Try MajorGeeks.com good place for computer software.

I've had good luck with Tiger Direct... reasonable prices (I make a habit of online comparison shopping), prompt delivery...

My company orders through tiger direct (aka global computers) and like you said never a problem and always quick delivery.

We pay regular ground shipping and handling chargers and almost always get our delivery in 2 business days.

That's exactly how it worked for me a few months back when I bought my HP DVD burner...

My next purchase through them is gonna be one of those Saitek illuminated keyboards, so that I can see the keys in low light situations... my PC's set up in my bedroom, and I prefer to keep it dark (so that I can sleep during the day)... I'll be getting an annual bonus (not a big one) the end of May, I've got some of it earmarked for that one...

I have several websites that sell computer equipment bookmarked, beside Tiger Direct there's Newegg, Jinco, Directron and CDW...

Yes I have ordered through New Egg and received good service from them as well.

I only had one problem with tiger but that was when they were switching over to a new software for their orders and inventory a few years back.

Funny thing about keyboards. I still have and use the same keyboard I got back when the computer was top of the line at 166mhz cpu :laugh2:

Keyboard still works fine and even though I have gotten new computers, monitor, mouse and other parts over the years I just never felt the need for another keyboard.

This keyboard even has the old plug in jack so I had to get a adapter for it.

The only time I have changed keyboards in the last 5 yrs was when someone dumped a whole cup of hot chocolate across my desk. :mad:

Oh that would suck. Been lucky not to spill anything on mine.
