Here's some comparison of results. I could have done more products, but I got tired (I've got a 28.8 modem). Overall, Outpost.com was cheaper than egghead.com. 2 comments. First, egghead.com seems slightly faster than outpost.com in their product search engine. Second, outpost.com was much easier to find products since they listed products by sub-categories. Egghead just listed them all by title which was sometimes hard to find.
