shopping around for something cheap? be it the new case fan, new monitor or whatever, here are a few tips to make that new PC a bit cheaper.
The basics
the sites we all shop at, generally agreed to have fairly honest pricing and good customer service
These people set the bar...

zipzoomfly
People we've all done buisness with
www.svc.com
sidewindercomputers.com
coolerguys.com
jab-tech.com
xoxide.com
ncix.com for our friends up north
Price comparisions
so ya need to find a price cheap 'n don't want to dig around on all the sites that are out there to find the cheapest? well check these sites out than
Most importantly though is
www.resellerratings.com
found a new site? wonderfull, but make sure the deal is real 'n ur not getting ripped, type in the buisnesses website or name 'n you'll get back a ranking, preferably only buy from those with 8 or above
lastly
Deals of the day
www.woot.com everyday (mon-fri) they put one item up for sale at a price your not likely to beat anywhere. alway fun to check
fatwallet the original site of deals, even fought back a lawsuit so we can get stuff cheap
www.slickdeals.net post the deals of the day, usually 2-3. Most common are coupon's off to some site, usually post the dell coupon codes too.
www.dealnews.net more comprehensive then slickdeals, but leads to havin to dig through more. Lookin for a cheap pendrive though? chances are they've got one listed.

so ya need to find a price cheap 'n don't want to dig around on all the sites that are out there to find the cheapest? well check these sites out than
- pricegrabber.com -type in what you want and it'll dig through quite a few stores and list their prices, including shipping
- froogle.com- googles version, searches them all and lists the results in a similar manner to their search engine
- pricewatch.com just a hogwash of prices setup into basic computer categories- buyer beware though, prices arn't always what advertised 'n check out site before buying from.
