When I built my own PC (2003, pre-Mac) I used newegg - best service, one source for all my parts, good reputation, and I got free shipping at the time. Plus they source their memory from Crucial (Micron) which is one of the better memory suppliers. I didn't want to futz around with multiple stores shipping at different times and I built my computer for ~$400 with excellent components. Still runs today; it's now my parents' computer.
If you want a Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM hard drive, I have a brand-new one under my bed that never been used. Make me an offer.
