I'd trust NewEgg over TigerDirect, I've had issues with them when I get incorrect or defective parts. Their customer support is pretty lame. OTOH, NewEgg has been very responsive if I have questions or problems.

Pricewatch.com You get tons of sites to choose from and better price selection. I use new egg to look up the part i want usualy, copy the manufactureres part name into www.pricewatch and scroll through. Theres also www.FrozenCPU.com and i think its www.xoxide.com. You can start looking for cases and case parts there and use pricewatch newegg to find better prices. Always check out the manufacturers websites. You will get to see their other products and the products of the other makers and get a better idea of what you want and what you can get.

Frozencpu has more stuff but xoxide has better prices alot if they have the part. On top of that look at Pricewatch and check its price comparisons.
