NewEgg has much better prices than Fry’s Electronics. Just recently purchased a new computer case: 19.99 on sale and 19.99 Mail-In Rebate with 5.99 shipping. Never seen Fry’s beat that.

One thing Fry's is rarely good at is computer cases and power supplies. I always went to Geeks for that. I checked Newegg for years when I bought stuff, and only bought something once from them, a flash drive that I regretted getting when I saw it on Fry's for less a week later. Whatever I wanted from Newegg was always lower on Tiger Direct, Geeks, Meritline or Fry's. Usually a lot less.

CPUs and motherboards are best on Amazon unless you can find a deal on a combo at TigerDirect or in a Fry's ad. Fry's combo deals are usually for AMD stuff, they don't discount the Intel cpus very often.

Hard drives are best at Fry's. Geeks had some good deals, too, but their best prices were usually on refurbished drives, and you take your chances with those.

Anyway, name an item, and I can tell you which place I would go first for the best deal on it. Sad to see one of my resources go bye-bye.
