I've been a Newegg fan for the last year or so. I live close enough to them
that 3 day shipping almost always arrives at my place of work the next day,
and it's hard to beat that.
I normally shop for things on Newegg first, then check the price against
Pricewatch.com. From my experience, old memory is the only thing I see
better prices for, and only in odd cases is it significantly cheaper (20%
ore more). When I see a much better price, I give the random vendor listed
on Pricewatch a chance. So far, I've had good luck with these odd vendors,
but the week or two lag in delivery usually has me wishing I just paid a
little more and got it from newegg.
