Most of my stuff is Newegg. They ship promptly and everything that I got from them works well.

I have, not bad....used to be egghead.com I think, then they had a security breach of some sort and changed names.

Ordered quite a few parts from here too in the past, prices where right and shipping was fast:

Newegg isn't the rock-bottom cheapest, but it's reasonable and extremely reliable.

I buy most computer stuff from newegg. It's great. I've built my own computer, about 10 or so friends computers... random upgrades... my laptop bag (best price... beat everyone else by 15 bucks)... some general electronics.

I have never had any problem with them. Actually I did get a Windows XP disk that was warped, but they exchanged it no problem.

It's usually too much effort to find a cheaper price, and then research a company to see if they are reliable.

The only issue I have, is that sometimes I think they overcharge for shipping. Usually it's just crappy little stuff that they'll nickel and dime you on... it's not a big deal usually... but it helps to be aware of the shipping costs.

Do not worry, newegg's great.

I literally just finished ordering parts to build a new server from NewEgg. I've probably ordered over $25K in parts from them over the last few years.

My only specific recommendation is to spring for the FedEx Express Saver shipping over the UPS.

Great. Probably dropped 5k with them over the years. Never had a problem with them. But yeah would like to see a cheaper way to ship. But then after I order, I'm practicly at the door drooling for the stuff and it doesn't disappoint. If they ship from the Jersey warehouse, it staggers me how fast it gets here.
