Did you check newegg Veenee?
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2005 10:33 am
yea I did, also checked pricewatch as well. I could save some $$ by buying one piece here and another there, but to be honest it was worth the extra $15 (which was the difference between the two methods), to get it all in one shot.
And I have a pretty good reationship and goods experiences with Tigerdirect so I will stick with they.
Now I jsut have to wait for payday so I can order this schtuph

I've never used Tiger, I've always used newegg. The prices on Tiger look pretty damn good, how's the return service and such?

I'm running my system with a 350 watt power supply with no troubles at all.
That is with the three built in case fans my mobo/case came with.

tigerdirect can be awesome
the one thing to watch out for tho, is most of their business is refurb, open box, and overstocks, and it's not always labelled as clearly as it could be
that being said
i've ordered from them about 10 times, and had to return 2 items
both times they paid for return shipping
the new item took a bit to arrive, but again, they paid all the shipping, and did it pretty much no questions asked

Ya I have specifically bought refurb stuff there. I got a deal on my digi camera that way, saved myself about a hundred bucks and I have had no problems with it in any way. In fact I haven't had to return anything to them, so I can't comment on the return service.
The only problem that I have with Tiger is about 85% of their stuff is rebates which is a bit of a hassle to get the papers send them in etc. sometimes those advertised prices suck you in then the final bill comes up and BAM it is ALOT more than you thought, but you got rebates for $150 to collect. It all works out in the end and you still save money but you have to go thru a bit of hassle to get the deal. That and I just hate throwing down cash and not having it in my hand at that moment (instant gratification yo) They dont subtract it from your account until the item ships, but then you have to wait a bit more for it to arrive. This is common to all internet shopping, but my id isn't down with that whole prolonged gratification thing.
