Comments: Flat Panel?

My partner likes TigerDirect quite a bit. I've window-shopped there many times, and their prices (and the quality of the stuff they distribute) seem very good. http://www.tigerdirect.com/

Also check out RetroBox (http://www.retrobox.com/rbwww/home/) -- in addition to used flat panels they'll sell you a $200 used G4 tower. I'm hearing good things about their service, though I have no personal experience with them.

I also look on pricewatch.com, and usually check various refurbished websites (like refurbdepot.com), if for no other reason that to get a general idea of cost on specific brands.

Sometimes NewEgg has occasional deals, and you might also consider looking at Microcenter (http://www.microcenter.com/). I don't know about Microcenter's online deals, but I drove to their store in Fairfax and combed through some of their returns and opened packages. Picked up a perfectly fine "opened" Linksys Wireless Router for about 50% of retail (it was missing the CD, which had absolutely nothing of importance on it). With the missing CD, I haggled them down even more from what they were asking.

Thanks, folks; I'll snoop around.

Newegg.com has great deals. I just picked up a monitor that retails for $699 for $407 delivered.
