I have been a fan of NewEgg if ordering computer gear online. I personally like the fact that they stand up to patent troll law suits and spend the money to actually go to court.

As of 2016, NewEgg has been owned by Hangzhou Liaison Interactive Information Technology Co., Ltd. Some people have said the customer service has worsened, though I haven't noticed anything myself. I don't like Chinese companies buying out American companies for brand recognition though.

B&H Photo Video has a surprisingly large selection of computer components and the filtering options seem comparable to NewEgg, so I may start buying more parts from there.

Does that mean that since 2016, they have started to feed the trolls instead of fighting? I honestly don't know who owned them before, so not sure the significance of this ownership change.

Who can say. Different owners may have different priorities.
