Seen some online descriptions of horrible service and reviews about what 
tigerdirect has done to some people

I've had nothing but good service from them; I've probably ordered 20 or more 
times from them.  But you can't count on them to have the same item next time 
you need it, they're a close-out shop.  Get on their reseller list if you can, 
you'll save 5%-25% on items that make the weekly reseller list.

I check prices at NewEgg and Provantage.com before ordering from either, but 
both have been very good to me. Provantage shipping is always more than 
Newegg's but sometimes their prices are enough better to make buy from them.

Ditto (no experience with the above)

Cyberguys pricing always seems high to me but they have some unusual things, 
like power pigtails, I find hard to locate elsewhere.
