is this a good place to shop for hardware

has anyone bought stuff from there? cause i cant find what i want anywhere else

 

well, it doesn't have much of a reputation on resellerratings (http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1450.html), so i can't really say i recommend that store just yet. but what are you looking for anyhow?

i know they have them at newegg but new egg wont let me order over the phone .. and ive been jipped too many times over the net so i refuse to just put my cc # in some website or send out a money order blindly ... i must talk to a human being in order order something


and thnx for that link

 

well, i have about 1000x more trust for newegg than the other store. I've bought from them many times before, and i've NEVER had a single problem with them. and on an even more serious note, i will trust the website a lot more than i trust a person with a credit card number. it's safer, and studies have shown that it is in fact safer online than to hand a person your credit card.

if you don't mind me asking, why do you want that particular memory module?

 

just to be different i guess ... i like the ram sinks .. and they got good reviews beating out corsiar sometimes

i dunno newegg totally screwed up my order so ... maybe i judged them too harshly just on one 300$ purchase? oh ... and i have a debit card ... which is different than a cc .. i know i said cc but it's the same thing when you order something

im thinking i might just get some overpriced corsiars from tigerdirect

then again HMcomputers arent too far from me ... well about 5 hours ... so if they jip me i could always show up at their doorstep and raise some hell

 

yeah, i guess you were unlucky enough to get screwed by newegg:-/ what can one do go give newegg another shot; i'm sure they wont' disappoint you two times in a row.

well, yeah, debit cards are different. i don't like them for the fact that the bank won't really cover your ass like a credit card company will, but then, with a bank, your call won't get routed to india.
