Best Place to but electronic components

[dmw16]

I am doing a design project for one of my classes. Unfortunatly I do not know much about electronics because I am an aerospace major. So if someone could at least suggest a place to buy pieces that would be great.
thanks,

Are you talking 'bout resistors, capacitors, leds OR chips???

Digikey's pretty good...

Im talkin about all that stuff...but radioshack isnt quite up to par. I need stuff like 360 degree pots w/ very low resistance. Good thermisters ect. Anything I would need for an electronic weather station that can do temperature, wind speed, wind direction, pressure, and humidity.

DIGIKEY ROCKS. 2-nd day delivery. awesome selection and awesome website!!!!!!!!!``11!!! price is good but sometimes you can find better deals on other sites like allelectronics. but then digikey has a very big selection. sometimes it's overwhelming b/c there are so many choices if you are getting more common components
