Good Idea Thanx..

WWW.SVC.COM for sure:)

www.bigfootcomputers.com for the Canadian people

www.excaliberpc.com :p

and great idea, taz!:D

www.thinkgeek.com

haven't actually ordered from here...but they've got good prices and a friend of mine recommends it.

I think at the top of the list should be www.resellerratings.com...for obvious reasons:)

www.allstarshop.com
www.buyxg.com
www.zipzoomfly.com
www.casecooler.com

i haven't bought anything from xoxide but i've heard of a few ppl that have bought some wire sleeving from there.

www.xoxide.com

I have several successful orders with KDComputers but since I found svc I haven't used them or anyone else really for modding gear

Since jumping into the WC pool, (pun intended), I have found these two sites exceptional and highly recommend them:

Cooltechnica

D-Tek Customs


Great ideer, TAZ.

n/m...well, yeah...how discriminating are we being before adding a site to the list? i'm sure some people may have had a bad dealing with any company mentioned already, so what standards are we using to filter the list? I am personally biased against buyxtremegear(buyxg), but someone else might love them...how will you decide taz and others?:confused:

Well for what its worth....I ordered a Radeon 9700 Pro and Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 speakers from one of the aforementioned companies above and both items had to be sent back to the manufacturers for exchange due to problems with proper function. During that 3-4 week period every trip to Best Buys was a frustrating experience seeing boxes of those items in stock for only 20-40$ more. I could've been gaming during that period and has made me a little more cautious about ordering from discounters. I understand that these things happen, just wanted to throw in my .02cts!!

newegg.com and svc.com for their service/prices and quick processing/shipping.

mwave.com because I can just pick up my stuff from their warehouse :D

We won't decide, thats for the consumer. We added the Be Advised to check Resellerratings but thats up to the consumer. I only wanted to provide a thread to list Online Stores that you have had good experiences with. Good Luck and Purchase Wisely is my advice..:)

You can get just about anything from them. Metals, plastics, tools, anything for the seurious modder.

well, www.allelectronics.com always has a TON of stuff. They buy surplus and sell it off bit by bit. Good for any sort of electronic supplies and other misc junk.

And I think that if it's a general consensus that a place is horrible, it should be removed from the list. what if someone mentions colorcases? I think that's a hanging offense in most parts of the world.

TAZ, one suggestion, are you going to put all the links eventually into one list at the beginning? I really feel this would be the best thing, so that the potential shopper doesn't have to scroll through pages of posts with one or two suggestions each. I just think it would be easier and a lot more efficient if this were done. Thanks.:p

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good idea.

as always:
BestBuy.com
Staples.com
CircuitCity.com

I was going to suggest Buy.com but I can't seem to get their site to work. It is more of a retail store like BestBuy, but they have great prices and good retail boxed products.

The first two have horrible reseller ratings (2.31 and 5.68, respectively). I would suggest taking them down.

The majority of retail chain stores seem to have low reseller ratings. Most of the time it's because the shipping is really slow. So if shipping is a concern you could just opt to pick it up in the store instead of having it delivered.

1coolpc.com is an incredible site. they are ranked highly (top ten) on reseller ratings.

www.mwave.com

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that...or has someone? I didn't see it in the big list. :confused:

www.frozenpc.com

They make awsome laser etched windows. :)
