Have you considered looking for wholesale sources on Ebay? I don't mean responding to the scam ads saying they'll sell you a list of wholesalers, I mean look at who's selling the parts you want. A lot of wholesalers and manufacturers are using Ebay as a dumping ground for stale inventory. It might get you some ideas.

Default google will show the way

Newegg.com is a good site. But it is not nesessarally wholesale. What i can sugest for you, is to just look around. Just go to google, or your favorite serch engen and type in "computer parts bulk wholesale" and see where that takes you. I found some interesting sites under that one google. such as http://www.tcwo.com/ , but if you are looking more for direct wholesale. Then you will have to Probobly contact companys directly.

I would second TCWO. Although I have a resellers license , I use TCWO because of their low shipping rates (I think it's 6.95 for 150 lbs) also there was no tax shipping out of Florida. I call in the orders instead of using their website, (I like talking to people). I believe I've only had one problem and it was resolved immediately)

If you want other options with a resellers license, try these people,

www.techdata.com
www.dandh.com
http://ingrammicro.com/

DandH.com was probably the better value one, but if you compare costs when you add shipping then TCWO was and still is a great value.

Good Luck!

Albert

I was a computer wholesale distributor for 9 years. The company closed in 2001, but our home office merged with AOpen and Sunnytech and formed AOpen Center in Maryland. Call Theron Villa @ 800-444-8086 ext.215 and tell him Kevin sent you. He is now in sales, but did purchasing for 5 years. He can usually beat most prices out there - and if not don't buy it from him... Hope this helps...
