Have you bought anything from those places ?
 
Tigerdirect is great. I live right by the main offices in miami and they are starting to open up stores like compusa. They got great deals.
 
No, I am in malaysia, those websites are good for me to follow up with the latest market trend of computer hardwares.
If one day i migrated to US (I plan to), definitely i will buy from one of the best websites.
 
I do a lot of shopping with Tigerdirect, I've had a lot of luck with them.

I ususally check price trends at

pricewatch.com

I like that they have a clean, uncluttered, down-to-business website. You can check out the various companies' customer ratings, compare prices and decide if you want to try them.

I've also used Amazon and ebay for computer parts.
 
I love new egg, don't really need any other site. Pricewatch was my first love however.

I've never purchased anything from these people, but they've got some insane deals:

www.surplusgeeks.com
