Didn't you look at my other rig? 3 monitors. I don't use 2... 3 for the win. This is just for another room in my house. If I bought like 3, that would be intense. Sadly I can't afford it. lol

But boy.. if I could :D

when i go shopping for parts it depends on what i need, and how soon i need it

if its a basic peripheral or user-changeable item like RAM or HDD or a mouse or keyboard and i need it now, i hit up staples then wal-mart locally, if i dont need it now, i search the web for the best deal and order it from their

if its something more technical, there are a couple local PC repair shops that actually keep a pretty good inventory of stuff like processors, motherboards, etc so i go to them, and they are nice people too.

just shopping around though, i frequently check Tiger Direct and newegg online and best buy and circuit city whenever i am in lafayette.

I usually get my stuff from newegg.com, but from time to time i buy them from zipzoomfly

Let's see.

Canada Computer co.
Tiger Direct
Factory Direct

We have a local comp shop in our area we get most parts from, if not, its ordered online (always check pricewatch.com too).

Pricewatch seems to be changing, i hate them last time due to listing low pricing but hamer me on shipping cost

I always get my parts from newegg, but I'll also get my parts in other places too. I do a little computer work on the side, and I have a business/retail license, so I'm able to get in with some of the distributors. So sometimes I'll order through them, but they are not always the best on price unless you order in bulk. For single items, newegg rocks, but for orders in bulk items, then the distributors.
