I have one off the newegg warehouse close by so if I order by 1pm I get my stuff the next day. I have used Tigerdirect but most of the sales are mail in rebates which I hate and longer on the shipping.

Newegg has the best layout. Tigerdirect is rebate city, they own their own rebate company(hint)pulling teeth. I order alot from Zipzoomfly and Mwave too. Tiger is fourth on my list unless they beat everybodys elses price (without a rebate).

They try to make profit from people visiting their sites by cluttering it with add, I mean come on! they probably could make more if they took off the adds and put a decent layout.
(like Newegg)

Ive used Newegg since 2005, its a fantastic site for prices, even if Tigerdirect is cheaper on some items, id still go Newegg, and have the peace of mind that I bought from my favourite company. Im going to miss them in 2010 when I move back to the UK

I Shop new egg on selected things... BUt the only things i never buy from newegg, is case accessories, Xoxide does it best.., I use Tiger because it has a store near me, and in emergency cases where money isn't important i go buy it at their store, they have a bestbuy type store, where things are cheaper online than at the store location...

I've never had a problem with newegg. Great products, customer service, and fast shipping.

How can you say that newegg is cheaper? Compared part for part. Tiger is at least $5 on every single item cheaper (see my previous post with the pricing). Plus they have a lot more instructional video and how to select components than new egg. I think there website is easier to follow.

The also have the best quote from a customer that I've seen on newegg:
"The guys at Tiger must wear pampers...because they are teh SH...T!!!"
