Mostly it is just know what you want, or need. Then look around for what is out there. There are many deals to be had on this "interwebs" but just like in real life, if it looks to good to be true it probably is. Also as for Ebay if you look around you will figure out who is real and who isn't. Just think of it like a Farmers market the more legit they look and the happier the people are around it then the better odds it is a good place.

I have a friend who got a quad core with 8GB of RAM on the motherboard for 300$.
>_>
Then they bought a 512mb - 1GB video card for 80$ and popped that on there.
That's better than my computer, and I built mine from scratch. Cost me close to a 1000

I've found cost-co to be astoundingly expensive frankly for some items. So I gave up on them. Oh, well.

NewEgg, and Tigerdirect is where I got literally EVERY part for my new comp.

EPIC FAIL! OHNOES!

Pc came doa. Luckily it's a power seller with a 99.8 positive rating so they'll probably make good.

Damn, and I really wanted a new one!

OH WOW! They responded already! At this time of night. I'm very impressed. No wonder they are POWER SELLERS! Glad I didn't go on a drinking binge over it.
