I quickly did a couple of price comparisons between MC and The Egg and found MC has better prices on:
X1800XL @MC $349.99
X1800XL @ The Egg $399
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @MC $311.99
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @ The Egg $322.00

There's also a $30 rebate on the 1800XL

For me tax makes it more expensive than newegg.

How do you get around tax at Newegg?

 

[tealk]

well u you dont live in the state that newegg are located in...then you dont have to pay tax, because they dont have to pay tax.....

Correct me if i'm worng but usually if you live in the same state that the vendor is from you pay tax. But if it's in a different state then its tax free

Or you'd pay taxes if your shipping zip code is in the state(s) where the retailer(s) has its presence.

Wrong. Its not tax-free. Because the vendor does not have a physical business presense in your state it is not required to collect taxes on behalf of the state/city/etc. Most states/municipalities suggest that as individuals we should report our online purchases and pay applicable sales tax.

Yeah. I do that. Yeah.

Picked up a X2 4200+ for 390+tax, so I saved a few bucks instead of Newegg, 400+tax+.99 shipping. I did pick up a returned ABIT AN8 SLI for 84.99 that had a 30.00 rebate, (55.00 after rebate). Total for the combo was 475 plus tax with the 30.00 rebate, 445 plus tax. Same combo at Newegg was 546 plus tax. Good deal at Microcenter for a change.

Since I don't feel like driving all the way down to Irvine, I'll just have one of the local Fry's pricematch it. Good deals, though.
