Adafruit
Fun and simple kits for beginners or experts alike

Mouser
Huge distributor of cheap parts

Digi-Key
Similar to Mouser, slightly less selection, slightly lower prices

Minute Man Electronics
Great supplier of proto-typing tools, equiptment, chemicals, and some components. $20 miniumum, email them to pay with Paypal

BG Micro
Good-sized selection of components with parts for robots and cheap solar cells

Spark Fun
Probably my favorite site for components, directed toward hobbyists, complex components have breakout models available, lots of good stuff!

PCBs

Bare Bones PCB
Proto boards, cheap (in low quantity), no soldermask/silkscreen, VERY fast, very polite, great company

When you're ready to order professional boards, their other site will credit you the cost of the proto boards. They also have good deals for students and a $500 discount for companies.

Batch PCB
Great for one or two boards with soldermask/silkscreen

OurPCB
Incredibly cheap professional boards. Tile the boards, tooling/depanelization is free ($25 extra for each other design in a tiled board). Green or black soldermask & white silkscreen are free. $40 for other colors

Samples

Samples
Why reinvent the wheel? This is a great, very full page of sample suppliers broken into catagories with feedback for most
