Post Subject: Great Stores for Supplies updated 3/12/08
Posted on: Jan 22, 2008

This thread has been started as a nice guide to anyone who needs to buy something but isn't sure where to look. Below we have categories listed with stores below them. If you don't see a store on there that you think should be on there, please feel free to post the store and a short description (of the type of stuff they carry as well as your experience with them for everyone else), and it'll be added to the list as soon as a mod notices it

http://www.jameco.com/
http://www.radioshack.com/
http://mouser.com/

ryanarmstrongah BC Stands For Beyond Control Sorry


yeps lol it was the name of the cartel I was in on the dopewars mmo and my cartel leader jokingly said the BC stands for beyond control doesn't it and it kinda stuck, originally the B was just my last initial and C was custom but Beyond Control sounded better so I went with it.

as for sites in canada the ones I know are, I use memoryexpress all the time, they're in alberta so you don't get hit with as much tax as NCIX or Tiger Direct.

NCIX
Memoryexpress
Tiger Direct

Maybe also a list of computer part stores that is divided into sites that have bad prices but good specials. (Frys/Outpost) And then more constantly good priced stores like newegg and Clubit.
