Where do you shop for you computer hardware?

[G13]

Like the title says. Where do you buy all of you hardware? Mainly i'm interested in online stores.

The only hardware store i can think of in Los Angeles would be Fry's Electronics other than that i don't know of any. If anyone else knows of anywhere else in the LA area please let me know.
Thanks.

[Dailow]

I'm surprised you don't try Newegg...

The Canadian equivalent would be NCIX. Although Newegg does have a Canadian site now (recently launched), it isn't as competitive as NCIX is.

[TapisVolant]

NCIX is definitely the best here. Newegg.ca is crap. Bought something from them when it opened. Item was actually sent from US, and I end up paying much more than originally expected. But I almost always buy from a local store cause I hate having to send items back by mail for repair or something and argue with the guys on the phone. Too much stress I'd rather avoid.

[Jayson]

I don't know about Canada, but in the US Newegg is great for ordering online. I wish I lived near a Fry's though because some things are cheaper when you buy them in store.

[Gloves]

I mostly order my parts off the forementioned newegg. I also have tried tigerdirect. I normally search retailmenot.com and the cashback of live.com to see which has the best/cheapest deals and that is how I normally pick which one.

[JPhone]

Fry's Electronics - since my girlfriend works there and she gets employee discounts :)

Online I shop at newegg best one so far.

[george_sanderson]

Brick & mortar: Fry's, Microcenter, RadioShack
Online: NewEgg, ZipZoomFly

[Invernoso]

internet got the lowest prices

[KillerBoy]

a PC parts shop near by my house,where I get all my stuff..

[shanal]

I buy it from the local retail store..dont have any idea about any online stores..so cant help you.

[bigmatt]

newegg.com so close to their storage but no will call :(. so it ships further away and comes back to me, kind of funny actually lol. Retail I go to fry's electronics as well.

[Red Hook]

I do all of it at Newegg it seems they have the best prices.

[seatownclown]

newegg is my main one and easily the best then tigerdirect zipzoomfly and a few others

[baccount]

In Australia, the best online site is staticice. It lists all retailers and is a good starting point. I order most of my stuff from pccasegear.
Otherwise there are computer fairs every weekend in Canberra where I live.

[dawg]

in australia the best place (read : cheapest ) is msy by far .... crap service tho

[lara]

i shop in nearer stores in india like silicon and komal

[Arsener]

Even though I don't live in USA , I heard that Newegg has some great prices . I was amazed .

[minty]

NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/) is the obvious choice because their review system is excellent.

TigerDirect (http://www.tigerdirect.com/) is similar to NewEgg, with generally cheaper prices.

Also, try using meta-searches like PriceWatch (http://www.pricewatch.com/public/) and PriceGrabber (http://www.pricegrabber.com/)

[Slav]

For Australia, staticice is great. I also shop at centrecom as they are my local store however they don't necessarily have the best prices all the time.

[blam]

newegg is where i get most of my stuff.

[PixelEater]

Newegg.com by far.

[Diablo92]

Online shop http://www.litec-computer.de/

[RobGordon]

Check the shops with the best prices online and then buy the stuff there.

[tehNUGE]

Mainly Newegg. Sometimes Frys and Ewiz. Monarch Computer was good back in the day.

[(C)ramp]

[Flashnet]

In Canada, one of the best places is www.ncix.com
Very nice selection and they always have one promo or another going on.

Highly recommended!

[h00kie]

newegg/tigerdirect

[pod42]

Mostly from newegg. I'll say they have the satisfying customer service and great products with low pricing. They have nice packages that I can buy for lower prices, and they often have nice offers.

[taral1993]

The sad thing is dat in my country India online salers are certified moron and charge much higher price den street price

[akshet]

[solido]

newegg.

[Prometheus]

Being in New Zealand I use PriceSpy as well as TradeMe.
Pricespy is great. Finds the cheapest prices in the country and lists them :)

[KingNothing]

CanadaComputers, NewEgg, Futureshop, and BestBuy. I use Red Flag before i start shopping to spot some deals.

[ctechguy]

When i order stuff to US address i use Newegg, Newegg.ca sucks as everything is shipped from the US causing large customs fees and delays. So in Canada i use NCIX, their high priced but price match canadian retailers.

[johnny_bgoode]

I've used both Tiger Direct (http://www.tigerdirect.com) and NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com) and I have to say I prefer NewEgg. They've got great deals on an excellent selection, and I've heard so many bad things about people getting ripped off with the rebates that Tiger Direct offers that I'm worried to buy anything there anymore.

[phoenix]

Tiger direct is alright and there's another one I use, I think it's ncix. Those are both really good.

[Bingo]

Salland.eu (dutch) or ebay =)

[Kona]

Frys electronics... it has everything

[brochnick]

Komplett.se
Best computer store in Sweden

[holden246]

I buy all of my computer parts from TigerDirect or newegg mostly because of the great price and convenience.

[oneallen]

[garefal]

[mmamike]

ebay ebuyer

[Fusion]

Mostly i buy in shop nearby though i also buy on the internet a lot.

[Hedphelym]

For Canadian customers:

1. bestdirect.ca (best overall prices)
2. ncix.com (well made site, good prices and they only charge gst where I live)
3. directcanada.com (for what ncix and bestdirect do not have)
4. tigerdirect.ca (they charge both taxes because they got branch offices everywhere, but sometimes have nice rebates, ex.: 8800gt currently selling at 88$)
5. For anything else shopbot.ca

[FeelingStore]

Tigerdirect store is like 10 min from my house.....suckers...

[simon]

Just bought a bunch of computer parts and used Newegg.ca, Tigerdirect.ca and NCIX.com all of which are quite good.

My favourite is Newegg because of the prices and service

[sake]

I buy only from a shop.

[occultus]

From many shops in my town (only from computer shops of course, not big stores)

[Qlix]

www.komplett.se :)

[Vayd]

I mostly use either newegg or amazon. But generally I shop around for the best price I can get.

[rpg_lurker]

Best online retailers:

newegg.com
zipzoomfly.com
mwave.com
deepsurplus.com

honorable mention to pricewatch.com, not a retailer but a good place to compare prices on computer parts

[franzbonus]

1. eBay
2. Froogle.com
3. NCIX

5. ShopBot
