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.

Compare with Directron and Newegg.

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

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

The only items I've bought from them that have been returned has been
one video card clearly marked refurb, strike also one DVD burner. I'm
not saying your statement isn't true... only I have not experenced
this. I did get a bum printer from them once... and had NO issues what
so ever returning it to canon... where if it was a refurb there might
have been an issue.

PICK 10 ITEMS. DO A COMPARISON ON PRICEGRABBER. SEE WHERE NEWEGG
FALLS. THEN YOU CAN JUDGE

Apparently your CAPS LOCK button is broken. This may be a good time to
buy a new keyboard from one of those places you mentioned. Let us know
how good of a deal you got.
So out of the 6 items I randomly selected 1/2 of them were the lowest
price on pricewatch, and the other 1/2 were between 1.49 and $5.00 of
the lowest bid. I must conclude that Measekite's statement "USUALLY
MUCH HIGHER THAN
OTHER PLACES" is false in this test, as $5.00 more for a $100 item
isn't what i'd call much higher.

Typing in all capital letters does little but make it appear
that you have insufficient experience on the 'net to have an
informed opinion.
I did randomly pick a product and compared on Pricegrabber.
Newegg was only $1 higher than the lowest vendor, BEFORE
adding the shipping cost. AFTER adding shipping cost,
Newegg was lower.
"Sometimes", on some items you will find one store a dollar
or two cheaper than another, BUT then one also has to factor
in the addt'l shipping costs to use multiple vendors. You
also have to factor for the return hassles, as even quality
name-brand products are occasionally defective or otherwise
problematic. Dealing with some of the low-ball vendors on
Pricegrabber or pricewatch can easily cost an extra hour or
more in time trying to resolve problems. With Newegg, that
whole process is painless, you don't even have to call or
email them- just complete the RMA form on their 'site and
mail the product back. Very shortly after they receive it,
you are notifed of the resolution.

Meashershithead has been typing in all caps now for months. This means

Ignore his stupidity. He knows nothing about ink, paper or printers.
He's had but one printer in his entire miserable life.
