Those are my three favorite places to find the lowest prices around. You need to be careful if you're going to shop with a company that was selling it the cheapest. As the old saying goes you get what you pay for. That may mean the price impacts the type of support/sales assistance you have or it may be the different between the retail and OEM version of the product. Just make sure you get what you thought you were getting. Good luck!

Just some words from the wise... Be careful shopping from places like pricewatch. When it comes to actual PC parts they are really crappy when you try to buy from them. I ordered 7 different motherboards from 2 different companies (it was a pretty crappy brand) and only 1 of the mobos worked... Unbelieveable =) and it wasn't like I plugged them in and fried them. I actually plugged them in and the majority worked except something dumb would not work. LPT1 was broken.. Onboard battery clip didn't hold the battery and when I tapped it would not work etc. etc. A personal site that I have been buying stuff from and have been very impressed with is @

We have upgraded a bunch of our servers with some parts from them and have had no problem. BTW: the other parts where for friends computers who wanted me to build them some comps. for cheap not for our servers =)

Another GREAT place is the Anandtech.com forums. They have a "bargains" forum there. I believe that's how people found out about the $500 Gateway 6400 servers.

Btw, I first heard about those Gateway servers here at Webhostingtalk. I was late to the game, so I had to keep calling their sales department until I got hold of someone who was clueless about it being back-ordered. Anyways my Gateway babies (3 of them) finally arrived 4 weeks ago. Damn I'm happy.

jic the product was crap, because you ordered crap. You cant blame the company you baught it from if you order crap parts.
