Marshall,
Here are a few companies with good prices that I have dealt
with, and found to be reliable (this is by no means an
all-inclusive list):
www.zbuy.com - hard drives, well priced, free shipping
www.pcinfinity.net - very good cases, etc. Prices usually
include reasonable shipping charges.
www.newegg.com - various components, reasonable shipping.
www.accessmicro.com - good prices, shipping a bit high.
Pricewatch (www.pricewatch.com) is an excellent resource, but
carefully check shipping costs, as the best price listed can
sometimes be the worst after shipping is added.
The best advice I can give is to do your homework before you
start shopping. Read reviews, check manufacturers' websites for
specs and know exactly what makes and models of components that
you want. Then shop for the best prices.
Regards,
Joab
