www.googlegear.com was quick with processing my order, and i received my $550+ worth of computer hardware within 1 week (basic UPS ground shipping).
Not too bad considering the item was shipped all the way from CA to NJ (coast to coast) with UPS.

As for their prices, you cant just blindly buy things from them like you can from www.newegg.com
You've gotta look out for some of their prices though; Once in a while, you'll find amazing deals on processors and hard drives on their site, but other times, many of the items they list will be overpriced...

Conclusion: I'd definitely buy from them again if i found a good deal on the hardware they have to offer

Note- I have not yet dealt with their tech support as there has been no need

Darthtanion mentioned coolerguys, and i would just like to say that they have a great operation going on there. They are completely committed to the customer. I live right next door to them (woohoo for me) and i have toured their facility. Everything is high quality, cheap, and they always have new deals every week or so. If you have a chance go right ahead and buy from them.

(Coolerguys if you are reading this im am currently looking for a summer job, i am well groomed, and can reach into small crevices for screws:thumb: )

Thats www.coolerguys.com if ya missed it.

Has anyone ever bought from www.accubyte.com or www.z-buy.com

I am thinking of buying parts for my new PC from there.

Accubyte:
http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1812.html

Z-Buy:
http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2090.html

Accubyte sucks and while Z-Buy has an average rating, the most recent comments are all saying that it's a scam site. I would recommend staying away from both of them. If you're looking for a decent price and shipping costs that don't bend you over backwards, then go shop at Multiwave or Newegg. Both offer similar prices and very good service.

I have built several machines, and only after too much price searching on pricewatch...

I have had really good luck with Newegg, they are always cheap, and ship the stuff really fast. Also, I had a very good experience with Monarch Computer. Crucial is also the only place I buy my memory, and they have been quite helpful as well.

www.newegg.com
www.monarchcomputer.com
www.crucial.com

Just my .02
