What are some other stores with prices competitive with Newegg and TigerDirect?

Microcenter has great in-store deals. Need one in your area though. As for online, not much is on the level that newegg is. Amazon, maybe?

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Terrible for browsing and research, but great prices when you actually want to buy.

Yeah, Amazon's site sucks for searching and researching...but their prices aren't too bad...especially if you sign up for the free Prime trial...

Amazon is almost always more expensive when I compare it to Newegg, but if you have Prime you might break even with the free 2-day shipping.

There are exceptions: I needed a new home theater receiver and Amazon had the Sony STRDH820 for $100 less than Newegg! (And I'm liking it so far.)

Depending on your state you might also not pay taxes at Amazon when you would at Newegg, or vice versa.

Micro Center and Fry's will price match. Micro Center seems fairly painless in my experience, but this past Sunday I went to a Fry's with some buddies and they wanted to price match some DVDs. Sure, they did it, but you have to go to one of their kiosks where they'll painstakingly research the pricing, then type it all up to do one of those printouts that you have to hand to the cashier. Took about 20 minutes for six DVDs. Big waste of time, but saved about $100 (some of those were box sets).

:thumbsup: Ghetto as hell website, but the prices and service are pretty good.

Directron is one of the very few places that give you a real warranty, since most places will just tell you to take it up with the manufacturer if you have a problem after the 30 day return period.

https://www.superbiiz.com/ - prices are as good as newegg, and they always seem to have a $15 dollar off code for most items. The knock on them is that they will only ship to approved addressed on your CC - okay for some people, but my card won't add my Manhattan business address for some reason. Booooo!!!

I buy cheaper than newegg, in a very nice place - but honestly ... I'm not telling -> but you can purchase from me @ the same price if you want a full config w/ OC and more :p (Europe Only).

Be careful, as many others you seem to believe Newegg has "very good" prices .. well it's decent but that's all.

Some things will be more expensive and some will not. They have a lot of combo deals. I am not stuck on any one store. This is also a custom build shop. They offer testing on some items.
