I'd buy from Mwave. They've been serving the community for many years. :thumbsup::laugh:
Besides, I hate the way ClubIT lists "Combo Specials"... only to have many of them "Out of stock". :thumbsdown::disgust:

I've been doing business with mwave for a little over 8 years and they've always been good to me. I've been doing more with newegg, actually I do most of my shopping at the egg but between the two I'd say mwave.

Go with MWAVE, a company that allows you to pick up at their front door in my opinion are always the more reliable ones. I live 15 minutes away from them, and I also live right next door to NewEgg as well, but the security guard won't let me past the gate. :D

I've ordered stuff occasionally from MWave for about eight years now, and I've never been disappointed. Nowadays, I normally buy from Newegg, but I just got my C2D from MWave.

I've never used MWave's Customer Service.

I've bought alot of things from Mwave and their service has always matched Newegg for me. RMAs, refunds, even some basic tech support has been either just as good as Newegg or better in some cases. They're always my first choice but unfortunately for them, newegg usually has products that Mwave does not carry.

Mwave, most definitely. I used to order everything from them, but they have gone down from their status as far as selection goes. Newegg seemed to surpass them, even though they were sister companies.

"Newegg seemed to surpass them, even though they were sister companies."

Mwave is a sister of Newegg?
I thought it was ChiefValue that was Newegg's sister store... Are there more?

I honestly don't know if that is still true or not. I know they were "sister sites" or whatever you want to call it a while back--around 4 - 6 years ago.

No. They've never been related. Newegg just looked like Mwave at one point because they opted to use the same design.
