I just wondering where all you other computer techs get your parts at.
Where do you buy your parts from?

I look around a lot. Read some tech sites and their forums. Read reviews enthusiest/overcklocker's forums. You"ll get an idea of where people look for parts, especially specialty parts. These sites/forums will also have links to pricing comparisons and/special pricing(deals). Another good thing about the forums is that if when shopping you come accross a company that ytou haven't heard of you may find info about them there.
But I'm the type of buyer that sits on my money until a good deal comes along. If your not careful its easy to overspend.

one of the good things about newegg is if you give a testimonial on their site about your experience you get all sort of cheap crap mailed to you. I buy all my parts from newegg. And they always have some sort of sale going on. I got $40 off my last order.

You mean in addition to the regular newsletter promos? Maybe I should start reviewing my purchases...

No. Talking about the newsletter coupons
Not product reviews. https://secure.newegg.com/Newversion/FeedBack/PostTestimonials.asp Give feedback (I've only given good so I don't know if they give you gifts for bad ones) and withing 24 to 48 hours they will ship a small gift to you. This time around I got a hat and a shirt. Last time I got a pen, hat, and one of those multi function calcs. Of course they all bare their logo (the new hat has a camera company on it, something with a C along with the newegg logo and the shirt also has an AMD logo)

@MC: really! I haven't heard about gifts for feedback. The newsletter coupons are great though.
newegg.com here, too.

Don't be afraid to check out regular stores like CompUSA and Best Buy. I got a BFG 8800 GTS OC2 640 mb video card from BB for $316.00 and an Antec Quattro 850 W PSU from CompUsa for $129.00. Also my Antec 900 case was only $89 from them as well. Bought my monitor at Staples, of all places. They had Samsungs on sale.
I'm pretty sure that everything I have ordered from the egg has arrived in two days on regular ground UPS shipping. So far, they have definately been the best in that area. Except, the one thing I ordered from TigerDirect, can't remember what it was, arrived pretty quick also.

Has anyone else tried ZipZoomFly lately? Their shipping isn't very zippy unless you pay for premium shipping service.
