Two things :

Mushkin rules!

hehe

And buy.com has got one strike against them.

I just got through their circuitous system of returns for my LS-120. Sort of a hassle, but I won't cry about it too much.

However, what I will cry about is this. I ordered three or four items with them for this new pooter, I was careful to order IN STOCK items.

Two days later i get an email that my sound card was in fact NOT in stock.
ok.

I get my order together from tech store. I have it one click away from execution. I am on the phone with a buy.com guy, as it said in the email i could cancel that way. I cancel. I ask him a second time JUST to be XTRA sure. "you canceled the Diamond monster 300mx blah blah blah?" yup he sez cancelled.

Click I fire off the tech store order.

now saturday i get an email from buy.com
