I am thinking of buying somethings from Mwave. and I am not sure if I should give my cc #'s to them.
Are they reputable and how does one go about finding out.. surely there is a online vendor better business bureau
Any bits of data you have that would shed some light on my delima would be appreciated

I have spent a couple of thousand with them in the past few years and I would highly recommend them....great customer service and very honest..not cheap with prices and shipping but they are fair..I am looking at buying some other components from them as well if I dont end up getting an Xbox

Before newegg, which I hear is really just another part of Mwave, Mwave was very big as the place to go on Anandtech. I have bought and used my credit card there and got great service and have had no subsequent problem. I just wish they weren't in California so I wouldn't have to pay tax.

Mwave is extremely reputable. They're so good, Newegg stole their web design :)

No, Newegg is not in any way affiliated with Mwave. They really did steal Mwave's web design.

ResellerRatings should be used, but, I'll add that a Friend and I have ordered from them a few times with no problems. I'd go with them or Newegg depending on price.

I've used Mwave many times too... It is interesting that... I think Mwave, and Newegg use the same distributer, They part seem to come from the same warehouse in City of Industry, CA...

I've done almost $3k worth of business with Mwave over the past year, and have never had a single problem. Unless you can get a certain part for far cheaper somewhere else, I highly recommend Mwave.

Another thumbs up for Mwave from me! I've only placed one order with them, but I got great service, and fast shipping. I would do business with them again.

I still like MWave more than Newegg. MWave has EXCELLENT support. It would not be possible for anyone to have better support from what I've seen. MWave gets a 10/10 from me!

I don't think so... i've been to mwave since i always do will call... they have their own big ass warehouse... and i didn't see any newegg building around... they're kinda far actually... maybe about 20 minutes apart.

Mwave will call sucks. You pay 5 buck so you can sit around for a hour as they slowly gather your parts. :|
