I visited the main city computer market today and got ripped off. 3 off the 5 things I bought don't work. Next time, Ill be buying from my local dealer. :) ...5% extra is worth the peace of mind.

SVC, Xoxide, Monarch/ZZF/Egg

Actually, I try to steal as many parts as possible from my unsuspecting rich friends. :)

Same here, 1.5 miles from a B&M (Orland Park, IL).

Depends on what I'm buying. MicroCenter/ZZF/SVC/CompuGeeks/Directron/Chiefvalue. PM with coupon to Office Depot/OfficeMax/Staples for HDD deals.

newegg usually for stuff I can't find on the fs/ft forum here. sometimes I go to Fry's, but it's always waaay crazy over there.

ZipZoomFly for everything

cheap 2Day fedex helps when you are near(er) the east coast.
