where to buy amd barebones?
I'm looking for advice on online retailers to buy from. Looking to get
an amd x2 4400-based system, and all of the retailers from pricewatch seem to be a little shady (smksuperstore, supergooddeal, pcparts.com, magicmicro.com). Does anyone have any suggestions of reliable online retailers to buy from? or maybe one of the aforementioned retailers is legit? I just don't feel like dealing with wrong parts swapped in, damaged shipping, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are looking to get a custom system then MonarchComputer.

You can also check resellerratings.com to get an idea of the "goodness" or "badness" of alot of online retailers.

I actually use reseller ratings a lot, but I'm even suspect of some of
those ratings. I feel like it's easy to go in and rate yourself. Maybe I'm paranoid.

I've bought three computers from him and he's great to deal with. Look at HIS reseller ratings and you'll see. Also, read several of the comments about him. What comes through is how communicative he is with customers and potential customers. I think his prices may be on the high side, but then you're paying for the reliability and trustworthyness of the vendor. "Doug" wrote in message oups.com...

If you are looking for parts then Newegg is the preferred source. If you are looking to get a custom system then MonarchComputer. I concur, Newegg for parts, Monarch for custom systems.

I feel like an idiot, I concurred with myself. I didn't notice how old the original thread was an I didn't bother to look at the responder so I didn't see that it was me.

Nothing to be ashamed of, General. Some of the most riveting conversations of my life are ones I had with myself. The people walking by the park bench I was on may have thought otherwise, but what do THEY know?
