So looks like newegg is not only making www2.newegg.com but also has that site! Its been confirmed. The selection is the exact same. I build identical pieces on both sites and this is what I got:
Newegg: Product total: $1,664.94
Chiefvalue: SUBTOTAL $1,669.88
So without tax and S&H newegg is cheaper by a whole $5!!!!!!! So now lets look at the costs when we fill in the S&H! Its going to Missouri, zip: 63123
Newegg: Total (Before tax): $1,751.53
Chiefvalue: TOTAL: $1,715.51
Same company different prices? I actually compared prices to everything and newegg seemed to win quite a few but on some chiefvalue was cheaper... So good tip for anyone buying off of newigg is to check chiefvalue for the price of the same item there.... They also charge much less S&H (maybe per item less then newegg).
Either way I'm not going to save my self $36!!!!!! I suggest you save some money too!

We didnt say that Newegg was cheaper, we said that newegg is the most reputable and best known to us.

pff....either way, there must be a reason for the "same" company to do this.
wont affect me here in the UK tho. stupid tax. stupid lack of decent prices. stupid tax...
and yeah...Lian Li are superb quality. i thought they were overpriced junk until i got to build with one...they just ooze quality and are so SO user friendly. and aluminium (yes there is an extra 'i' in there my american chums) makes the case so much lighter. ahh....and did i mention that you can have the aluminIum case anodised to any colour you wish?! i'm considering a garish metallic pink/purple for mine

hehe.

yeah, but in the same respect, General Motors is not just in one place in the US...it operates as Vauxhall/Chevrolet/Opel here in europe.
just a point - the same company ownership doesn't mean they have to be in the exact same goegraphical location

who cares...they are both great sites with a very good reputation...if one has something cheaper than the other....GO FOR IT!! At least you know you won't be ripped off.

but there is nowhere in the uk like that! all we get is ebuyer.com which supplies the US and the Uk. any of you US folks got revies or experience with ebuyer over there? they are cheap for the uk
