I built a new computer a year ago by just jumping around to the main online shopping giants (like newegg, ncix, mwave, frys, etc etc), but really couldn't find a good place to compare prices. It took a lot of time to track each website and pricing for computer components I wanted. newegg is a good default, but I have found that when you are putting a whole system together you can save a couple hundred bucks by buying stuff from different websites.
I will be building two new computers in the next week or so, and wanted to know what would be a good place to search for bargains. I used to use pricewatch, but it seems like they have fallen off the cliff as far as price comparisons. techbargains seems to be fairly useful, but you have to get lucky because it doesn't really compare current prices if there isn't a super deal out there (and often they only show expired deals). I use slickdeals to see if there are any great prices, but again it's not really comparing prices - just shows you if something is selling for a great price. I have tried using pricegrabber, but often I run across places they don't list which have better prices.
Resellerratings still seems to be useful for checking on dealer ratings.
So my tech buddies, what do you use to shop for prices on specific computer components?
