for any cooling solutions http://www.coolerguys.com I have been with them since they were a small company and they are growing each day.
We have seen their kind before. They're the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies.

For parts, I either get them from a few b&m places I know of, and oline stuff is usually from:

Crucial, TCWO, 3dcool.com, and a few others.

NewEgg should certainly draw traffic from SG. I just received my first shipment from them based on what I've read here. I'm happy with the prices and service.

http://www.cyberguys.com/ has products that should interest folks here but you need to have their print catalog for the whole story.

I have a different idea.... can't you get all of those stores to provide you with a link so that you'll get a percentage of the sales of people that came there through SG? Then you could make a page with recommended online stores, which people could rate? You know, like a small shopping directory? An interactive one that generates cash as well? :D

I mean, you guys do have the traffic and resources to pull this off and make it profitable, I believe. Plus it would mean that members that look for certain things would just go to the shopping directory, read through the small descriptions of what the sites are selling, selects a site, and buys, knowing they won't be ripped off, or something.

Just an idea,

Pricewatch is #1. whenever somebody asks about computer parts, that site is usually recommended by the 1st reply. pretty much everybody goes there to check prices.

Newegg #2. lots of traffic on that site too :)

Simply run adaware, spybot, ZoneAlarm, HijackThis, AVG, update windows daily, have a router, don't open e-mail, turn off action scripting, don't use P2P networks, don't violate EULAs, and wear a condom to get Windows secured.

That's a good idea advertising good buy/service sites because it will help visitors coming here to find good places to buy parts and it will help Speedguide because of the advertising benefits/money you may receive for it...but keep in mind though that not all users here are American and a lot of those sites are virtually useless to non-Americans because they do not ship to Canada.

Like with Newegg, as good a site it is, it is basically useless to us Canadians because they don't ship internationally. You may want to keep that in mind if u do do the advertising...like make a note that it is only for Americans.

I don't buy computer stuff that often. Usually it's something small that you can get where ever.

newegg

ive probably spent aroung $1000 bucks there so far.

ive used them 3 times.....unfortunatley had to rma twice.

i give them a few more shots. they are on the ball as far as processing your order and keeping you up to date on where ypour merchandise is (wharehouse or on the truck).

that alone is a HUGE factor in my decision in continuing to use them.
