CDW?


I know of Tech Data and Ingram Micro, who are other competitors to CDW with a good amount of selection?

Insight.

CDW is just a reseller of computer "stuff." Hardware, software, furniture....everything.

Newegg is pretty big though..
Crucial? They do memory and graphics ... but they manufacture.

Zones, PC Connection, PC Mall, Insight.

Tech Data and Ingram aren't competitors, they are distributors that CDW uses if they don't have stock.

CDW isn't a distributor, they are a reseller. The sell to the end user in most circumstances. Distributors work with the manufacturer to sell to resellers.

Don't do Tiger Direct, unless you don't want a price break on bigger orders and god awful customer service.

I believe Newegg does handle such things, just not under the name Newegg. :/
