Daniel,
I think most folks "shop around" nowadaze.
If you need a specific major component (i.e. a new
hard drive) you might want to try the following
strategy:
1.) Go to http://www.pricewatch.com, locate the
price/vendor list for the component. Maybe
print a page or 2.
2.) Start with the vendor with the lowest price.
Go to http://www.resellerratings.com, look
up the lo-price vendor, see how they rate.
If they have a dubious customer service
record or other problems are indicated,
go back to the pricewatch list, try the
next vendor. Continue until you find a
vendor with a "good record".
If you need minor components (i.e. little cables) you
might want to locate a parts supply house in
your area. Try the yellow pages.
Hope this helps ...
David
