Hand to hand
I like hand to hand it is easy fro some guy miles awy to say no to you it is harder to say no in person. This is why I use local stores still when building computers, the stores I use give discounts to small time builders and even larger builders, on top of that you suport the sales groth in your reagion. I have found the custom computer shops in my city to be better in price then buying online after chipping and taxs. You just have to look around find a good place and keep going there, one store I deal with will give me credit on my own personal hardware now even though it is their directive not to, this is because, to-date I have given them about $80,000.00 in sales over the last 5 years. NO website will do that for you.
