I want to buy something from newegg.com, but does anyone know if they are good and reliable?
I just want to make sure before I buy from them.

Yes, I agree. I have bought several things from them and have not had any problems.

newegg is excellent. Ordered two 1 GHz PIIIs from them just before Christmas. Very well packaged and both were matched so I could put them in my dual rig.

Check it out...... they even have a booth here at the CES in Las Vegas. They were handing out candy today (Reeces). I told them how pleased I was with their organization too.

I'm continually impressed with Newegg, whoever owns that place really has a sharp operation. No one place has the rock-bottom price on everything, but Newegg is very competitive. Their shipping charges are not unreasonable, considering you're getting FedEx Express Saver, which is usally one or two days quicker than standard UPS Ground. Realize that Newegg's 'quoted' FedEx cost next to each item is only if you were to only purchase that item alone. If you buy more stuff, the shipping gets cheaper.

I just purchased a 1GHz Celeron, 3 HSF + Arctic Silver, 2 x MSI KM133A Pro v5.0, 2 x 300w P4/AMD approved Evercase enclosure, 2 x 850 Duron, Lite-On 24102B CDRW, Sony 52x CD-ROM, 2 x Creative 56K PCI Modem, 2 x D-Link DFE-530TX+ NIC, some cabling and accessories, and even though Newegg's price on several of these items were higher than I could find on Pricewatch, I saved a bundle over what it would have cost me trying to buy every item from a lowball reseller with high shipping costs.

I don't mind paying a few bucks more for quality service, anyway.

yes, cybercowboy or should I say John?

it is a safe place to buy stuff frome especially a lite-on cd-rw. My previous experience was with a refurbished sound card.
