What kind of stuff are you looking to buy? For straight servers, we buy through xByte.
Desktops, mice, keyboards, toner...pretty much everything. For servers, I will start using xByte but that isn't all too often.
Ah, that stuff. I'm not even sure who we use anymore, lol.
-
My last two mice were from Amazon, does that count?
-
xByte for servers and networking gear, Stallard Tech for workstations. For other things, whatever I trust that offers good value (NewEgg, TigerDirect, BHPhotoVideo, Amazon).
-
Maybe Grove Marketplace?

Perhaps, when it arrives!

I kind of got the impression that Grove will be limited in what they can get. Maybe I misunderstood.

That's my understanding. But limited in vendors, not limited in scope, I think. LIke they can get mice, but maybe not the brand you want specifically.

We do have a full distributor that we buy through (all the things that you need) it's the speciality stuff that we are keeping close and specialized.

Is that for Grove or just a distributor that you guys use?We will be using a distributor (most VAR's do). I have 2 I will purchase through. Major things will be direct through Vendors.

Basically anyone but CDW uses a distributor, maybe even they do for some stuff.

Actually they use about 10 separate ones.

For the small stuff, Amazon for Business. Specialty things goes to specialty vendors (radios to one, scanner repair to another, etc.) For big things typically depends on what the project calls for.
