"Pinnacle Micro"

[Extelleron]

I was wondering if anyone had ever dealt with: http://www.pinnaclemicro.com/

Reseller Ratings has only one reviewer who said he wouldnt purchase again. Has anyone on here dealt with them? I'm asking this because while most of their items are very Over priced (X1900XTX for $800-900 anyone?) they have a really good deal on an X1900XT. I dont know if this belongs in this board but cant think of anywhere else to put it.

I don't know anything about them, but if it's to good to be true....

It sure is. I called them up, and apparently the price for the Sapphire X1900XT on their site ($384.14)- is incorrect and the "real price" is $795 lol. Why do these companies even TRY to sell hardware at like $150 above MSRP when you get the exact same product on newegg for $449?

I do not know about their retail business, but they have been around since the 80's and had 130MB optical cartridges on the market about the time 2X CDs hit. I have a drive I am not using in the 'stuff' pile in the basement. Their hardware was pretty straight forward.
