I was just comparing prices between the sites and newegg blows tigerdirect away. There is a $50.00 difference in the Asus Maximus Extreme between the sites. I have already purchased a few things from tiger but I think I will be leaning toward newegg from now on. The only con is that tiger has a broader selection in brands, but not a big deal.

Newegg also has quicker shipping (in my experiences), better customer support, a more user-friendly site, and overall, it's great. RMAs are a breeze, and they have a chat :D

I think Newegg is a better site overall as well. I really like the 'Spec' tab that newegg has on all of its products. It makes component comparision user friendly and ultimately a better buying experience!

There's only one MAJOR flaw with newegg, they don't ship to Canada! Tigerdirect on the other hand have a canadian site.

I wouldn't say this is an advantage for TigerDirect, considering how overpriced they are compared to many other canadian websites such as NCIX, DirectCanada, MemoryExpress, etc.

Besides that, even tho I live in Canada, I find that Newegg has such a user friendly site that I tend to refer to Newegg first when looking for information. And like another user said, their spec page is very useful.

you're probably right... But right now it's in such a horrible mess I'd gladly pay a little extra if it meant not living there. I don't think someone could pay me enough to live there right now.

Your government is a bunch of pawns. The corporate juggernaut controls the country. The pharmaceutical industry in particular has the Administration by the scrotum. The people are a bunch of whiny cry babies, demanding action and when they get it, they scream at the price and blame the government. The special interest groups are destroying what little is left of the Constitution. The Dems are almost facist, saying whatever they think you want to hear and then backpedalling as soon as they take power. The economy is totally trashed. Your national debt is well over 60% of GDP while your cowboy president waves his Smith and Wesson, banking the profits from his investments in arms.

The public view is so bent out of shape they spend billions to prove there's no God and that homosexuality is genetic so they can avoid any and all accountability. The one thing they are gifted at is blaming anyone and everyone but themselves. The elite few are getting disturbingly rich while the rest of America spends millions of dollars in the name of "entertainment". A Hollywood star's boob job makes headlines while the improvished waste away in alleys. The gap between the poor and the elite widens by the day, with the middle class bearing the entire burden of the country's wanton greed.

It's a joke. If that means I have to pay an extra 10 bucks for a computer part, count me in. Today you bomb Iraq, tomorrow the Arabs build a mosque on the Whitehouse lawn, while the populace shakes their heads and wonders what the hell just happened.

You watch. When you run out of bullets, they'll come up to you with a big smile, poke the tip of their finger in the end of your gun while they hand you a turban and the Quran.

lol :D I read wayyyy too much politics.

Wow, jeez that's a bit much. You might think you're being "cute" with your "lol :p" but that statement is not appropriate.

Nope. Not being cute. Being dead serious. I read way too much news. It's just reality. With all the focus on securing the oil to feed the need, they're losing sight of what's happening in their own country.

Incidentally, my parents live in Florida. We have long discussions about it and even though they're avid Republican supporters, they can't dispute the facts.

As for Newegg, they've long been rumored to be opening a Canadian site. Indeed, they've purchase the newegg.ca domain. Mind you, this has been at least a year in the making, so I have no idea whether it will ever come to fruition or not.

I think I've accidentally hijacked this thread enough. I'll simply say this and then drop it. What the USA desperately needs is a government made up of independents. However, to do that some restrictions must be removed. The electoral college must be abolished, as the main thing it accomplishes is to protect the stranglehold of the Big Two. Donations to campaigns must be more tightly controlled, to prevent morons like Hilary from lining their pockets from a very interested Chinese, who have a vested interest in the outcome of the election and a not so discrete interest in maintaining their economic superpower status.

It will never happen, but it's fun to dream.

The reality is that no matter who takes office, a group of suits walks in while the newly elected President takes a seat and arranges the pens, sets a laptop on the desk, plays back the JFK assasination and calmly asks "any questions?"

And with that, I leave it.

Yeah, it seems like you really know what you're talking about (not really). And hats off on your grammar. I don't think you read too many politics, it might be that you are a communist. It's not that you would never live here, it's that you don't have the BALLS to live here.
