If you end up in a Fry's Electronics, stay away from anything with a blue sticker on it. The blue sticker means that product has been purchased, returned to the store, and then stuck back out on the shelves for purchase again. Beware!!!

Newegg.com is probably the best all around e-shop. Their prices are good and shipping is wicked fast for in stock items.

Fry's is an OK choice for retail but they probably won't have the slimline CD you want.

Go to frys by fare your best bet

You can get the(1) delorme gps reciever there
(2) epia m1000 (if you want)
(3) 2.5" hard drive
(4)slimeline adapter (but no slimeline drives)
(5) small keyboard
and tons of other stuff, if you are from sweden and walk into this store you may just **** your pants. If there is anybody out there who has
never been in a frys You have no idea what your missing.

I dunno about you guys, but the prices at Frys are high compared to computer shows. if you're building a whole computer, you may save around $100 by shopping at the computer fair. Plus they have lots of 2.5" HDs
