Ok besides newegg and compusa what other sites do you use to buy computer hardware? Looking at upgrading. Would only need barebones. Not a heavy gamer. Dont need anything HIGH END. Looking at spending 300-400

    Newegg and newegg only. I had a computer repair business(still kinda do), and when I could I went to newegg unless I needed a part now! So bare bones means a case, PS MB, Ram, Proc, and video card?
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Are you looking to avoid C-USA, and NewEgg, or are juist looking for other options?
    CompUSA has some great pakage deals from time to time.

    Newegg is fantastic in pricing, customer service and shipping time. I use them almost exclusively. They get my vote!

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    tigerdirect.com also has some stuff, but I also recommend newegg. They consistently had better prices, better shipping options, and their customer service seems to be really good! That is where I bought everything to build my computer from a few years ago.

    Good luck!
    I know just enough to be dangerous, but don't tell my wife, she thinks I'm a genius. :D

    Pioneer VSX-816
    Monitor 40's - fronts, bi-amped
    Monitor 30's - surrounds
    CS1 - center
    PSW10 - I'll let you guess
    Blue Jeans Cable - speaker cable
    Daewoo 27 incher - one step up from a console
    Sony Progressive scan DVD
    XBOX

    SOPA since 2008
    Here's my stuff.

    Hey, check out the Aspire Revo (due out May 18th). Very decent PC for $299. 1080p output through HDMI if needed, and can run a bevy of games (not at highest quality, but still good).

    I usually use Newegg but also check with http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Home.jsp

    The site below is also great but I usually use them for just cases. All 3 have good prices, ship fast, and have great customer service if anything goes wrong.

    Sony 60'' SXRD 1080p
    Amp = Carver AV-705THX 5-Channel
    Processor = NAD T747
    Panasonic BD35 Blu-Ray
    Main = SDA-1C Studio with RD0s, spikes, XO rebuild, rings, I/C upgrade
    Center=Polk CS10, Surround = Athena Dipoles, Sub= Boston 12HO
    Music/Video Streaming = Netgear NEO550
    TT = Audio Technica
