Re: [PLUG] Computer Case recommendations?
|
I second the newegg.com recommendation, I've bought several items from
them and it's always been at a good price and arrived promptly. Once
an external hard drive enclosure arrived DOA, but returning it for an
exchange was quite painless. Other than that, I've never had any
trouble and they've got a wide variety of products.

newegg.com is a good place to buy stuff online, they usually have
pretty good prices. You can almost always find harddrives/ram/monitors
on sale by watching slickdeals or similar.
Thanks,
