    n/m...well, yeah...how discriminating are we being before adding a site to the list? i'm sure some people may have had a bad dealing with any company mentioned already, so what standards are we using to filter the list? I am personally biased against buyxtremegear(buyxg), but someone else might love them...how will you decide taz and others?

    Well for what its worth....I ordered a Radeon 9700 Pro and Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 speakers from one of the aforementioned companies above and both items had to be sent back to the manufacturers for exchange due to problems with proper function. During that 3-4 week period every trip to Best Buys was a frustrating experience seeing boxes of those items in stock for only 20-40$ more. I could've been gaming during that period and has made me a little more cautious about ordering from discounters. I understand that these things happen, just wanted to throw in my .02cts!!

    We won't decide, thats for the consumer. We added the Be Advised to check Resellerratings but thats up to the consumer. I only wanted to provide a thread to list Online Stores that you have had good experiences with. Good Luck and Purchase Wisely is my advice..
