Tiger Direct

Tiger Direct is an extremely good source for electronics.  Building your own computer isn’t nearly as hard as you might think and allows you to buy generic parts.  (If I want to upgrade the graphics in my Hewlett Packard, I have to find one that has the plug-in bridge on “the wrong side”–the opposite side from most cards.  This ensures I buy HP hardware, and is one of the drawbacks of the out-of-the-box computer, just like the ton of crapware sold with a new computer.)  You can also buy tv’s there, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen stereos mentioned (I just haven’t looked, since I have a 250-watt system (RMS) that has me pretty well satisfied); you can buy car stereos there.

By “extremely good” I mean very good quality.  Very good customer service.  And in some categories–given when you order–so we can really say “In some categories, at some times”…they have the best prices on the net.
