302Powered Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I'm looking for a good place to buy computer parts online(ie. motherboard cpu and ram) I've looked a few places but I wanted to see if there is anyplace better. I've been to: newegg.com, pricewatch.com, and tigerdirect.com. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balian Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Microshitter is always a good place to catch a few things on sale.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelliK Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I personally have been using newegg ever since they have been there, they are the best online retailer for computer parts in my book, maybe not always the cheapest but the best quality parts/packing, and customer service if indeed you do get some faulty parts. Also have used zipzoomfly, http://www.zipzoomfly.com for parts recently, I believe they are also fairly competitive in pricing and offer free Fedex two day shipping.

Trouble Maker Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I've never used but heard very good things about zip zoom fly and new egg. From what I've heard and seen you might be able to get stuff a little cheaper if you find the cheapest price on everything on price watch. But you don't get everything from one place and it's random if they are a good vendor or not. I've heard some horror stories. Not worth saving the few extra bucks imho. I'd stay away from Tiger Direct too, horrible customer service. Microcenter is nice because it's an actual store. They usually have some good deals on stuff too.

JaSSon Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 newegg is great. I'm getting ready to RMA a mobo and they're waiving a restocking fee and paying for return shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 newegg it top notch also 5oclock.com is good and they are based out of dayton (they have a store there as well. Only down side with them is you have to pay tax. I grew up woth 5 0'Clock. They are based in my hometown, and most of my friends worked there. Great company. I try to shop with them as often as possible. there is also http://www.computerzoo.com and http://www.pcclub.com.. I havent shopped with either of these in a while, but when i did, they were pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 +1 Newegg I've never had a single problem with them. Not the best prices but very reilable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuht Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I usually use Newegg, because I'm pretty confident I won't get any nasty surprises. Also used zipzoomfly.com and mwave.com. Maybe not the cheapest, but they all seem to be pretty reliable and it beats getting screwed at a retail store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wease Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 One of the best features with NewEgg is the shipping. Cheap and FAST. I haven't used anything else in the past 2-3 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
