newegg is my fav online electronics retailer and most geeks' favorite as well. and bhphotovideo for camera gear.

i shop almost exclusively at newegg myself, but i did not encounter any problems returning a quadcore and motherboard to tigerdirect.

i've read a lot of complaints about tigerdirect, even though i've bought one or two things from them and had no problems.

however, you really can't go wrong with newegg. they are amazing.

I have only had good experiences with tigerdirect. Never a problem with what I bought and the one time I wanted to return an item, which was actually refurbished (I knew that when I bought it) and in theory non returnable but only exchangeable for the same item, they let me return it without a problem.

Fatwallet.com is an online community, which has a forum section just like tranceaddict.com to discuss current DEALS and COUPONS... it is not an actual store where u can purchase something from the site, but it is indeed a very good place to find deals!

Trin, I suggest you don't buy TV from online website, my primary concern is on the shipping... sometimes they don't cover the insurance, and I'm not too sure about the shipping and handling policy. It's just not worth the risk of saving $200-$300 online, but let's say the TV will break in 3 months and you'd have to ship it back to get it repaired.. I'd save the hustle and buy a TV from a safer and trusted source (i.e. BestBuy), but that's IMO

That was my main concern too Alvin. I don't like Best Buy. I'd rather just go to Costco.

Thanks guys! Now who wants to pitch in and buy me a 46" flat screen TV?

If you're patient, just troll woot.com . They sell random stuff, but I got my TV from them (A 37" Westinghouse), and I love it! Plus the shipping is $5 for all their items...Plus, since you're not in Texas, there's no sales tax!
