A8N-SLI Premium; Where is a good place to buy from?

I previously bought from TCComputers - which is now bought by Insight,
and overpriced. I previously bought from Tiger, but Global Computers
bought them a long time ago and I haven't had good luck with them.

I've read negative and positive reviews of most of these sites listed.
$168 to $299 is quite the price range. Any pointers?

Newegg has prompt 2 day shipping to most US locations, a good return policy
if you are not satisfied or there is problem with the product, and excellent
customer service. Zipzoomfly is OK, but don't know about the others.

There's one other online source that's just about as reliable as
newegg. I bought most of my new rig from newegg, but I got the
motherboard at Monarch. Check them out on resellerratings.com.
http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=110704
$179

Monarch isn't open on weekends. I ordered everything on Friday.
Newegg processed the order over the weekend, and Monarch, not until
Monday morning, but the motherboard from Monarch arrived on my
doorstep on Wednesday morning right along with all the stuff from
Newegg. The only reason I didn't order the mobo from newegg is that
they didn't have it listed yet. I made a mistake on my order and
requested two PSUs. Newegg refunded the money promptly, but they
charged me a $15 restocking fee.

I've had very good luck with mwave, too.

I've had nothing but good experiences with NewEgg: great selection,
decent prices, good service, and reliable delivery.

I highly recommend Monarch Computer (www.monarchcomputer.com). I ordered a
mobo combo over the 4th of July holiday and didn't expect to get it for a
couple weeks due to the holiday. It arrived in less than a week and worked
flawlessly. It was the Asus A8V deluxe, AMD 3500+ and 1 g of Corsair
memory.

I purchased mine from NewEgg also. Prompt service and fair price.

Concur; ordered two motherboards from them last week, fast delivery,
fair prices. Had to return one item a few months ago, they made it very
easy. Great service.

I only build like 4 systems a year and have bought just about all my PC
parts from newegg since around Aug. 2001, every order (so far) has been
perfect, 2 days (maybe 3), well packaged, no bad/broken/wrong parts.

Recently got the Samsung 19" 8ms Newegg had on sale about a month ago
for $309 (after rebate), got it in 2 days, no dead pixels!

I buy mainly from Newegg.com, but I have bought a mainboard and case from
XPCGear.com and had no problems with their products either. The shipping
took 2 days longer. HTH

So I am putting together a PC on Newegg.com and as I'm doing this the
parts go up and down up to 10% from mean.

What's the deal? They seem to change the prices all throughout the
day. It seems evenings are better times to purchase than daytime.?
