For computer parts in Beijing go to Haidian / WuDaoKou. It is the area just south of BeiDa (Beijing University) and Tsing Hua University.
For hip hop go to Mix or Vick's. They are located in the parking lot of Workers Stadium - west side.
For places to drink I'd hit up Hidden Tree or Kai. They are off sanlitunr enough to get away from the sleezy businessmen and hookers, and there are a lot of young kids partying. Kai serves absinthe.
Like someone said earlier in the post, XiDan is good for clothes. WangFuJing is ok too if you want more name brand stuff... although I don't recommend that you buy name brand things in the Beij.
Chaoyang has some clubs/restaurants/bars too that are also worth a trip.
If you are staying for an expended period of time, one place that you NEED to go is Lush. It is right up the street from Propaganda (a WuDaoKou club).
