Happy Holidays! Time to throw out the old and bring in the new, and what better new stuff can you think of than new computer equipment? In the tradition of thrifty holiday shopping, why not get a good deal on those new parts? My personal favorite for finding great deals online is Computer Shopper, an online search engine that has inventories for dozens of stores. One of these stores, 2k Computing, is where I personally ordered an Asus CUV4X Socket 370 Motherboard, a Pentium III 800mhz FlipChip and a Golden Cyclone Cooling Unit.

My order came from their offices in Ohio, delivered right to my PO box in 4 business days with standard U.S. ground mail. All that and a one-year full warranty for under $435. Not a half bad deal.

Another of my favorite sites is EggHead.Com, another search engine dedicated, not to computers, but to the all out tech-junkie. With consumer electronics to high end professional equipment, they have listings for everything, at rock bottom warehouse prices.
