I was wondering if anyone knows if www.xpcgear.com is a good place to buy hardware. They have the best price I can find for a a64 2800 and motherboard I can find. Cheap cases too. Let me know what you think.

Check them out at ResellerRatings.com. Cheaper isn't always better - I've found it's often better to go with Newegg and spare the hassel you might have if you need to return something or get a bad part.

Check out Monarch's combos here.

They have a much higher rating at reseller ratings. Also check out Newegg and zipzoomfly.

Also factor in shipping costs. I did not see what xpgear charges for shipping.

I ordered a new monitor from them Monday night, requested that it be shipped to me at work rather than home. The order was denied - they had a policy of not shipping certain items to addresses other than your credit card billing address. No problem, I could live with it being shipped to my home, so I placed another order. Then noticed that it said "normally ships in 2-3 days", shame on me for not seeing this in the first place but I called them Tuesday morning and they were very helpful and agreed to cancel the order for me immediately, no hassle or bs.

About an hour later, a different person from xpc called me to follow up on my first order that their system had kicked out. He just wanted to make sure I knew what had happened and if there was anything he could do to help.

I love NewEgg as much as anyone else, but I've never had anyone from them call to check up on me. I will definitely consider them in the future and give them another shot, but I'll be sure on whether or not the item is in stock first.
