Best place to buy computer parts online?

[YOUR KONG]

Can anyone recommend anywhere with especially good prices? To connect my new hard-drive I need a UDMA IDE cable, which is apparently rarer than an one-eyed albino dodo around here.

Tnx

Man - this sucker was $30 at CompUSA, now I'm finding it for $7 to $11. Go Internet!

I've had good luck with www.essencompu.com. Also, some of mmy comrades swear by newegg.com.

Seconded on newegg and essencompu. Dealt with both and like'em fine.

Be sure and get round UDMA cable, it keeps the parts way cooler due to increased airflow:)

Another one down for newegg. Also, thinkgeek has good prices occasionally on various parts. Sometimes, you can go to local colleges and ask for their IT or Computer Services department and they can sometimes hook you up with some insane deals.

I've found www.newegg.com to have fast service + great return policies

check out http://www.pricewatch.com

I've found pricewatch good for getting an idea on the market value, but I pay a couple extra dollars to deal with newegg.

pricewatch works best in tandem with resellerratings.com. I've had some super-annoying interactions with some retailers I found off of pricewatch. Newegg and essencompu are where its at.

I went the whole pricewatch/reseller ratings route, and ended up choosing monarchcomputer.com for all my PC components. They struck a good balance between discount and reliability based on user feedback. Also they're outside CA, so the whole tax thing y'know. Had a positive experience with them.

newegg is the shit. www.mwave.com is pretty cool, too.

tigerdirect.com has good deals as well as new egg ,though I have yet to purchase from them

I've used both mwave and tiger direct satisfactorily.

I've heard some grumbles about the latter's customer service, but I didn't have s problem on the one order I placed with them.

Newegg is actually one of the sites that I came across using pricewatch. The previous posts are right though...you have to be careful who you deal with on there.
