No.

Then again, they don't ship to Canada, so that might just be why ;)

Asus P5B
The USB system on the damn thing is shot. Only 1 port out of 10 work. Strange thing is if you plug the device in one of the 9 and restart the computer it will work then. But unplug it and try to plug it back in and no. Whats the point of USB if you can't hot swap??

I'm guessing they are swamped sending out Vista orders. They shipped all of them today.

Yup. A new TV tuner. Then UPS incorrectly routed it to a location 366 miles away, in the wrong state, which delayed it by at least 2 days - assuming it arrives tomorrow.

Nothing recently, (Seagate 250 Gb SATA drive in December) and as always, their service is "Eggsellent"...Placed the order Saturday night, shipped on Monday, received it on Wednesday. They get at least 90% of my computer related buys.

Spent many thousands over the years... can't beat their customer service! :)

Most recently 2 x 500gb WD SATA2 HD's ... (had to RMA the crap-quality Rosewill E-SATA enclosures though ... only worked via USB, E-SATA was useless)

Newegg's probably the only place I feel close to 100% safe from ordering mistakes like out of inventory, wrong order, defective parts problems just because they make it so easy to correct problems...not that they often have any problems to begin with.

And it always makes me happy knowning it will often get here the day after next with basic shipping.

I use newegg a lot, but not quite exclusively. Service has always been top-notch, but you can find nearly comparable service with better prices elsewhere. If newegg's within a couple bucks, I don't mind, but some items they're blow out of the water. For newer builders/buyers, I recommend them pretty exclusively, as they are so easy to deal with if you're not used to the difficulties that can come from ordering defective parts.

I pretty much use Newegg exclusively now.

Back in the day when I was a poor high school/college student, I would always go to pricewatch to get the cheapest parts possible. Now that I have a little money in my pocket, I only stick with Newegg.

Oh yea, I recently ordered and received a 1GB Duel channel kit.

Just ordered a vx2025wm and a logitech wireless keyboard for my dad. They seemed a bit slower than normal this time, but no big deal.

i got it last monday and it is ridiculously HUGE! :Q

i got cut from that when i tried to put screws on the motherboard. (i pulled the motherboard out to replace the heatsink fan.) the temps dropped by 10 degrees. it's now running at 32c idle and it barely goes over 38c load. i'm 50 times satisfied than my stock heatsink fan which ran at 41c idle and 60c load. i took out the fan duct for my video card and the temps dropped to 43c from 56c (idle.)

i'm on my way to order two yate loon 120mm fans. the stock 120mm fans are loud, gonna blame lian-li. :D

Newegg FTW. The last thing I ordered was Prey Collector's Edition for $20 shipped.

I want to get a Samsung SATA DVD burner soon.

Last thing I bought was last week and it was a new PC V1100 Black Lian-Li case to replace my File/Media Server's aging Xaser III V2000A. I also purchased 4x long SATA cables to go with it, but I ended up not needing them (unlike I would have with my newer machine if I used more than 2 HDDs), but better safe than sorry!

My next purchase will be a copy of Office 2007 Home/Student Edition, Office 2007 Outlook Standard (No Home/Student :() and another copy of Vista Ultimate 32-bit OEM. Then after that I'll probably get another 750GB Seagate drive to turn my F/M Server into 3x 750 + 74GB Raptor instead of some extra 300GB drive being mixed in there. The items may get jumbled up as to when I order them, especially since I could just install Vista on that machine now and reset the activation for 120 days :laugh: (of course buying a key before it's up).

I'm trying to organize it based on need, but I don't really need any of them. Although I'd like a legit copy of Office for once, but since I'm not in college anymore, it's not imperative.
