I was just doing a few searches on Pricewatch and noticed this company came up several times. I finally decided to check out their site. Very plain like Mwave's. In fact it looks EXACTLY the same; same design, same catalog and shopping cart functionality. Same cheap shipping. So I checked their address and then checked Mwave's. Looks like they're right next door to each other.

Could this just be another storefront for Mwave? I didn't see any reviews of it here or at ResellerRatings. Didn't see any mentions in the forums. There wasn't any BizRate, Trust-e, Verisign stuff you like to see when you come into a site (like Mwave has at the bottom.) But their prices were substantially cheaper than Mwave on several things I was looking at. If these were both the same company, it would be great since I could buy cheaper here and still get Mwave's quality service.

Anybody know about these guys or used them before?

Cool deal. It looks like all they carry here are CPUs, RAM, and heatsinks. But a CPU was what I was looking for :)

well, don't blame me if you get ripped off ;)

the nameservers are the same, and the contact is the same... address listed is the same... *shrug*

maybe you should email mwave and ask?

Actually, I won't have to now. Our Network Admin just walked up and told me I could in fact HAVE one of the older spare systems laying around now. :D I'd asked earlier this morning and he said he'd have to think about it. That now eliminates my need for the new CPU. Oh well. Good for future reference though.

I actually wouldn't have saved that much, but it was kind of cool to see a discounted version of Mwave (which already has good prices.) Hopefully, the service would be identical.
