First impressions: it's not so good if you don't know a specific model or can't specify a good toplevel search criterion (there seems to be no refinement capability. - - - Some of the other links in my "shopping" bookmarks have a more accurate(!) search than google, and some have nice stepwise refinement capabilities. One focuses on alerts of time-sensitive special pricing. http://www.pricescan.com .. http://stores.tomshardware.com/ http://dealnews.com/ .. I subscribe to alerts from this one http://www.dealsites.net/ .. haven't really tried this one http://www3.dealtime.com/ http://octopart.com/ .. haven't tried; looks inviting for nuts&bolts http://www.pricegrabber.com/ .. really nice drill-down capabilities http://www.pricewatch.com/ vendors good to watch: http://www.newegg.com/ http://frys.com/ (used to be outpost.com) more links: http://www.google.com/Top/Home/Consumer_Information/Price_Comparisons/ (Heh) I know you didn't ask for this info, I was just in the mood to post some bookmarks. :-) Regards, ..jim -- KPLUG-Steer@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
