Several users have reported their favorite places to acquire Mac gear. Apple sets a minimum retail price for all authorized resellers, so the prices should be about the same everywhere. Best advice if you are looking online is to find a place that doesn't charge sales tax in your state, and look for the store with the best deal on shipping. Many places also give you a discount when you bundle items together (Displays, iPods, etc). College students may qualify for educational discounts as well.

Here are some online vendors who come highly recommended from ATM users:
MacPrices
MacWorld PriceFinder
Fry's Outpost
PowerMax
Small Dog Electronics
OWC

And here is a link to a recent ATM poll on shopping.
