bitmit, the newbies have the best deals but its a gamble if they ship or ignore you and your coins sit in escrow for a week.

Haven't tried bitmit yet. I'll take a look at it...

i'd vote first ebay.. and you can get new hardware for cheap too
but online retailers can have pretty cheap deals too like tigerdirect or newegg

Ebay is pretty consistent. I was going to bid on 2x HD 5970's for $50 each, but forgot too...lol....The only issue with those cards was refluxing the GPU and memory modules.....Today I just got a Antec Nine Hundred case and a Silverstone 1000w Modular PSU for $20 off of Craigslist...Just missing a couple mobo standoffs and 4 modular cables, but 100% tested and fully functional PSU.... Grin...Sorry, the flash blocked of the stats of the PSU test, but all the voltages are within specs....

I normally get it from ebay.  Smiley

Ebay is reliable and less hassles then Craigslist....Craigslist can be a headache at time, some people are crazy on there....LMAO

Most of the stuff I got is from Craigslist and friends upgrading, giving me a good deal. Personally, Craigslist is 50/50, some people over value their items and/or back out on a deal the last minute. But I prefer through friends and some times Craigslist, occasionally ebay.
