www.jab-tech.com << very good site and prices
www.performance-pcs.com << Good customer service, my first order was messed up and they sent the item they forgot to package out overnight with free shipping and I had it the next day. :thumbsup:
www.newegg.com << Obvious
www.zipzoomfly.com
www.frozencpu.com << expensive but very good if you live in the NY area. When I lived in NYC I would have my order the next day with standard shipping.

 

[Ctrackstar126]

My three favorites:
Newegg ( i used ups ground shipping and got it the next day...Ship from NJ i live in NY)
ZipZoomFly (fast)
Monarch (Great customer support even include a return label in case of an RMA so you dont have to pay for it way better then Newegg seeing how i had to rma from both places)

 

[Markfw]

newegg (shipping by UPS lately sucks though, every package was damaged, but the goods were OK inside)
mwave (slow shipping compared to newegg)
monarchcomputer (slow on combos, OK on others)
zipzoomfly (free 2 day air, once they finally ship the order)
svc.com (best prices on HSF's and fan, cords, OK on cases, faster shipping than newegg even !, and shipping prices on cases reasonable)

 

[jdogg707]

Def. SVC, which is not on the list and Tank Guys.

 

[daake07]

Newegg-given
ZIpzoomfly-thats a given

Xoxide-I like these guys because they have really good deals on all types of mod supplies, cases, powersupplies, and fans. They are also expanding their variety of items since they got a new warehouse.

SVC is also a good mod supplies site. Good prices on most fans and heatsinks. Right up there with Xoxide on most items.

 

[John]

Best BYTE has always been good to me.

 

[Nohr]

Don't forget Directron.

 

[Texun]

New Egg
ZZF
Mwave
SVC
Directron

I don't notice more than a day's difference with any one them on delivery. Actually, ZZF may be a day faster in most cases.

also any comments about order processing time and whatnot would be appreciated as i have only dealt with 2 of these companies lol

 

[Technonut]

No mention of Sidewinder Computers ? Great service, excellent Reseller Ratings....

 

[John]

TheoPetro, you got me before I edited my post.

 

[Chiller2]

All of the above comments about New Egg are correct but the thing I like the best is their database. It is so easy to find exactly what you need or want on New Egg without wading through a bunch of crap you are not interested in. That is the main reason I chose it over ZipZoomFly when I bought my computer parts.

 

[eXx08]

I like ClubIT's website and they have good reseller ratings.
http://www.resellerratings.com/seller10608.html

Anyone have experience with them?

 

[TheoPetro]

come on people theres gotta be some more.

what about sites for modding?

 

[Synomenon]

Newegg - They're possibly the best (bummer that they switched to UPS)
MWave - Never had any order delays with them
CensusPC - Pretty good. I'd rate them as good as MWave
Performance-PC's - Very responsive customer service and good selection
FrozenCPU - Same comments as Performance-PC's

 

[w00t]

I like newegg why do u say they switched to UPS you can still get fed-ex i pay more for it and always will.

Also they have free shipping! + Good Prices

 

[Ike0069]

Jab-tech and SVC for cooling and mod type items. Both sites have great prices and I really like being able to use USPS for small inexpensive orders.

 

[Phluxed]

Should add a Canadian section for all us Canucks. As a Canuck I'm going to say NCIX.com

 

[TheoPetro]

sounds like a plan to me. who all ships to canada ill add a tag on the ones that do

 

[imported_dakota81]

I agree with all the statements listed in the first post, newegg & monarch are my top two sites.

An addition I'd make is www.justdeals.com - all their products are refurbs, though they're great if I need an older motherboard, like s370, or socket A with PC133 ram. I've had to rma one of the boards I've bought from them, and it was a quick turnaround, customer support does exist.

 

[bamacre]

I like Ewiz, too.

 

[TheoPetro]

any more different ones?

 

[harobikes333]

bump for people building all those computers
