Yeah. From my own experience getting everything from newegg and watching my roommate deal w/a dozen different places to save a few bucks every transaction, I'd recommend sticking to Newegg

 

[geekender]

Well I already have a case, the memory, NICs, and the sound card. I ordered the Radeon from BestBuy last night. I am really just looking for ideas on the motherboard/cpu and drive options. I am also in Georgia, so at least the shipping accurate. Thanks for helping out.

Prices are a little lower at newegg now

Too bad you don't have a Fry's Electronics in your area.

Yeah, yeah...rub it in, ya bastid.

Actually, I wouldn't be shocked if we did indeed get one eventually....Atlanta being the bustling metropolis it is and all.

Good call RossMAN. I really hate that place sometimes, but you cannot beat it. Best prices and selection around.

I heard on WSB (AM750) Clark Howard saying that we were getting one in Alpharetta by year end. Could be a rumor though, don't see anything on their website.
