Hardware PC Sites

[MaXiMuZZZ]

Copy/Paste from my similar thread on AFT:

Well, a lot of people always asks me which sites and online-shops are the best, and most reliable.

There are a Bunch of sites about hardware, but they are not always good or effective. I´m making a list of these good sites, and i will keep this list updated.


If you are bored, just take a look around!

*There is a software sites list, i posted them in Brighton´s thread, don´t want to get in problems(Link! (http://forums.cncden.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=71090) ). :D

If you know a good and useful site, please tell me and I´ll add it to the list.

Fiu, long typo

[bringonts2]

I'll have to quote this when I post my follow up thread to "Free Files that..." I won't give the name, only that it's coming soon.

EDIT: Oh yeah, it's Bringonts not brighton or bringongenerals2 (in future it maybe Bonts2 :evil: ). It stands for bring on ts 2 Mr.! :p :D

[Kravvitz]

Can a mod stickey this please?

What about http://www.newegg.com/ ?

[MaXiMuZZZ]

Yup, added it to the start post.

Would be good if it can be stickied. :)

[ItalianPenguin]

If you're from America, the only two sites you'll ever need are:

http://www.tomshardware.com <-----for reviews on your stuff
http://www.newegg.com <-----to buy your stuff

You can't go wrong that way.

[MaXiMuZZZ]

They are both in the links section. And btw, Newegg has a lot, but not all. No watercooling ie.

i´m adding more links ATM, and put the most important one in bold.

[Treacherous M]

www.3dgameman.com for the video reviews! ;)

[MaXiMuZZZ]

Thx TM. Any other links?

i´m making/changing a reviews section too.

Could this be stickied if needed plz?

[Kravvitz]

i´m adding more links IMO, and put the most important one in bold.

IMO? It often means "in my opinion", but that doesn't make sense the way you used it.

Bold? I don't see anything bold.

[MaXiMuZZZ]

Bold? not yet, i´m searching and doesn´t have a lot of time these days... I´ll do and add if I have enough time. feel free to find interesting links. ;)

[The Enforcer]

another online retailer

http://www.aria.co.uk

[Wrecking Crew]

Shame on you! Have you forgotten our own Sufian's site? > http://www.hardwaregeeks.com/

[bringonts2]

Since this is a hardware related link I'll go ahead and post it. Head over to http://www.circuitcity.com/detail.jsp?c=1&b=g&u=c&catoid=-10263&qp=0420032981681&oid=71459&m=0 they have a Western Digital 120gig HD, which initially costs $120. However, there is an $80 rebate, which means that you only pay $40! I'm gonna get one next week, even though I'm not in extreme need. You can't really pass up $40.

[MaXiMuZZZ]

W0w that is indeed a nice Offer! r u sure there is a rebate? ;)

I have enough stuff to buy in the coming weeks, i´m preparing another mod... :D about the hdd, I´m going for an extra WD Raptor 32/74GB 10k S-ATA. :D Oh, and i´m getting a watercooling probably....


Edit: "Not Available for Online Purchase"... :wtf:

[bringonts2]

Yeah I don't think you can buy it online because they wouldn't send you a physical reciept. They'd probably have to email you the reciept, and since the rebate is along with the reciept a lot of times, they probably don't want anyone printing out multiple copies of it or something of that nature. Luckily, there is a Circuit City nearby :D I'm probably going to go pick one up sometime this week. I may buy two and then sell the other one online.

[MaXiMuZZZ]

if u buy 3, i´ll might buy one from you, for 50$. :D

[bringonts2]

I would've done that for you if they hadn't of discontinued the rebate. 50!!! More like 74.99!

[MaXiMuZZZ]

ne one has another nice site to add? :p

[bringonts2]

http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4008252

...PWNED!!!

[MaXiMuZZZ]

Nice... but tell me, did u ever bought on that site? cause it´s the 3th link with rebates etc, but how does it work? i´m suspicious about it lol.

[bringonts2]

I bought both the Netgear router and the 200GB HDD. It's a mail-in rebate. You just buy the product, then you click on the rebate link and print it out. Then when you get your product you just mail in the rebate form and UPC barcode and you'll get a check. It's just like any other kind of mail-in rebate.

[drgn]

... Soon to be, TechVolution.freedomstudios.net

[bringonts2]

Is that the name of the site that's being created? :D
