I used to get most of my parts from here:

But I'm not building PCs anymore. I'm telling most people to get a Dell. Just about the same price with a 3 year warranty. And I don't have to fix them when they break. No more phone calls at night.

best thing then would be to grab a computeredge magazine with the local vendors. its a weekly zine with all our local vendors specials and stuff for you out of towners.

If you want to shop online, I use these two and both have good prices & fast shipping!

GameVe (http://www.gameve.com/gve/default.aspx) its in Cal right by where you live so you'll get real fast shipping :)

Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/) what can I say other than it may be the best online store in the USA ;)

Biker if I were you I'd do as phish suggest, if you have problems with things it gets to be a drag returning stuff you bought online.....

Newegg is also my favorite online store. and fastgame the canon printer is working like a charm printed some 4x6 photos and I cant tell the difference from a photolab print. The camera I got is only 2m pixel but for 4x6 prints it works great.
