Where do you order your parts from?

I think i'm going to upgrade my mac mini buy purchasing a stack for it and maybe some more ram, but I was wondering where to order from. In the PC world I would always order from Newegg. The only site I've found is Other World Computing. They seem a little high, but they seem reputable as well. Is OWC where you order from?
 
That's where I get my stuff from most of the time.

It all depends on whether I'm looking for something "Mac-specific" (processor upgrades, video cards, etc.), or whether I'm looking for an upgrade that is more universal and non-system-specific (RAM, hard drives, etc.).
 
I've purchased RAM for my Blue & White G3 from Other World Computing, received a bad DIMM, returned and replaced without hassle. Today I just received my 500GB Hitachi Deskstar SATA for my PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7 GHz with 2.5 GB RAM from NewEgg.com. I am thoroughly pleased with the NewEgg purchase. You can compare NewEgg.com to MacMall.com or MacWarehouse.com, but NewEgg.com will be less expensive for many items. In my case, the same Hitachi hard drive on NewEgg.com was cheaper than MacMall.com by $30.00 (U.S.) and NewEgg.com had free shipping (2nd DAY!!!).

My recommendation is, find the hardware on a trusted Macintosh website, then search NewEgg.com for the same item, and be SURE the product numbers all match, else you may be sorry.
