There is one thing I always buy straight from manufacturer (besides capacitors for motherboards since no local electronics store carry capacitors of any significant variety, not even Radio Shack or Circuit City, making their names plain wrong at best (local meaning 200 mile radius from where I keep my computers/home)). That one thing is RAM. If you plan on buying Crucial, get it from Crucial. Some of the best customer service I've had, and they're all up in Idaho, so if you're based in the usa, you're more likely to get great service and intelligible English speaking support for the lifecycle of the product, and not just until your Newegg RMA window closes.
Plus, free shipping.
