Best Online Computer Parts Stores (your favorites)

[mAXfORCE]

Hello all. I often purchase PC related parts & equipment. Over the last several years I have almost exclusively utilized reputable online stores due to the reasonable costs and obvious convenience. My last PC build, a couple years back, was 90% or more from online stores.

I am always looking for new, good online PC related retailers. Please list the stores which YOU can personally recommend (reputable, prompt, reasonable prices, informative, good selection, good communication, varied payment options, etc).

As of late I have used:

NewEgg (my #1)
ZipZoomFly (formally GoogleGear)
Ebay (carefully)

All input appreciated.

depending on what you need, Xoxide.com - Custom ATX Computer Cases, PC Mods, Computer Case mods, and Modded PC Cases has a sweet selection. id have to give point to newegg also, ill be ordering some new parts from there for christmas.

[DropBearCharlie]

theres other online computer stores besides newegg? news to me!

[Jihad]

tiger direct... cheaper than newegg....but the shipping either takes longer or the price is equal to get newegg's 3-day shipping

I purchased my new PC from newegg and it cost me $1,110 when i did research for other website and stores the price was almost doubled but then newegg seems to change their prices pretty regularly.

Thanks for the replies.

Bishop, thank for the info. I will check Xoxide.com out. I'm looking for a new black case for myself for Christmas (I love Antec). BTW, are you the same Bishop I've seen on ZombieMod (2 or 3)? Just wonderin'.

DropBearCharlie, I'm with ya on NewEgg.......they DO 'rock'.

Jihad, I just had a good friend tell me about 'Tiger Direct' as well. I'll have to check it out.

DoNotEnter, what kinda setup did you get?......gaming I imagine. Never really bought a pre-built for gaming, but $1100 for a good setup is not a bad deal at all. How's it working out for you so far?

Always ZipZoomFly, free shipping, and it gets there always 2 days from when I order it.

Titan, thanks for the response. I have had real good luck with ZipZoomFly as well. Like NewEgg, they've been around a while, have decent prices and ship very quickly.

newegg has too high pricesnow, tigerdirect really gets you with shipping.

Clubit.com and Frys.com are where it is at

I picked up 2gb of ocz platinum revision 2 ram for like 20$ AR at clubit, they have amazing service and prices.

yep, thats me.

[mAXfORCE]

Brendan, thanks for the leads. That's what I'm looking for. Good retailers I've never seen b4. I'm already 'eye ballin' a new set of Logitech speakers on Clubit.com. Seems like a good deal.

bishop, thought it might be you. Zombiemod 3 (Lila 24/7) gets so crazy it's hard to remember a lot of the players. I look forward to playing with you again soon. :s-telefrag:

Hope you get in a better mood soon bishop.

I'm sure 5 years from now you'll look back and say why in the hell did I ever let THAT get me in a bad mood. What a waste of my time and energy. :Banane35:

UNLESS......it is something truly serious. If so then I wish you the best.

Directcanada.com, BC to QC 9$ fast air shipping and I bought a video card from

there, from almost the 1/2 of Staples.

[AwptimusPrime]

I also buy my parts from Frys and ChiefValue.

[XTR3M3]

I am still an old dog I guess...New Egg for me. Well....it might have something to do with that I have a preferred account with them and don't have to pay until later. Their shipping is fast and very reasonable too....RMA is also very easy.

[mAXfORCE]

Sounds like a nice setup DoNotEnter. Very nice price as well if it included the monitor which you listed too.
BTW, how do you like the Razer keyboard/mouse setup?

XTR3M3, I'd have to agree with you on NewEgg. They've never let me down.

Thanks for the input as well AwptimusPrime and RAZR.

[DoNotEnter]

The keyboard and mouse setup is incredible the mouse is really sensitive so every move is accounted for. I recommend the mouse more then the keyboard but, its nice to have it

Where I shop depends on what I'm looking for. When it comes to standard components I usually go with NewEgg or ZipZoomFly. If I'm looking for bundled deals, such as CPU/Motherboard combos, I usually start at Tiger Direct. When it comes to more specialized stuff like case mod supplies and system cooling, my favorites are xOxide and FrozenCPU.
