I've been molesting an arduino board lately and thought maybe I would ask here.

I'm looking for sites to compare prices on component level stuff.

Currently I've only got these bookmarked...

http://www.allelectronics.com/
http://dipmicro.com/store/
http://www.inmojo.com/
http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1
http://www.sparkfun.com/
http://www.cutedigi.com/

Does anyone have any other decent stores?

Wow...Pricewatch was the big site when I was in college.  Didn't know it was still around.  Good to Know.

Yep, still alive and kicking!  And still one of the absolute best IMO. :)

+1 for pricewatch, although I haven't build my own system since 2004.

I've never been to that one before.  I am looking for sites with basic IC sets, relays, project components, ect.  I didn't see many but from what I see I like it. 

I need a new desktop computer.  Might have to do a little more research and compare prices with that site compared to others.

I don't really have a lot of knowledge since I feel like computer cards and parts are outdated so often.  Too much to keep up with.

Hasn't monoprice had 2 or 3 catastrophic security failures resulting in their customers credit card info being stolen?

Those are the two sites I've been browsing thanks to you UOMaddog. I was just on those sites 5 minutes ago. My mouth starts watering, my hands start shaking and beads of sweat start forming on my forehead when I'm browsing those sites. Too much stuff on there I want and can't have and probably don't need but it's fun to look at some of the new hardware that's coming out on the market. 8)

You guys love computers.  I never really got crazy about the latest and greatest personal computers.   

You guys should really look at www.Arduino.cc 

It's open source hardware as well as software.  For me it closes a gap between the software and hardware in present day electronics we see and use on a daily basis. 

Has anyone messed with any project boards? (Arduino or otherwise?)
