I use Amazon because they allow returns within a month with pretty much no questions asked.

They also give me a discount if the item comes without a seal (have to contact the reps).

Can sometimes find some good deals on Amazon warehouse.

I don't have a microcenter near, but everyone who can go to one has nothing but super positive thoughts on them.. they always have crazy deals like buy a CPU get ram for free and those are like $150+ ram kits. sometimes they will have cpu mobo and ram listed at just the cpu msrp price. its crazy.


so basically I just deal with amazon only because of easy returns.. i get my money back almost instantly after returning vs newegg taking like 2 weeks after they receive the product back.

Newegg and Frys were the go-to back in the day. Newegg really lost their appeal over the years, and Fry's isn't even in business anymore. So I guess Microcenter? I usually buy most of my tech chit off Amazon it seems.

Newegg used to be the shiznit back in the day srs

I will still order from there from time to time. One place I will never order from is TigerDirect - someone I know got fukking scammed, because they signed the guy up for some bull shiit phone service when he placed an order for some parts. Raged on them hard, threatened with lawsuit and they undid their error real fast.
