I use both NewEgg and Tigerdirect. Their prices run about the same, but once in a while, one of them has a good deal that is better than the other.

Newegg is the best, but zipzoomfly is pretty good, also.  I never used to like them, because they don't have a real good search.  But, they do have free shipping on most everything, which sets most of the prices below the egg and tigerdirect.

I mainly use ZipZoomFly and Newegg. There are plenty of other good ones out there though. Check out ResellerRatings.

TigerDirect just plain sucks.

I have actually never bought from TigerDirect. I know, you shouldn't really judge something without trying it yourself. However, you hear so many bad things about TigerDirect that you know it sucks. Post on any big computer forum. There will be tons coming in with stories about this terrible vendor.

Just look at ResellerRatings:

TigerDirect has a horrible reputation when it comes to rebates, in particular. Even searching google will give you tons of users complaining about them.

RDRAM is expensive as HELL. That's why. And you HAVE to have it paired -- you can't have one 512 MB stick of RDRAM, it simply won't work. You need another 512 MB stick. And a 512 MB stick costs about $329.00.

Yeah....

Yeah... it's pretty retarded. Sad part is, it REALLY is expensive. That's not companies charging out of their butt, it's just that RDRAM modules have a MUCH higher failure rate. Oh well.

That's true.
Ya know, I sent a rebate to TD, and don't even know if I got it back.  Maybe that's why I thought I didn't have enough rebates coming back at that time. :unsure:
