I normally get my parts from Newegg. Incredibly fast shipping and decent prices. However lately they have been slacking big time on getting newer parts on their site. For instance: Asus Blitz Formula mobo. This part isn't even that new at this time but Newegg still doesn't have it listed on their site. ZipZoomFly has been out of that part for as long as I can remember... Point is, other then these big resellers, anyone have a good, trustworthy site they buy parts from?

newegg is the best imo, i suppose you could try cdw, but the pricing may be an issue.

I've ordered a ton of PC parts and almost everything has been from newegg.com. I used tigerdirect a couple years ago but then I discovered newegg

I always check between newegg, tiger direct, and pricewatch. Between the 3 you'll always get a good deal on your parts. Most often I end up using new egg. Some times I use price watch. I might have ended up using tiger direct once or twice. They'll have a good sale on monitors once in a blue moon.

New egg is probably the consistantly the best however it's never a good idea to not shop around.

What I realized about tigerdirect (in my case) is usually when I found a better deal over newegg.com, I would get charged tax since the company (at least some of it) is located in Florida, plus the shipping was more expensive. So even if the product was slightly more expensive at newegg not having to pay tax and the cheaper shipping ended up giving them the edge more often than not.

As I stated my problem with Newegg is that they don't have TOP of the line parts. The good shit I want isn't on their site... Otherwise I always buy from Newegg.

Anyone seen a 24" LCD Monitor that is 2ms response time? Looking for one but the only one I can find is a brand I don't know and the reviews had dead pixel comments.

2ms is really nice, looks very smooth at 75 hz.

Yeah. Most definitely.

I'm building a new system with x2 EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTX KO ACS3 768MB GDDR3 cards on SLI. Which is COMPLETELY over kill and completely pointless on a 19" monitor. So along with my already $1,200 investment for those cards I need to buy a $600 24" monitor that can do 1920 x 1200 resolution just so I use some of that horsepower... but after spending over 4 hours reading reviews and comparing it appears ALL 24" monitors have their problems... so I'll stick with a bad ass 22" for $300 for now...

Where did you buy the 22"? I may follow suit.

jägermonsta · « **Reply #14 on:** October 03, 2007, 02:47:06 PM »
