Don't forget about Frigid North. They're usually pretty competitive on
their CPU & MB prices.
I agree with Tom on the shopping around. Frigid North, ACB, SpeedNet, PC
LAN'd are my usual places. Although I have been known to also goto Computer
Renaissance, CustomCPU, and Alaska Used Computers.
I also agree that KompUSSR is pretty competitive with their prices and have
a big selection, but their customer service and general overall experience
leaves something to be desired.
