I've been negotiating with a local vendor on a custom built. We had gotten done with the main system and everything was dunky dorey. Then I asked him to add a 18g 10k rpm scsi HD and 29160 controller to the quote. You can get the combo retail on the Net for $500-$550. He comes come with a new quote adding well over $750.
Are some of these guys locked into suppliers that are giving them low prices on common items but high ones for power products?. Or he is just trying to screw me? Labor to stick it in a PCI slot, mount the drive and configure can't be worth much.
(please don't tell me to do it myself <g>)
