good online parts source?
For years I had been using the same reliable source (tcwo.com) for
inexpensive parts. Unfortunately I think they recently went out of business. I'd appreciate some recommendations for any online parts source for both the high performance enthusiast and for when I just need to assemble a reliable everyday box for a friend or family member. I recently walked through a local CompUSA and about choked on their pricing and crappy parts availability. John |

I'm tired of constantly going to pricewatch.com then resellerratings.com and then back to pricewatch, etc. Newegg is cheap enough for me not to mess with anyone else. I was checking out their offerings and prices and they do seem to be competitive with a good selection, thanks. I'd appreciate any other suggestions if anyone has them. John |

The two I hear most from people is newegg.com and zipzoomfly.com - personally I find newegg has a better interface and search engine but both sites have good prices and often pretty good deals on clearance stuff. |

Makes one wonder why they cant even answer there own phones concerning a purchase. I do hope there not out of business because I too have used them several times through the years and was always happy with them Hank |

We use newegg.com and zipzoomfly.com exclusively. We've built abou
40 machines using components exclusively from both suppliers Newegg.com's return/RMA policy is very good. When you read it i written terms, it's a little scary, like you'll get stuck wit something, but in real practice, they are _very_ good about it. W even ordered 10 of the wrong CPUs one time, opened them, installe them, and when they wouldn't work, Newegg RMA'd the lot and sent u the correct CPUs We haven't used zipzoomfly's return/rma yet, so I don't know how goo they are in that respect. Maybe someone else can comment on that ZipZoomFly has free 2-day UPS, and they have shipped our last 1 orders out same-day, and their pricing is a little lower on the item we usually buy. This is certainly a good trend. NewEgg has fre 3-day Fedex Express Saver on most items that we buy NTF/L ---- Via TrinityNe Lethal Intentions Clan phpBB http://lethalintentions.trinitygaming.net/forum |

For help with a purchase they'll be glad to talk to you. -- Michael Cecil http://home.comcast.net/~macecil/ Really? Well I would sure appreciate it if you would share with me the number that you use when you call and talk to them. The one that I use doesn't seem to be able to find any "live" people or even a voice mail box that isn't already filled to capacity. Thanks in advance, Hank |

I get the distinct feeling that you don't want a number and just want to bitch, but the number I've called in the past is 562-695-5840. -- Michael Cecil http://home.comcast.net/~macecil/ Well I'm sorry if I come across to you as being bitchy. At times I do tend to get that way especially when someone speaks about something as if they know what they are talking about when in all actuality they haven't a clue. Unless they packed up all there stuff and moved clean across the country and then changed there name to ABS, which the operator categorically denies, then your phone number is bogus too. But thanks for trying, Hank |
