I've gotta order a motherboard from the US because I can't get it here in Canada, and I've found MWave to be one of the best prices while being one of the best known.. anyone have any good or bad experiences with them? Resllerratings doesn't tell me all that much... Can someone advise me? if there is a better place to buy, just let me know!

Thanks!!!

Mwave.com rocks. I had an EPoX 8hka+ go bad that i got from newegg. Newgg (which is just as good) RMA my motherboard and then a few days later said they were out of stock and didn't know when they would get it back in. The refunded my CC and i went to Mwave to get a replacement. Mwave had the same mobo for $1 cheaper and i got overnight shipping for $12! They shipped the same day and i had it the next day! All for a very reasonable price. Great company

I've actually purchased from them probably 4-5 times and my best friend has twice. Never a problem and great company.

Sweet! thanks!
I wish I could get it from a closer dealer, actually, i haven't even checked to see if they'll ship to Canada!! :Q Newegg didn't last time I checked a while back, uh oh, i sure hope I can get it from there..

I am looking to getting the Shuttle AK35GTR and it's kinda hard to find, at least a place that will ship it to me!

I've ordered from them several times...never had a problem.

Note: I've never had to return anything to them <sound="knocking on wood"> so I can't comment on that part of their business.

Not that this is indicative of their customer support, but we can hope.

I purchased a refurbished ibm drive from mwave. I dont know what i was thinking at the time as until I saw my invoice with my own eyes would i beleive that i actually bought a refurb gxp. Regardless the purchase took place last year. The drive of course is dead. IBM refuses to RMA because they say the S/N belongs to a gateway block, which of course means it is a refurb from gateway that made its way to mwave. Well late one night i am extremely bored and have had no sleep so i tell mwave what happened, that i dont have the 3 year manufacturers warranty, and dont expect to hear anything. A few days later I received an RMA number. Hella Sweet

Ordered from them in the past. Would definitely deal w/ them again. Had to do a return/exchange once, was a prompt and smooth transaction.

I bought most of the components for my rig at Mwave. Everything that i ordered came on time and in great shape. The reason that i cho chose them over Newegg was because Newegg does not ship to P.O. boxes and i did not feel like going home every time i wanted to pick up my mail. (I am at college)

Just adding another thumbs up for MWAVE. I order from them more than anyone else due to their competitive prices (usually on most things), cheap shipping, and great customer service. My other two favorites are AxionTech and Thompsons Computer Warehouse.

Nice, thanks for the heads up, I like having a nice bookmarked folder of all the good online stores, I have heard of AxionTech before and they are good!
one of my favorites is OutsideLoop computers, they have good reviews, and have great service, prices are not the absolute best but I didn't ever order anything expensive from them... overall they are one of my favs outside of Canada.

MWave is the primary place I order from. They have the BEST customer support. It can not possibly get any better! (Seriously) I give them a perfect rating.

I bought my A7V133/Duron/HSF from them a while back, I recommend them 100%.
