I agree. TCWO is a great online store. Ordered an Athlon 850, K7T Pro 2-A, Case, PS. All have been great, and flat rate shipping of 6.50 when I bought (about 6 weeks ago). If you bought the HS and Fan, I did (for the warranty), it works rather well, I haven't replaced it, you can find its specifications at link

TCWO is a great vendor, but just buy a $47 duron 650, and overclock it to 1 gig.

not to mention great shipping rates. But sometimes it takes them a while to process orders, but nonetheless great customer service

I got my Duron from Buy.com--that's when the top speed was 700mhz---I didn't even know they had a 850mhz yet!

Not a bad deal, but a Tbird 750 for $76 + $9.99 shipping is gonna be a little faster. I ordered 1 last week when they were $72 and also got a Duron 700 for $46. I have had good dealings with this company. Past threads indicate poor shipping practices in the past. Everything I have received from them has come well packed in a box.

How are their prices on Express shipping(ie overnight...two day) I need to put together a system FAST. Their prices are decent and I wouldn't mind trying them out.

enginjon,

If I read your system specs correctly, you have your tcwo 850 oc to 1001 w/the $9 fan? Not too bad. I was thinking it was worth it just for the extra warranty, but if it does a decent job, then all the better.

the $9 buck fan and h/s includes a fan that runs at almost 7k rpm.
its not quiet.

i like this site because they dont make money on shipping.

i have built 2 servers with parts from tcwo and my last 3 computers.
all i get at other places are Epox motherboards and 3ware raid cards.
and a couple of 64mb video cards for 2 boxes.

this site has shipped all of my orders within 1 day and i have
always had ups show up within 5 days up here in Wisconsin.

Good Company.

I live by TCWO so it's nice to be able to pick up reasonably priced computer parts and not have to wait.....but the sales tax.

KeNDoG, no flame meant here but I personally have never gotten a DOA processor and most of the ones that I see that are dead (ones I don't install) are because the user did not have the fan mounted properly (if at all) or chipped the die. Even if the CPU was DOA, this is the vendors fault because..... (finish the sentence).

See what I mean?

Try their custom CASES with 300W p/s. Good case and excellant p/s.
At that time (last July) was free shipping for over $xx.
Good prices. Received within 1 week.

They charged 15% restock and double shipping on a DOA CPU, with a fan I didn't need. Florida voters....

I just got an e-mail that I need to call them about my credit card information. That seems odd ...

So people can not fraudlently use other people's credit cards and have product shipped to a different address than the &quot;bill to&quot; address, it is normal to need to have the shipping address added to the credit card information.

If your shipping address is not the same as your bill to address this explains that.

I run into this alomost everytime I use online companies and have recently been frustrated with the fact that I have recently moved and therefore my credit card company does not have my new address in their system yet. I can't even include my NEW ADDRESS as a ship to address when I use PayPal to pay for e-Bay auctions because the new address is not &quot;authorized&quot; by the bank. Grr... :|
