I <3 Newegg (AND BB let me return something!!!)

[Hubris]

Yeah, we all know Newegg rocks, and I've been ordering almost exclusively from them for years, but I thought I'd post this because of the order I just placed.

I went up to Best Buy last week (I know, I know, but it's the only place in or around Ithaca I know of that sells video cards) and picked up a 9800 Pro for $300. And I LOVED the card; I've been playing UT2004 with it and it's smooth as silk even with AA cranked.

But I was looking at Newegg yesterday and saw a 9800Pro Sapphire for $212. I was like WTF! I can get a better quality card for over 100 less from Newegg (NY tax SUCKS). So I brought the 9800 back to Best Buy today and order a Sapphire from Newegg, PLUS a new case and some fans, all for $20 less than the card from BB.

So I say again, I :heart: Newegg and may they live forever. As one of the reviews I read said: "I think Newegg is god".

Edit: For you, 911.

I just ordered a mobo and vid card from them today. Cheapest deal on the net, plus free shipping and a free t-shirt!

Yep. 2-third of my hardware came from there. Great Price

Stating that newegg is great, too obvious.

This thread should be titled "OMG!! BB let me return something!!!"

Strange, that's old news for a $212 9800pro. You seldom surf the net, right?

Blow me. I'm not always in the market for a video card, and I hardly ever keep up with prices if I'm not in the market.

What excuse did you give to Best Buy when you returned the card? Did they charge you a restocking fee or something?

Nope. Told the girl I decided I didn't want it. Except for open DVDs I've never had a proble returning anything to BB (damn full screen version of Spider-Man!).
