Purchasing computer parts in India

I've been shopping online in India since September 06 and have used quite a few shopping networks. Quite recently a lightning surge took out my DSL modem and onboard LAN so I bought a new UPS that not only protects my computer better but also allows me to purchase more powerful computer parts knowing they will be protected from power surges and brown outs.

As of now I've been on an upgrade spree and while Ebay India (http://ebay.in) is a reliable and easy to use source of computer parts and non-computer wares (Ebay India seems strong policies when it comes to credibility and does actively facilitate refunds) it may not always have the best prices.

One of the best places to get graphic cards and other highly customizable parts(not all graphic cards have the same fans or RAM chips) is the shopping forum (http://www.erodov.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=39) on Erodov.

The most interesting forum container on Erodov is the group order (http://www.erodov.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=124) section where one can find the latest importable products (mostly purchased from newegg) at prices much lower than at retail websites and much earlier than retail websites. The huge advantage there is that its much faster to add the latest prices to a forum thread than to add it to the back end CMS of their website.

Individual traders (quite a few who are reliable and who I have purchased parts such as low noise cpu fans and graphics card fans from) offer their latest wares in the forum threads on Erodov so as of now thats the best online market for computer parts (the more reliable dealers don't carry items with a weak warranty) for someone living in India. While there are etailers who could offer their wares for slightly cheaper, dealers on Erodov threads announce their latest wares on Erodov, much earlier than etailers anywhere else, at nearly the lowest price or if not at the lowest price possible in India.
