Question on Buying Computer Bits
Hi all.

I am not a computer novice, and I consider myself somewhat above average for knowing about them (years ago I used to build them at work, replace drives and modems, etc...)

Anyway, I'm having a friend (who does this as a side job) build us a new computer, but I'm getting the pieces myself, and getting them one or two pieces at a time. Where would you say the best place online is to get stuff? By best, I mean a reliable web site as well as low(est) prices.

I've already got two 400 gig hard drives for $99 each, but that's about it so far.

Thanks!

Jim
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection!

Thirded on Newegg. Zipzoomfly, I have had some issues with...not as bad as at other places.

90%+ of my computer money goes to newegg.

I'll fourth newegg. I've ordered from there a lot and never had any problems. Shipping is generally pretty fast and their prices are some of the best you will find.

A good place to compare prices is http://www.pricewatch.com/

I'll echo the chorus of newegg. A computer forum I used to haunt (pre-heroscape) had a ton of members who sang their praises.
