I am just about to build a new computer, and I was wondering what was a good place to buy most of my stuff from (so shipping costs stay minimal). What has good deals and is reliable?

Thanks for any suggestions.

These guys are usually on the lower end for prices. A little bit high for shipping though, but thier customer service is second to none. I placed an online order with them, and there was a problem with my credit card. They contacted me within an hour of placing the order. Within 2 hours all of the issues had been resolved, and my order still shipped same day.

Edit - I forgot the damn link :eek: Mwave

It's been a little while since I've ordered parts online, but my best experiences have been with:

1)TCWO-got cpu and hsf, not quite there on video cards.

and believe it or not

)buy.com-video card

Despite all it's bad press, I have never had a single problem with buy.com

and I've probably spent $5K with them over the last 2 1/2 years.

If you intend on spending $150 or more at one time I would recommend buying from Buy.com and don't forget to use their $15 off $150 coupon (PM or e-mail me if you want it).

Otherwise just based on selection, prices, customer service and other factors I would recommend (in no particular order):
newegg.com
mwave.com
onvia.com
egghead.com
