...... The other nice thing about TigerDirect was
that they used to (and probably still do) provide
a lot of information. I can check out motherboard
options, know what CPUs are compatible, check
whether a board has a specific connector that
I want, etc. My impression of NewEgg, to the
extent that I could use their site at all, was
that they were more like Amazon: Not really a
store so much as a middleman.
