prices you see at computer hardware distributors will not be significantly better than ecommerce sites these days. The reason being that half the big ecommerce sites are just fronts or satellite companies for distributors themselves.

That's a damn good price, $70 for a gig of PC3200 RAM? That's not too shabby at all.
