buying a processor from pricewatch.com

[T_Bird]

does anybody know if it's a good idea or not to buy a processor from pricewatch.com or say like newegg.com or where ever? I'm worried about it getting dammaged in shipping or due to heat or getting ripped off...I bought me GF2 from pricewatch and I love it and it's been working for like 2 or 3 years now.....ummm I just get the feeling that a processor might be a different story....let me know wat you guys think especially you penguin I know you've mentioned this before but I just can't find where.

thanks guys

The cheapest on pricewatch is not always the best. I strongly urge you to check a mail order house's reseller ratings here: http://resellerratings.com/

I can recommend some places that I've used a lot:
http://Newegg.com
http://kdcomputers.com
http://www.essencompu.com/
http://www.mwave.com/

I was recently looking at purchasing somethign from pricewatch and i went to resellerrating (on Penguins recommendation) and I discovered that NONE of the sellers on there seemed worthwhile. They all had tendancies to... uh... "forget" to ship something. I would look elsewhere to buy some parts.
