I guess that's the power of online stores vs. brick and mortar(no overhead, less staff, etc etc) Looks like I'll pick up a new one in a week or two. Thanx again all for your help.
Coming from somebody who almost tried to run a retail store you are pretty fucked if you try to match their prices.
Most online places don't pay for the products until they are actually sold, and as computer parts can lose more than 50% of their value in less than a year you need to get as much money out of them as you can as soon as they come out, and dropping prices is a huge loss, and you only sell one or two internal parts per week so you really don't have any bargaining room.
