I have been very happy with both CDW and Insight for general PC stuff. They're both very highly recommended (by me). Bason is where I usually get hard drives: http://www.basoncomputer.com/. I buy a lot of memory from The Chip Merchant: http://www.thechipmerchant.com/. They also have good prices on CPUs, and sell boxed CPUs if you like a little more warranty and the warm fuzzies that your chip is genuinely marked (though I trust them enough to sell me correctly marked chips unboxed). TC is a good place to go for motherboards, with the limited experience I've had. Do NOT buy from Aberdeen -- they're nice and all, but it takes two months to get service for defective parts, many times. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
