I'm certainly not the first to mention them, but they really are a great source for computer parts. While you may find better prices on some items if you shop around (pricewatch), you will not find a lower price on all parts in one place than Newegg. Fast shipping too. I recently purchased about 2 computers worth of parts from Newegg. Every item showed up within 3 days and not a single item was incorrect or missing.
Another poster mentioned just buying one from Dell. I have found that you generally can buy a low-end system from someone like Dell for a lot less than building one yourself. If you want a pretty decent system though, you need to build yourself. Even though the Dell Precision workstations are pretty nice machines, you can still do a lot better both in price and performance if you build yourself. Just being able to get the exact components you want is worth it. Also, only you what components you are willing to pay more for better performance and which you are willing to sacrifice some performance for a lower price.
