I've had excellent results from Newegg.com, Mwave.com, and Geeks.com 
(all of which have already been mentioned). IMO, Newegg has the best 
search options to help find exactly what you are looking for. I like to 
look for stuff on Newegg and then compare prices with other sites.

I've also had mixed results with Tigerdirect.com (also already 
mentioned). I find they tend to be overpriced, but if you are looking 
for somewhat older hardware it's sometimes the only [major retailer] 
site that will carry what I'm looking for. They also carry a lot of 
off-the-wall adapters I have had difficulty finding elsewhere (such as 
an awesome ethernet crossover adapter that turns any ethernet cable into 
a crossover cable; I've used that more times than I can count)
