When did Amazon.com start selling actual computer hardware?

... and by actual computer hardware, I mean things like power supplies, and even motherboards, as opposed to the more "lite" things like RAM, and peripherals. (though I don't think they sell CPUs yet)

Plus, factoring in shipping, I notice some things like my power supply are actually cheaper than NewEgg.

ANTEC PWR SUPPLY 480W ATX12V PS/2 ( NEO POWER )
Amazon.com - $130.14
NewEgg.com - $126.00 (plus $6.99 shipping)

Newegg's prices have been higher lately. I bought most of my components last Summer from newegg, but lately I've bought a few things and all from zipzoomfly.com.

Well, they need to start promoting it, and compete head to head with NewEgg.

Damn, you LOVE Amazon don't you? :D I actualy never knew about it either, and since I'm considering building a new rig, this is good to know...
