I admit it... i'm a hardware junkie. my setup currently isnt that great because, alas, i'm a poor college student. but this summer i'll be working as a coop at Adtran (they make telecom/networking equipment for phone companies and big corporations with WANs)... and they pay very well...:D sooo... we all know what that means... it means my poor overclocked duron 750 with the corners ground off from the ^%#%^ heatsink (still works, thank goodness) will get to be retired... or at least relegated to DC:D
Anyway, where are your favorite places to get good, but cheap reliable new/used hardware? A lot of parts forcomputers ive built for friends have come from newegg.com (great place, i reccommend it)... are there good places that people just buy/sell stuff that are reliable?
