Where Do You Buy Your Computer Stuff?

Amazon, newegg, ncix, whichever site has it the cheapest.

I use pcpartpicker.com to find the lowest price among them.

Exactly what I do.  I trust all of them and just look at the three and take the one that has the best price or deal.

Canada Computers since it's right near my place, but often online has better pricing so I use NCIX (though the boxes newegg ships in are pretty cool)

Always been wary of ebay for some reason!

I buy most of computer stuff from NCIX Canada but quite often I price match from other places.  I did buy something from Newegg Canada recently though but I was given a $20 or $25 gift card free so it made it easier to shop there at that time.  As for buying keyboards the last two I bought were from Walmart and were ONN brand keyboards which quite frankly are junk.  I paid $9.99 for each.  For media drives I think I bought all mine from local people on the cheap and they were brand new drives.  In regards to my last 2 display purchases I bought a 40" Samsung 1080p tv from The Brick that definitely is a better gaming monitor than a tv.  I don't know why but it just is that way.  The second display is a Samsung monitor that is 1080p and is of the smaller variety in terms of screen size and was bought at Staples.  As for computer games I buy them online at GMG, Steam, Direct2Play, GameFly, GamersGate and Humble Bundle.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Same here, I get pretty much all my stuff from Canada Computers. I live pretty much right next to one. 

If I can't get anything from Canada Computers I order it from NCIX when there's a shipping promo.

Amazon and Newegg.  That might change though with the internet becoming taxed in the US.  It might be worth the drive to microcenter or fry's if tax is charged at checkout.

I live in Seattle WA, and I SHOP online at NCIX, amazon, newegg, best buy, and a few local stores. I almost always buy from Newegg because they have the best price when they give free shipping.

As someone from New Zealand, I purchase as much as I can from Computer Lounge. Otherwise, Playtech or PB Tech.

I'm lucky enough to live right across an NCIX store, and less than 10 min. away from Canada Computers.

 

So if I need anything, and NCIX has it, I just price-match the cheapest price I can find online (mostly via shopbot.ca), and do an in-store pick-up at NCIX. No shipping costs!

 

If they don't have it, I look at Canada Computers next, followed by Amazon (super saver shipping is ok too). I tend to avoid newegg and tigerdirect because of the shipping costs.

Here in the Netherlands, we have a site called tweakers.net. Here can you look for the products you want and look for the cheapest retailer.

I usually order from Afuture.nl because they are quite cheap and have a great service.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!
