How does someone get wholesale prices on computer parts? And does anyone know a good online site that will give you online prices?
thanks

Buy in volume and become a legal buisness with a Tax number and set up an account with a whole sale distributor That is willing to do business with you.

I have found with computer parts that most of the time there is not difference in retail and wholesale. The mark up on parts is sometimes less then 5%. (I have no idea how these people are able to make a living). There is a street here in Toronto where there is about 23 computer stores in a 3 block area (Spadina and College) and the extra 30 dollars on a $200 item is the 1 or 2 year warrenty that you get.
When I first started building My own systems it was worth the hassle of getting a bussiness licence, distribution account, venders permit cause at that time I could get the parts for almost half price.
The only way you can make money in computers is if you are huge like Futureshop, or Staples etc

Ok, that was my real thought, if online wholesale prices were really that much cheaper than just shopping around and trying to find the best prices online.
thanks for the replies,
