The one thing which still affects tech geeks like us here is the lack of reliable Online Shopping Sites where we could buy Computer Hardware and Software. We definitely cannot boast of a site like newegg. But, there are a few sites which have been in the business for a long time and are safe to deal with. Some of these have been listed below.
Please note that this list is not a comprehensive one and is not in any preferential order.
