About "Deals"-- and some pointers
While "what's best for you" is determined partly by shipping, you might look at CyberGuys if you need screws, mount studs, tool tip magnetizers, wiHa tools if you have not found WiHa in the US or more local toyou already and use those little Chrome Vanadium steel tools a lot for work or are a tool nut like me, and need someone reasonable with shipping. They also sell Sunon fans--most of the fans Sunon makes that are decent, that is.
And you roll your own toolkits, then the empty large zippered tool kit is priced decently (IIRC about $3.50 US). They also have decent prices on network cable checkers. They are a one-stop for "those oddball little things you just hate payign so much for at Radio Shack cuz no-one else has them." If you buy 51.00 worth,you gt 5.00 off total, if 101.00 you get 10.00 off, 151.00 gets 15 taken off, etc (USD amounts).
For Harddrives, usually Newegg, for RAM I tend to go to Crucial as I resell at discount to those who buy economy machines instead of having it die first half the time. For single harddrives shop rebates, for several you might want to check NewEgg.
Googlegear discounts some CDRs' DVDs' and combo drives and burners in units of ten, sometimes they take 10-15 off single unit price if you buy ten and sell some to friends. Where they do bulk packs, the bulks are things that they also sell a lot of and buy a lot of or get bulk deals on and buy pallets of. Check out Sony, and some others for optical drives that are decent.
I use price checkers more often than not, one of the best "deals" are the price-check engines like pricegrabber and pricewatch. I know of no universal best for all things electronic-- people are constantly floating prices to compete.
