Which Vendors Do You Trust For PC Parts?
CaryTheSane writes "After six years, it's finally time for my old Pentium 4 to retire to web browsing duties, and I want a new gaming PC. I'd like to build my own this time, and I've scoped out most of the parts I want for a moderately high-end system. Which online vendors have you used before that you trust for parts? I've dealt with NewEgg, and I like them, but I live in Tennessee, a state in which they have a presence. Unfortunately, this means they have to hit me up for 9.5% sales tax. That really eats into my system build budget, so I'm looking for alternatives. I'd like to use the fewest number of vendors (preferably only one), so that all the parts arrive at the same time and I don't have one part's 30-day return policy run out while I'm waiting for parts from another vendor to show up. So, which reliable and economical parts vendors do you recommend?"
Conversely, are there any you'd recommend avoiding?

There is this guy I know who delevers everything I ask. Prices are good. It is just a bitch to drive down to the docks and for some odd reason he only takes cash in small bills in a brown paperbag.
He is a wise guy and explained that an insurance also would be great and he is right. I haven't been beaten up since I took that insurance. A good fellow, always talking about his family and such.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
And definitely accessible to an English speaker in Tennesee. Definitely.
0.99 cents, holy jezus, no wonder those RIAA guys are crying about artists not getting a fair price.

9.5 in TN? Holy crap you need to start voting democrat.
He is looking to avoid local stores so he can illegally circumvent paying sales tax.
No, MIR refers to parts that have been certified by the Russian space program for use in space station installations.

Just a clarification to all my American friends out there: In English English, fag means cigarette. The previous poster is probably not involved in human trafficking.
I just can't get my brothers and father to believe that the Frys in Las Vegas not only has an english speaking staff, but also helpful and informed folks in the aisles.
Just in case you think it's not a real Fry's, it does indeed have the trademark nearly impossible to exit parking lot.

MIR means parts that have fallen off of a Russian space station, survived reentry and have been "refurbished" for retail sales.
