My grandfather recently told me about a website called newegg.com that has popular electronic stuff for crazy low prices. he recently bought a new LED 1080p monitor for almost nothing (relatively speaking, of course). i did some looking around there and found a bluetooth usb adapter for $0.99, which i immediately bought. in total, it cost me only $5 to get it shipped. does anyone know any other websites like this? i feel the need to spend all my money on computer gadgets.

New Egg's prices have actually gone up. Amazon had some better deals for a while. Let me know how that ultra cheap bluetooth adapter works. Sometimes getting a little more expensive product with free shipping is a better idea.

Newegg prices have gone up especially in shipping. It used to be free 3-5 day shipping for most things, around 5+ years ago. Then they started charging and keeping free shipping only on rare sales. Still one of the better places to shop no doubt. Its usually the first and last place I will shop for PC gear.

Another decent site is Tigerdirect.com but their selection is much smaller. Amazon prices can be great but there selection can be odd and sometimes items can be listed multiple times and sold through other companies, so be careful there.

In general, the cheapest place to get almost anything is dealextreme.com. You can get a bluetooth adapter for under $2 shipped there.
