    Is there a second 'NEWEGG.COM'?

     
    When shopping for things i only know two sites. NEwegg.com, where i know its reliable or pricewatch.com where its hard to buy from some sites because the web design looks like it was made by a middle school blogger and its hard to believe they are reliable.

    MY two question are: is it safe to buy from sites at pricewatch that dont have a very profesional look; and is there another site like newegg which is know to have good selection, prices, and most improtanly reliability?

    Before you purchase anything from any of the sites listed on pricewatch, check with www.resellerratings.com and see what kind of reviews they have.

    Haiduz,

    My two sites are www.tcwo.com and www.newegg.com

    Both are great in my opinion. TCWO has amazing shipping, $6.95 for everything ...

    All excellent places to 'shop'
    I would add that while newegg is my first choice for most of my needs, I do not buy fans, heatsinks, cables or other smaller items there due to there expensive shipping on said items.
    joker_927 mentioned SVC which I do use for the smaller items and they are IMO great. Good pricing as well.
    I'll add Nexfan as well as they have decent pricing.

    Ditto. Sometimes their prices are better than NewEgg's.

    Shipping...HA!!! Who need it????

    I can drive to TCWO in @ 4 minutes, as long as it's not during rush hour!

    (Regrettably, I do pay 8% tax, though...)

    An amazing store to have in your back yard!

    I heard www.zipzoomfly.com is good, but nothing is better than newegg (especially because they don't charge tax for my state and many other states)

    No one said tigerdirect?? Well, I havn't bought anything from them, but I have friends who have gotten good deals from them.
    I am still a NewEgg man, it's hard to beat.

    Heard too many problems with TigerDirect, so I've avoided them

    I've also used SVC, Case-Mod, and Directron for power supplies, heatsinks, and fans.
