You'll likely get the best prices at Frys (outpost.com) or at TigerDirect.  As long as you don't mind dealing with rebates.

You'll get the almost the best non-rebate prices at NewEgg.com, and you'll get much, much better service.

Newegg is such a phenomenally phenomenal phenomenon of a store that I will shop their unless a competitor can significantly undercut them.  If the difference is $5 or $10 I'll go with Newegg any day of the week.  Everything about the service you recieve from Newegg is top notch, and the shipping is supernaturally fast. 

Great Seller . . . A++ . . . Would buy again!!!    ;D

Ditto....they pretty much locked down my business about 5 years ago.  They were always within 5-10% of the "best" web price, had reasonable shipping (and super fast), good stock level, and great inventory.

I believe they sell barebones, but tigerdirect seems to be the barebones king, but as always, you get what you pay for, and tigerdirect has had complaints with their rebate processes.  so  :dunno
