    but then i figured, to someone who knows absolutely nothing about cars, you ask if Ferrari is a super car, they might be like huh?

    that being said, i've spent easily over 4k myself there... love em, only ever one customer service hangup, but in the end they took care of me.

    however, are you going to be building? if so, do you have a friend that knows computers well enough to choose and assemble parts? or do you? because with the question about newegg, it arises a concern. please note i am only trying to be constructive with saying this, and i always recommend building your own system. just look up DIY info, and ask if you have questions on here, this is one of the most helpful forums on the web.

    YES!

    You'll meet very few other forums that have as helpful as these guys.

    (although, I do know another forum that's also got great technicians, especially with older computer stuff.)
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    True but most of the good deals are instore only.

    I look for major components on Amazon to see if I can get a better deal. Some times you can. For parts like fans and Watercooling I buy from Performance-PCs or FrozenCPU.

    They are reliable, but on a customer service level they are a shadow of what they once were. Shipping is a tossup. You may either get a tiny item shipped in a huge box (excess), or a hard drive tossed in a box half full with peanuts.

    They lost the personal touch they used to have before they became a huge business, but for the most part are just as reliable as any other big name etailer.

    I still love em and use them all the time. I just added it up. I've spent $8686 since Oct 2004. Newegg is pretty much awesome. Holy crap though, that's nearly $1000 a year. A fair amount of that is builds for other people though, so it's not all my money. Otherwise I should really have a much nicer computer than I do now. $1000 a year buys a lot of computer.
