I think it would have been interesting if you could have rated your top 3 choice. I buy most computer components and some other electronics from NewEgg and would say that is where the largest chunk of my money goes. I spend quite a bit at Amazon, but this is for only some electronics, books, movies, and some oddball things, but not computer parts. I do get a few things from Buy.com, but usually electronics that are particularly cheap there. I have found some crazy low prices there and their holiday sales were pretty good... I picked up a re-certified SanDisk Sansa Clip 1GB for $13.99 shipped. It was unscratched and the memory blanked and came with a new cable and new headphones.

I shop with whoever has the lowest prices. Newegg used to be consistant with having the best price until the last year or so. I've placed numerous orders through places that don't have a huge name like zipzoomfly, clubIT, etc. If I can save $50+ bucks by comparison shopping I'll go with a lesser known outfit. If it's a store I never heard of before I check a site like resellerratings and see how they pan out. Why show loyalty to a company when they only care about their bottom line? Nothing personal--just business. :D

I love B&H and New Egg. Tiger Direct is awful. Amazon is OK.

NewEgg is my first choice for computer parts. Amazon is where I usually go for consumer electronics.

Micro Center is another good place for computer parts although it is not listed as an option.

NewEgg is tops. As a result, they get most of my cash for computer parts. When I'm doing a rebuild or a super cheap beige box my money usually goes to Geeks.com. I also shop ZipZoomFly and Microcenter. Amazon is a decent catchall, and they get some of my dough too.

I've never had an issue with TigerDirect, actually only very good results. I spend most money at Amazon though.. can't beat the convinience and cheap overnight shipping.

Amazon for electronics, books, DVDs. New Egg for computer parts. eBay for random stuff that is overpriced at the other two.

But if something shows up on a Dealzmodo or something I will even sink down to the depths of Dell for a 42" Aquos. So I guess it's just show me who is charging the least and I'll be there.

While I use Amazon for most of my purchases, I would have liked to see the top three listd and ranked. Adorama & B&H get the remainder of my $ (Often through links in Amazon) Fry's and Microcenter factor in too and neither were included in the poll.

NewEgg usually has the best price and quick service, but man are their shipping charges messed up! (Try buying a quantity of small items) Not that there's much price competition elsewhere, but do check the "total price" including shipping...

I've also bought (happily) from B&H, Newegg, BuyDig and Adorama. All good companies I'd do business with again

Dealextreme.com ofcourse! free shipping worldwide, good prices...
