I'll second General Nanosystems.  I guess they are really in Minneapolis, 
but it is near St. Paul:

General Nanosystems Inc
3014 University Ave Se, Minneapolis, MN
(612) 331-3690

I have no affiliation with them, but I spent about $2000 last summer on a 
bunch of different things and I liked their prices.  Some of the guys know 
a lot and some of them don't know so much, so check what they tell you if 
it seems questionable.

I liked the used monitors I bought here:

Midwest Surplus & Electronics
124 12th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN
(612) 339-9533

Sometimes I buy miscellaneous items, maybe DVD-Rs or a keyboard, or 
something I can't get elsewhere at that moment at

CompUSA - Roseville
2480 Fairview Ave N, Roseville, MN
(651) 635-4098
