So you build your own computer
 

Where you buy your components. Your local computer shop or on the web.

This is the cheapest I've found so far. http://www.computersupersale.com

Maybe there is better? :glugglug

Usually locally so I don't have to wait for them to arrive

The only thing worse then waiting for new toys or parts for your toys is having a slow internet connection

Hmm.. Makes me wonder when they say "Bareborn Special" :)

Tiger direct has some pretty nice deals and pcshoppingplanet has all sorts of neato stuff...

The local fry's electronics! I was fucking amazed the first time i walked into this store to find aisles of motherboards :-) mwave.com is good too.

i asked the local computer shop how much for a nic card they said $45

it was the same one compusa sold for $20

buy online and get the best deals
