    From the comments I have read on this interesting and active forum, I surmise many if not most members buy PC paraphernalia at Amazon and Newegg, as I do. Are there other reliable and reasonably-priced national PC dealers anyone can recommend? I'm generally satisfied with Amazon and Newegg, but other options may be useful on occasion if available.

    Thanks,

    There are Fry's and Microcenter brick and mortar stores that often have great deals on hardware. Depends on where you live though. The only problem for me is that the nearest Fry's is hundreds of miles away and there is sales tax at Microcenter, plus it takes 45 minutes to get there.

    There is also CompUSA, but things really aren't any cheaper than you can find online.

    I work at Microcenter lol. We had the 920 for 179.99 available online. Really depends on the item.

    I use Newegg most of the time, but have also used Amazon and Buy.com for online sales. If I need something fast, I use the local Microcenter.
