Alternatives to newegg

[zx6riz]

Im looking to build 4 or 5 new systems and was looking to alternatives to newegg. I have used them quite a bit in the past but I have been finding their prices arent as good as they were years ago. Anyone else have the service like them with better pricing. Building multiple systems it can add up real fast.

Mwave prices are not too bad.

I am building a new computer for myself, and have been price-watching for over a month. My (almost final) list is in this thread that I made:

You'll notice that I'm only ordering 2 or 3 components from Newegg. All the other parts were cheaper at other sites (mainly ZipZoomFly, who also has free 2 day shipping on many products).

Depeding on where you live, you might find the best prices at a local retailer (not places like Best Buy or CompUSA, but smaller specialty stores). It seems that often, they make most of their money through servicing machines or building systems/networks for businesses, so they sometimes have extremely competitive prices on hardware. Plus if a part is dead, it's easier to drive a few minutes down the road than the headache of returning parts to an etailer. Good luck!

The thing to watch to is prices might be real low at one retailer like ZipZoomFly but you end up paying for it in shipping charges. Last I checked back in Decemeber ZipZoomFly had really high shipping costs compared to New Egg and Mwave

MWAVE and ZZF.

ZZF ships to canada, newegg doesnt, last time i looked.

i dont think any site has a better layout than newegg though.

This may or may not be true for products in general, but every product that I'm ordering from ZZF now has free Fedex 2 day shipping. Can't beat that!
