cumminbk Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Thats the question where do you get your pc components when you build a pc? the Web, store, friends, old computers...Personally i have only shopped from Newegg and i will buy certain peices from the store if i notice that are on some great deal.

ripken204 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 if you are in the US and dont order from newegg, then you should seriously see a doctor newegg tends to suck when it comes to cooling, such as fans, water cooling, fan controllers, fan wires, etc. so i do have to use some other stores.

LeveL Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Anywhere except PC World, or similar places; with staff there who knownothing about computers and a prey on families buying full systems justso they can get 0.5% commission. If you go in there for a printer cableor something, forget it, the staff WON'T help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJM Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Newegg generally but I recently came across Silicon Valley Compucycle while I was looking for some AS-5 ( they have free shipping on AS-5) and they have some good deals on cooling. http://www.svc.com/I've had some bad experiences with Tiger Direct. Forget the mail in rebates. Edited April 13, 2007 by RJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phkninja Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Dabs is where i go. I used to buy from Komplett but had problems with deliveries etc that turned me off purchasing from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmX.Memnoch Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I purchase my parts mostly from NewEgg but on occassion I'll purchase from ZipZoomFly, ChiefValue, or TigerDirect. For instance, TigerDirect carries the Intel PRO/1000 PT PCIe x1 NIC that I've been using lately while NewEgg doesn't yet. And very ocassionally from Directron (rarely but every now and again they have some decent deals).Two sites that have good cooling stuff, but can be kinda pricey, are FrozenCPU.com and Plycon.com.

spacesurfer Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Newegg - bought processor, memory, dvd-rw, sd card... so far. i have also used zipzoomfly.com where shipping is free on almost all items and prices are usually dollar less than newegg.i check pricegrabber.com to see if it's cheaper anywhere else but usually newegg comes out on top.

Forget the mail in rebates.totally agree with RJM here. TigerDirect sucks, especially when screwing people out of money. ive had some friends really screwed. and ive used svc alot for cooling stuff. i have no water cooling right now so i havnt had to buy any, but maybe my next comp will have water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigeratiPrime Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I check deal sites, for example pricewatch and AnandTech's RTPE, but I usually shop from NewEgg, ZipZoomFly, eWiz, CheifValue, MonarchPC, Mwave, and maybe some where else for cables.

haslem46 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I have found this site, (http://www.smartratings.com/computers/), and it has a list of all the merchants who sell the components of a PC. Aside from that, it has also a compilation of expert and user reviews for each of the item on the list. I think it's worth a try to check it out and see what you can find.

rendrag Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 i'm surprised no one's mentioned zipzoomfly.com. I typically buy from newegg myself, but have made a couple purchases from zipzoomfly, and have had good results.when it comes to water and high-performance cooling, I usually shop at http://www.frozencpu.com/. They're NY-based, which is only a couple hundred miles from me, so that helps for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
