Choosing new hardware. Recommended sites?

My hardware is getting old and starting to fail.
In looking for new motherboard/processor/graphics card, are there
any sites you'd recommend, with Fedora as a target OS?

I'm not looking here for recommendations, just good sites you may
have used / can trust, when Linux is the target, not M$

TIA Dave

I usually use Tiger Direct or NewEgg. Although some may disagree, they're service has been pretty good in my experience. I've had a couple damaged pieces over the years that they have replaced without issue and in a very timely fashion. Everything else has been fine. As with any thing else, pay attention to what you're actually buying and compare pricing. Watch the cost of shipping as some really pad the cost that way. Pricewatch.com is one of my favorites for price comparison.

Tks glennzo. I'm UK based and have no problem finding suppliers (I think newegg is in that category?)

I was thinking of review sites or similar who take an interest in Linux applicability (last years kit rather
than this years has always been my philosophy so far ;-)
