Definitely drop frys.com from the list, they are going out of business. Actually, except for microcenter.com, I wouldn't buy from the others either. newegg.com seems to have the best attribute filtering by far.
I've been purposely going to Microcenter, and buying stuff there in the hopes that they'll stay in business. There's no other computer stores in the area of note.
If frys hasn't gone out of business yet, they're not going to - last one I was in only sold gift bags and batteries in a massive retail space and yet somehow they were still there. The retail gods must love Mr. Fry.

I really don't understand why Fry's isn't out of business.
Do they own the real estate they're sitting on or something? Are their online operations that profitable?
Sure, a private company can carry losses for as long as they have money. But, why would you?
>Do they own the real estate they're sitting on or something?
A quick search gives some mixed results. They own their San Jose property¹ through an affiliate company. This affiliate doesn't appear to own any other Fry's property though². Conversely, the Palo Alto location was closed when the lease ran out³.
