Ordered from them several times over the last 7 or 8 years, Computer Cases, power supplies, Ram, and hard drives ...
Never had any issues, they shipped pretty quick.

Their web page design is a little bit 1990s, but they are a reputable business.

Yup I use them on a regular basis, they're great!

Sometimes they have better deals than Newegg or Mwave on certain items as well, you just have to keep an eye out for them...

They're fine. They're like a newegg with only 1 store (in Houston), and they do in-warehouse pickup if you can.

Yup, great site :thumbsup: I've always found that they have the best deals on power supplies, at least during the few times that I've needed one.

i order from them when I need something quick (they're in houston, I'm in SA) and don't want to pay $$$ locally.

they're frequently a little more expensive than newegg et al, but faster to get to me.

They are a little bit ghetto, but the work quite well.

What do you mean by ghetto?

Just look at the site?

I ordered from them a few times a few years ago and they reused other boxes for shipping, sometimes used crumpled up newspaper and random Styrofoam "fill" to prevent using so many peanuts... old school dot-matrix printer invoices... it's the little things, but nothing that makes their reputation tank. It's makes for some chuckles.

I've ordered quite a bit from them. Never any problems, even had to RMA a hdd one time.

Thanks guys. With newegg now charging tax (and shipping), I think I'll give them a try.
