Sites to help users find good deals on computer parts.

This was originally just for a Canadian site I found but I thought I would expand on it a little.

These are links to sites that are specifically designed to help users find good deals. Feel free to post any places you might have found and I will update the list. Generally it is about computers but it can be about anything under the sun.

Thought I would give it a bump for the front page since I posted this just after the forum came back up yesterday.

The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

Whoa mama. Who needs a new friend?

Probably one per employee but damn, you could sell that kit on Ebay for more then $199USD. I wonder how many are already on there.

ARG.....I used to work at office depot. But that's alright I knew about those kinds of things when I worked there. If you work for any of those companies, all you have to do is go to the manufactures website and do an online class thingy to brighten up on there products. Eventually you will rack up enough points that are readeamable for pretty much any item.

Here are the top 7 that I use ranked in order of relevance of usefulness to me. The bottom 3 are useful, but suck sometimes as to their relevance to the search. They work so much better when something is commonly in stock.

No, because those sites aren't geared towards finding the cheapest price on a product across all retailers.
