    This place has got the best prices I've found. They're located here in Tampa, and they're always slammed with people.

    Not quite NewEgg.com (the standard for comparison), but they have an excellent customer rating on reselleratings.com.

    Probably a good alternative for us East Coasters who can't stand the Fed Ex Saver shipping times from New Egg's Cali location.

    On second thought, scratch my comments. I just did some comparison shopping on about 5 common order items (other than advertised specials), and TCWO's prices were consistently 10-20% higher. Plus they dont seem to have the selection I'm used to with newegg.

    I would never consider any other source for hardware other than newegg. I've tried several, been burnt and always go back to newegg, wishing I'd gone with them the first time.

    I've bought from most named. If your shopping go here www.pricegrabber.com it shows the prices from all of the above. One site shows all.

    For what it is worth, CompUSA has begun offering an extended warranty for a couple of years that is basically 10% of the purchase price. The good news is that you get to return the hardware for a store credit - no questions asked. So basically for 10% extra you can upgrade whatever you want every few years.

    Locally

    There is a good local place (Ameritech Distribution) that has good prices. If you are a business, or can claim to be one, you can save even more.

    My boss just got a 19 inch Viewsonic flat screen monitor for under $600. I've purchased a crap load of stuff from there and made out like a bandit.
