morning, but got sold out in minutes. At least it's a positive sign. If we're lucky we might see price drops on the 5850 as well in order to price-match the 460. One other retailer you can include is Amazon; they don't carry a large stock of goods but their prices are usually the same or better than anywhere else's.

    Anyone have an opinion on Amazon? I heard they have free shipping on their stuff.

    I find NCIX has pretty good prices, if I remember right they'll match your price if you find something cheaper at another store. As far as service goes, eugh (But then again that could just be my terrible experiences with Canada Post).
     
    So yeah, if you're Canadian and/or near BC, give it a look.

    I find this topic kind of amusing, seeing as I was a dedicated Tiger Direct customer until I had a customer service dispute with them and went to Newegg.

    Does your local Microcenter have like a billion people and two registers open no matter what time of the day it is? 
     
    Besides the paid on commission sales men (which are easily avoidable) that place is like the mecca of PC hardware.

    @wolf_blitzer85:  No, they're not too bad. I've waited in longer lines much more frequently at Best Buy.

    I don't know where you live, but for Canada you'll only need CanadaComputers and Ncix.
