Companies are doing a very good job marketting The newset and best when 75% of people really dont need it.
Think of the number of people who will rush to buy windows vista when when windows xp orwin 2000 will serve them well.
But microsoft will have a ton of people racing to upgrade.
A friend of mines wanted to get a new fancy computer and asked what they should get. But all they do is word proccess and play mp3 files and surf the net .

I was in the local computer store looking at computer cases and I noticed that people were buying the cases with the neon lights and windows in the cases. These cases were very expensive. While on the other hand the Antec case was less in price and better built.

Well for me I shop around and for what I buy newegg has the best prices. If a person can find a better price I say go for it. We are all value shopers.
I ndded to get a 24 pin socket to 20 pin cable and one local store was out so I went to another. The guy went in back and came back and had one and told me the price.
31.80......
Yes 31.80 for a part thats retail 6 to 10 dollars. I could have had it over nighted from new egg cheaper.
I...
The Reason that I use Newegg is... I trust them. Their prices are better then local prices, The customer service is Great. Some times cheaper is not always better. When I buy from them I know I will get what I expect in a timely manner.
With 2nd day shipping my A8nsli was 180.00 the local cost is 240.00 plus sales tax. Then they actually tried to convince me it was a good price that was what made me mad.
If you think about it with 2nd day shipping newegg is local
In the past local stores offered better product knowledge and that would mke up for higher cost but that in many cases now is not true. Or as the case here is the tech at the local assumes he is talking to somebody woth zero computer knowlwdge and has a bad attitude. :(
Locally we dont have...
When i was at one of the two local computer stores I was really suprised how OVer priced the stuff was. The girl at the counter actually told me that 240.00 plus tax was a good price for the A8n-sli Deluxe. When i asked her if she knew what new egg was she was like duh is that a local store...
