Buying Computer Parts Cheap!

You may think you have to be a computer geek to replace parts in your home pc. While you will have to gain some knowledge about the process you will not have to get a college degree.

You can easily replace computer parts once you know a little about your particular model. Simply google your computer brand and model and you will come up with a lot of information you will need in order to upgrade memory or increase the size of your hard drive.

Learning the compatibility issues and a few basic terms is all you will need to buy simple computer parts. You can even call your local computer geek to find out what kind of memory your computer has, what processor is compatible and so on.

The fun part now is beating the price you would have to pay locally. There are a few decent ways to find computer parts cheap. The first is to know what websites to visit. One of the best computer parts and accessory sites on the web is Newegg. Here you will find all kinds of computer parts and the best part is they generally come in much cheaper than retail.

Another great site you can use to order computer parts is Geeks dot com. Their prices are fantastic! A processor, heat sink and fan that retailed for over $150 cost just over $70 with shipping and handling! That is a savings of over half, not to shabby in anyones book.

Finally you can often find good deals at Ebay. However you should use caution when shopping in this forum for computer parts. You really want to know the ins and outs of computer parts, because every once in awhile you will be dealing with a seller who is unaware of what kind of computer part he or she has. Be cautious and ask questions before bidding.

Computer technology has come a long way in a short time and will continue to evolve, however that does not mean the average person has to be forced to pay astronomical prices for computer parts and repair.
