Price isn't everything, although NewEgg often has the best price too. What

I second NewEgg. They usually are within $5-$10 of the cheapest prices
I see anywhere, and I often don't go elsewhere if they have what I'm
looking for.
As far as other places I like to look in case NewEgg's price doesn't
seem all that great, www.pricewatch.com and www.resellerratings.com are
favorites. ResellerRatings.com also has the advantage of people rating
the customer service of the site.

dealmac.com has some good deals listed but you have to check back with
them routinely or sign up for their newsletter.
shopping.yahoo.com has come through for me more than once.
Like another poster, I like newegg.com also, as their shipping is
usually very reasonable and their service has been good for me. And they
have some great specials too.
surpluscomputers.com can have a gem in their store every now and then.
And I actually found a great deal on a keyboard I was looking for at
provantage.com not long ago, plus their shipping was very fast, as they
have a distribution point that is within 200 miles from me. I got the
item in two days on routine shipping charges. Really put a smile on my
face, as my old keyboard was getting really cranky and my fingers were
getting very sore!

I had been looking for my first laser printer for my home office. I had
pretty much decided that the HP 1020 was what I could afford (bottom of
the line but had some good reviews) however the cheapest price I'd seen
was $138 on Amazon (shipping extra)
Newegg had a 6-hour sale a couple weeks ago and I grabbed up the HP 1020
for $99.99 plus $6 shipping. Saved me $40+, no doubt. I'll be checking
them again regularly, for sure!

pricewatch.com for comparison shopping.
I tend to buy my stuff at gearxs.com if they have it.

www.pricewatch.com and www.froogle.com
amazon.com also does some comparison
Keep in mind that lowest bid isn't always the way to go. Some products
might for example be referbs without full factory warranty.
I tend to shop at newegg.com. Their prices are good, their return
policy decent, and shipping is speedy. |

I have shopped at Newegg and was satisfied. I have read lately that
they ship items returned by others.
I recommend Directron. I live 8 miles away and know several people
there. Most are computer nuts so you know you will get good service.
And in almost every case they will cost the same as Newegg. Of course
it depends on where you are located.

It's the only way our army can run, after the Waco Massacre and most
young people not wanting to participate in the slaughter of fellow
citizens.

My exoerience is that on most computer/electronic items, amazon is
high.

That's ironical since people have been complaining about Newegg
shipping items that were returned.
