I find newegg easier to use, tiger seems a bit crowded and messy. Also newegg has really fast shipping along with over a million product reviews.

Newegg has great customer service, really fast shipping, and from my experience their prices are the best on almost everything. There are a few exceptions like cables and small accessories.

I have made about a dozen orders from NewEgg.com. They have excellent customer service, fast shipping, and great prices.
Once I wanted to return an optical drive that was out of warranty by about a month. They did a return merchandise authorization for me anyway. Great customer service!

tigerdirect generally doesnt have as many items, thats my main reason
Tiger does have some older things if you need them though.

Newegg is faster than Tiger (I'm in CT - they're in NJ) so I usually get my orders within 1-3 days. Tiger takes longer and the prices are usually higher.

I like newegg, for only my mobo, RAM, HD, and PSU, because they have no doubt the cheapest price for all of them, but i like tiger for the GFX card, HD, and DVD Drive I just prefer tiger, because if i find it online i can go to compusa and buy it there, and go home, save me ALOT of waiting.., and for fans and lights everyone should use Xoxide.com... BEST PRICE BEST EVERY CASE ACCESSORY.. they even have things Newegg doesn't have... and same type of shippnig as new egg, ordered my things monder, got em today..

I'm sketchy when it comes to Xoxide because I've heard they aren't very reliable.

agreed. Tigerdirect has adds everywhere and the layout just isn't as simple as neweggs. The prices are about the same really some cheaper on newgg some cheaper on tigerdirect. Plus the you can't beat the free/fast shipping from newegg.
