Is there a program out there that will do the legwork for you in finding a list of several items from ONE source or dealer at the lowest total price?
This thought stems from looking for a MB, CPU, RAM, Soundcard and Vid card to rebuild an older computer.
It would be nice if, for example, I could list ALL the specific items I wanted by brand and model and then have the Bot shop say Pricewatch for ONE store that had them all at the best price.
The shipping just nails you on single items from here and there, raising the prices and cutting the savings. Sometimes it's a lot better to get it all from one source.
Anyone found a fast way to do this?

Fastest way I know is:
http://www.mwave.com
http://www.markonecomputers.com
http://www.egghead.com
I've never had trouble with any of these, they tend to have most anything you need at very competitive prices.

I've used Mwave and egghead with no problems.
It just seems that one place rarely has ALL the stuff I want, probably because I'm a bit particular. I may want a particular brand of vid card for example and they'll have everything else I want but not that brand of card.
Just a lot of legwork with many screens open at once. Just wondered if any braniac had programmed a bot to go looking for the one place that "has it all" when you want specific brands/models.
