I'm doing this poll because I am going to build my own computer for the first time. I need top-quality information on where to get the parts for this enormous project. Thank you so very much for responding.

www.tigerdirect.com

i have not found anyother distributor cheaper than them....i bought my computer (e-Machine) from them and it was CHEAPER than if i were to by the same exact computer from e-Machine them selves

^ have u try actually buyin from tigerdirect seeking? becuause the computer forums iv been say that they are not reliable so i dont wanna buy from them..

speede try to find a computer market...in ur area...they are the cheapest and reiable u can get half of the total price from the same product on retail...

Tiger Direct is EXTREMELY reliable, and EXTREMELY inexpensive. You can get parts off them cheaper than anywhere else other than some deals on E-Bay. They have a magazine/catalog they will send you, as well. I don't know where you heard they're a bad company.

Local computer stores are NOT the cheapest 99% of the time. Simply because so few people know a lot about computers, they overcharge. They're kind of like Dell: Mostly bad products for really high prices, or scams. You are wise to build your own computer.

Using Tiger Direct and E-Bay, my uncle built a very fast PC with a nice case for around $800. The same PC from Dell or Sony, for example, would cost atleast $1600.

im not talkin about a local store, im talkin about a gatherin of comoputer sellers...neways wouldnt u rather buy a cheap product from a a computer fair than one on the net...

the computer im using right now was purchased through tigerdirect, got here in 3 days, and that was standard shipping, and like i said i bought my computer through them for less money than if i went directly to the distributor of my computer...tigerdirect is #1 in my book

i just have a look the price aint too bad....but u should still research ur city for a computer fair thas where the bargainds are..

my sis got a pretty good barebones system from new egg, and the got some good stuff with it, for around 500 it was a pretty kickass system, newegg.com
