On line computer parts sales
Besides Newegg and Tigerdirect are there other reliable computer parts sales companies? I cannot remember any others.
I lost my custom built desktop during a lightning storm a few weeks back. I have considered a laptop which I could purchase locally but that is not what I want.

Been using both Newegg and Tigerdirect for some time. I believe they are the only two with any good deals. Ebay is a great source, too. I used all three on this last build.
Inquiring minds want to know, what are you building??? Brian

I put mine together from these guys: http://www.cybertronpc.com/
They had great customer service and a quick turnaround time. I went with a gaming type computer due to the extra cooling capacity because I don't have air conditioning in my house, and it can get pretty warm at times. Besides, the blue LED lights behind the clear plexiglass panel look cool.

Today I ordered an i5-6600 Skylake quadcore 3.3 Ghz 6th generation CPU. An Asus mobo Z270 ATX. The unlocked version of the same CPU wouldn't allow updates from MS for Windows 7, plus I won't need to OC anyhow. Also Corsair Vengeance 16GB memory and a Western Digital 250GB SSD for the OS and a a few other things. I have several 500GB hard drives to add the other 'stuff' to. Nothing fancy, I just want at least what I had. I am not a gamer. I just want the best performance that I need for what I am willing to spend. I ordered the parts from Newegg this afternoon. With their $1.99 shipping it will take a week to arrive. When I was young a week was like a lifetime. I am still using my 10" Asus notebook to compute. Kay fusses at me to use her laptop. I can't bring myself to do it with my luck. I no touchie. |

No, DON'T use Kay's laptop... ITS A TRAP! I leave Princess's alone, too, unless there's a major problem. Brian |
