Be careful about going for the lowest prices at <A HREF="

http://www.pricewatch.com!&nbsp"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.pricewatch.com!&nbsp</A>;&nbsp;Often,

the lowest price is accompanied by high shipping costs and poor service.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also find out whether you are getting an &quot;oem&quot; or &quot;retail&quot; product.&nbsp;&nbsp;Many times what they list as being in stock suddenly, when you place your order, is not in stock, so placing the order via phone may be a consideration.<br><br>You can look at online vendor reviews at <A HREF="

have had a consistenly good shopping experience with multiwave.com and pcnut.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are not the lowest priced but I have had no regrets, which is a lot more than I can say about many other places I have shopped at.<br><br>Paul <p>Paul J.

I mentioned that in another post, to investigate the sites you goto, some of the popular ones like compuplus, buy, so on, will have a tad bit higher pricing, but sometimes relatively low shipping, also look for the methods of shipping and such. Also most sites should be in some way or another garanteed, some sites do only phone orders to get the special pricewatch pricing, but if you feel that a site is not being trustworthy of the prices it posts, contact pricewatch to have it removed. also OEM is always good if you just want you hardware and drivers, usally best for the professional-intermediate users that dont need a manual for everything, or a pretty box. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

just so you know, if you order from a local site, and not beyound your state borders, you have to pay Taxes, as well as shipping and product cost, which is why I always make sure the site is at least one state from me. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=
