I am fortunate to have a good online store from which to buy discount hardware.

Computer parts can be very expensive and Online Stores can offer discounts due to their bulk buying power and volume sales. These discounts can add up to hundreds of dollars savings when purchasing your computer parts.

Also, online stores seem to have a vast range of parts to choose from and most are in stock for a fast delivery.

The downside is that you have to trust people to do the right thing and this makes it hard to take the first step.

I have read horror stories of problem stores and I don't wonder at all why people won't shop online.

Well, for all you U.S.A. based people, I found this link and have read many customer reviews about this store.
They really seem to be doing the right thing. They are called AccuPC and their customer reviews are exceptional in the industry.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, you can save big bucks on hardware, but research your supplier first to avoid hassles.  8)
