Where to buy CPU, Ram, etc etc

[Nate1492]

Not really a specific question...

I currently use newegg and pricewatch etc...

Ok... I KNOW what I'm doing, I am just worried about OEM...

I just saw an athlon MP 1800 for 219 on pricewatch.. (thats 40 cheaper then the next one... saves me 80 bucks... aka about 1300 instead of 1400 ... good thing...


BUT I want THE BEST chip I can get period... I'm OC/n my Mps as far as superglue, silver alloy and tape will let me take my MPs... I don't want some f@#% chip that will only do 1.6 ghz.... I wanna push 1.8-2.0 (YES water cooled, I'm not an idiot...)

Also... RAM... Crucial? Kingmax? Corsair? Micron? Nanya? Kommax?

I am going to add my own heat spreader+heatsink and fan on my ram... (I know what I'm doing again) I just wanna get the best PC 2100 money can buy (it MUST be registerred ECC ram in order to work in the Tyan... So we gotta stick with few options here, no pc2700 fancy dancy 5 ns for me till I upgrade mobo hehe...

I know where I'm getting my case... mobo... (unless there is a better mobo then the tyan mpx for dual AMD MPs)...

Don't even say intel, I will slit my wrists.... They are the devil I swear...

Anyway... Input!

Sometimes, Fry's Electronics store will have the XP combo (CPU and Mobo) sales every weeks. They offer a good price though, even cheaper than you can get from any other places. You can try to look at their web site, but I'm not too sure if the offer will be carried on their site or not.
