System specs question

Pricewatch is garbage in my always correct opinion especcially since it's hard to find specific products, especially less commen ones, and the accuracy and completeness seem to lack. I can't remember what I used to find alot of things for this computer but it was far superior.

I like Pricegrabber myself, but its become obsolete after I discovered fairly cheap prices at MWave - http://www.mwave.com/

most of my system is coming from there. cheap prices, and good stuff. I just don't like the fact that your shopping cart gets emptied after a period of disuse.... unlike Newegg's (which is a good dealer, too. great, infact. I ordered some stuff from them that came today - cheap shipping, and nothing was harmed at all), which stays there indefinitely.

I like MWave/NewEgg combo for hardware, and Directron for the doodads I can't get at those places (mainly cases and lighting... but I'm holding off on lighting)
 
Agreed Newegg is one of, if not the best out there. Newegg's prices are good though sometimes better deals can be found elsewhere, but unless it's huge the quality of service more then makes up for the minimal price difference usually.

for checking on the reputability of the companies, use
http://www.resellerratings.com

my advice is to always check there before ordering from an online vendor, and don't order from any vendor with a rating less then a 7, 6 if you must.  I prefer sticking above the 8 mark.


oh yeah, w00t w00t my computer's parts are all here!  here are the specs:
