Please list the top 5 online computer hardware stores in your opinion. Seems to only be a few worth mentioning.

1. Newegg
2. Zipzoomfly
3. Monarch
4. ?
5. ?
 
Newegg
Monarch - i usually order cpu's from them (no sales tax for me in CA)
Mwave
FrozenCPU.com
HighSpeedPC (for specialty items)
SVC

BUDGET SITES
acortech
akida
anamax
pcimicro
centrix-intl.com
 
I usually use a combination of:

Pricewatch to scour for cheapo prices
&
Resellerratings to check out the individual stores

then i find a good ratio of "reliable store to cheapest price"


But when i'm in a hurry it's usually:
newegg, zipzoomfly, chiefvalue, blah blah blah
 
1. Newegg
2. Zipzoomfly
3. TankGuys
4. Monarch
5. eWiz

Tankguys definitely seems like one of the best. The only bad thing is the very limited selection. However, there are plenty of good ones out there. I ussually just search around for the best prices.

agreed aside from monarch. i'd probably put mwave in that slot.

and if its service alone, then tankguys is #1.

It is still relatively small. The owner posts at number of different forums, including this one. His username is TankGuys.

just avoid tigerdirect rebates like the plague or something similarly bad/evil

They've gotten better. Once they realized the rebate "issue" was hurting their rep.

Monitors are always cheap there even without MIR's, though. I got a .5 Hyundai 17" for < $200. A co-worker got a pair of 17" and arm bundle for $400. Crazy.
