For me, being a tech geek means buying electronics on a constant basis. Luckily, I am fortunate enough to have a Fry's Electronics in my city when I need to get a part quickly. However, when time is not of the essence and I have time to shop, my top 3 tech websites are as follows. Please chime in with comments and let me know if I should add/demote/promote from this list.
1. Newegg.com
Newegg.com has been my favorite electronics website for 5-6 years now. They always seem to have the parts I am looking for and their rating/comment system is the most useful and trusting system I have seen. Just based on user reviews and ratings will tell you all you will ever need to know about a product. I have noticed a price increase over the years with the site, I don't know if it is the economy or what, but I use to recall prices being a bit lower.
2. TigerDirect.com
Comparable to Newegg.com in many ways in terms of customer feedback and reviews. TigerDirect is also a site I trust for electronics. They have a huge selection of components, I just feel the site is a bit cluttered and products could be laid out more efficiently.
3. Geeks.com
This site has a good amount of refurbished and knock off brand electronics, but if you are just building a cheap computer and need a $15 dollar computer case, or just some affordable components, this is your place. Their prices are fairly low for their refurbs and knock-off brands but they also have competitive prices for name brand products. You can also find weird gadgets from time to time. Fast shipping comparable to Newegg.com
Notable Mentions: crutchfield.com (great for audio), amazon.com (great site, just slow shipping from my experience, great for mp3 purchases), ebay.com (based on the seller, you can save huge $$ and get a great product)

Hmm. Some other mensions that are good are Frozencpu.com and xoxide.com very excellent sites. very organized and frozen cpu also has customization options available when buying certain products. so a case, they offer wire sleeving and powder coat finishes and more.
