Can anyone recommend me a store that has a similar selection to newegg and can get me a part sent and delivered by thursday (assuming I order today) to IL. Ive been spoiled by NE (since 1997) and the only other stores I have ever dealt with were Monitors Direct (awesome experience highly reccomended) and Monarch computers (somewhat bad experience). Im looking for a antec true power 550 (my 6800gt absoulutely pwns my current 430 (when it runs 400/1100), it needs its own 12v rail :eek: ) but im leaving town on thursday and want it here before i leave.

I'm building a budget rig for my wife for Christmas and need to pinch every penny possible on quality parts. I used to buy from Newegg without question but damn...their getting a little to big for their pants as the old saying goes. I saved $12 alone just off an $79.00 CPU through Mwave,it got here just as fast and in the same AMD box. Guess NewEgg is just used to everyone lining up with their credit cards. Search around on Price Watch,Price Grabber etc,you'll find a deal.

I've bought from Monarch Tech,MWave,ZZFly,DirecTron and the XP OS off of E-Bay. All these transactions have gone well. Be sure and leave feedback over at Reseller Ratings,its the best for knowing in advance how a company operates.

I had a similar experience with a mobo I was trying to buy. They had a problem with my billing address and after a week never called me, but charged me for the order without a problem. I had to call them myself to find out that there was a problem and my mobo still didn't ship out until a few days later.

Different part....but I feel the same way about Monarch. Ordered from them twice and both time it was not a good experience at all.
