    Since I have decided never to go to Fry's again, I need to find an online store to buy my computer parts. There are no good stores in my area that are not trying to rip people off so I am looking for alternatives online. I know about newegg but are there any other suggestions. I want reasonable shipping cost, an easy return policy, and most importantly good prices. If I don't find a place I guess I will have to just buy systems going forward.

    cnet.com does a ton of reviews, and they usually have a list of places to buy the products. You will see certain retailers pop up over and over. I usually go with newegg.

    Good luck!

    I've never had a bad experience with NewEgg. They're great.

    I haven't worked with newegg.com, but I have never had a bad experience with tigerdirect.com.

    Besides New Egg and Tiger Direct, I've done business with ZipZoomFly a couple times. They used to have pretty good shipping, I don't know about now.

    TigerDirect had every single component I needed to build a system last year, and a good number of choices in each area. Software too.
    Other places might have lower prices on given items, but much fewer options.

    I normally use NewEgg, too. If I want the absolute lowest price, I go to pricewatch.com.

    Ditto. Usually pretty fast shipping too.
