    They seem to be $10 cheaper than everyone else for memory upgrades and hard drives (at least the seagate momentus and hitachi 7k100 that I have been researching). Shipping is reasonable too. Has anyone ordered from these guys in the past?

    Yes, but their return policy sucks. If there's a problem with something you buy, you usually have to deal with the manufacturer. I've never had a problem with them not delivering, though.

    I buy from them because their prices are good and I live within the one-day delivery zone for UPS ground shipments from their Illinois warehouse.

    Yes computer cases a couple of times and other various things, the prices are great. Unfortunately shipping always seems high, but it balances out and is usually still cheaper tahn the egg.

    BTW: I got a damaged case once and they replaced no problem and quickly.

    I ordered a power supply tester from them and some case screws. They came super fast in the mail. I would order from them again.

    I've ordered from them and also received my order really fast. I didn't have a problem with the merchandise, so I don't know about their return policy.
