Where to Buy a New Motherboard?
If you want to mail order (or Web-order) the motherboard of your dreams, this section is for you. Mail-order is the cheapest way to buy products nowadays and if you don’t live in the US, it may still be much cheaper to order it from the US and have it shipped to your front door than to go buy it from a local store. Living in Tokyo, that was obviously true (one good thing about Japan is that there is no custom duty for computer products shipped from overseas to Japan to be paid to the Japanese customs). At the end of this section, I give a list of stores that I have looked at. Before doing anything, get an idea of the price of that motherboard. Best place to do that is PriceWatch, a server that monitors prices of PC hardware components in the US. This should give you a good idea of the current street price of that motherboard, along with a good list of stores that carry it. You can also try ComputerESP (they are more regular users oriented). Be careful, though, as some prices are given
