I found a website called "tigerdirect.com". Am I > tossing the dice? anybody dealt with this place? Not directly, but I had a friend whose ram order was mysteriously "lost" the day after they placed it. The ram price had just gone up by about $20, and of course Tigerdirect would not give them the old price... That and the couple of people I have known with Tigerdirect computers found them to be pretty cheap in quality. I have found www.newegg.com and www.zipzoomfly.com to have pretty good service.
