Chris alpha 07-05-2001, 12:05 AM newegg.com :) i just bought about $500 worth of computer components from them... basically cause their prices are very competitive resellerratings.com shows superb scores for newegg.com :) g'luck Get-Hosted.com 07-05-2001, 12:27 AM Agreed! One of the best places to buy from. BEFORE you buy from anyone... make sure to check their ratings @ resellerratings.com and it's worth the small amount extra you pay for sleep, and no headaches. alpha 07-05-2001, 01:19 AM argg... these falling memory prices are really getting my attention... *looks into wallet* arg :rolleyes: tom.oneil 07-08-2001, 12:13 PM http://www.pricewatch.com - YMMV, but great prices. Fiber 07-08-2001, 12:15 PM PCNut and Outside Loop. Look at THERE reseller ratings. JTY 07-08-2001, 01:17 PM PCNut is great, back in the days of Celeron 300A @ 450, I bought one from them. My order confirmation came from the owner himself. Alan - Vox 07-08-2001, 01:29 PM if you are in the uk dabs.com has a very good and fast service, average prices too. I just bought a printer from them, i ordered it on monday, they got it on tuesday and i had it on wednesday :) rockergrrl 07-08-2001, 05:05 PM The bad thing about buying parts from most stores online is that the parts are usually OEM -- and OEM usually only holds a 1 year warranty. I've had a hard time finding places that sell the retail versions of hardware -- they usually have the 3 year warranty. Know of any place that I can buy hardware retail?? I've searched all over... I just don't want to upgrade my computer and then after a year...there goes my motherboard...and now I have to fork over another $200 for a new mobo... :( davidb 07-08-2001, 05:38 PM Find a computer show, they usually have good stuff.

If you go to places like Newegg, MWave, Outside Loop and PCNut; those are retail. They even mention it. If you are having troubles determining if it is an OEM or Retail, let me know. MWave offers many different versions of products. |
