(Hope this is in the right section, couldn't find one more appropriate)

Don't get me wrong, I'm a total whore for newegg, even my girlfriend is jealous, but what do I do when the almighty does not have something I need? I've looked at Monarchcomputer.com, but can I trust them? Normally when I need something for my computers I go to newegg.com for the hardware, and frozencpu for the mods, with an occassional snoop around xoxide.com or mountainmods.com.

So what do you intelligent guys think? How is monarchcomputer.com, and do you have any other suggestions?
 
Monarch has always serviced me well. ZipZoomFly, ClubIT, are both advertisers of ours that I think do a good job as well.
 
Damn, I was going to say that monarch have been good to me and my biddy, but I don't think that'll carry as much weight as Kyle's recommendation.

 
Well that does it, Monarch is going down on my list of trusted places to buy stuff.
 
monarch is great. free shipping on lots of items, competitive pricing and no sales tax for me :D
zzf gave me a problem once and i havent gone back to them
frozen is good
xoxide is good
i was seriously considering allstarshop for a video card and not pay tax

i have seen forums where a monarch rep is present to address issues and questions
 
ZZF is the first place I look, free 2nd day FedEx shipping, and they actually know how to properly package sstuff, especially OEM hard drives. This is all after you realize the item is cheaper there to begin with :cool:
 
Tiger Direct has been good to me. Great pricing, but the support can be a little off.

I just ordered something from there last week and I had it in 2 days with ground shipping. That warehouse upgrade really sped things up. The only thing that sucks about em is that they only offer UPS.

The only bad experiance I've had with buying comp. parts is from ZZF. I'll never go back. I almost got screwed outa my $400 vid card...... And I've made plenty of orders, 17 reviews on resellerratings.com from computer purchases.
 
The usuals I see are ZZF, MWave, Xoxide, FrozenCPU and Monarch, with a few mentions for eWiz. ClubIT is also good, from what I hear.
 
Thanks for all the feedback guys, I'll be sure to add all these to my bookmarks.
 
zipzoomfly almost always has the best prices on anandtech's RTPE for most of the big components. They give free 2nd day for almost everything, plus a bunch of free little tidbits that come along with large purchases. I personally dont get why more people use these guys over newegg.
