    Thumbs up Comments, Suggestions on my next newegg order

    In a month or so, I'll make a quick trip to the USA so I want to make my order in a couple of days.

    -Linksys EZXS88W EtherFast 8-Port 10/100 Workgroup Switch
    $47
    hate to go to lan parties and the host only has a 8 port hub 10mbps, beside it'll be a nice upgrade to the 4 port hub at the office

    -Thermaltake All COPPER Heatspreader / Heatsink for DDR and SD RAM
    $12
    I only have one stick of sdram ram on my mobo, and it's the max capacity (512MB) it can handle, so with this thermaltake package I can use the heatsink sticks on the ram instead on the videocard

    -Memorex CD-R 700MB 50 Pack 48x Model
    $17
    Usually Best Buy has good specials of the week on CDR, but I can't take my chance if they don't. Good CDR are expensive in Mexico

    -Newegg.com Glossy Logo Sticker
    $5
    Newegg Sticker for the case

    I was thinking on some round ide cables:
    Antec Cobra A26 Round 133 ATA Cable Model 77226 Retail
    $12 each, no discount if you buy more... expensive, 26" though

    VANTEC ROUND, 18-Inch, ATA 66/100/133 IDE Cable. 3-Connector. ( CLEAR ). Retail 18"
    $7.5
    if you buy 3 or more, you get free shipping

    I would need 4 cables (not counting floppy).
    I have a dvdrom, cdrw, internal zip and 2 hdd connected to a raid card so each hdd needs it's own cable

    I have a full tower (six 5.25' external driver)

    If possible, get your IDE cables from www.svc.com. They have a bigger selection and much better prices

    Is the delivary fast, do they use FedEX (don't care what they use, just curious)? I don't mean 2nd day orders or the like but the cheapeast shipping method. My experience with newegg is no more than 1 week for my order to arrive.

    I'll make the order in 5-7 days

    I have found that SVC usually takes a day or two longer than newegg. Granted they shipments are traveling across the United States. I would say an order placed on monday will arrive Thursday or Friday. Newegg usually gets here Wednesday or Thursday.
