Buyer beware.
I've talked to some of these out fints in New York from time to time.
If they don't sound right, I don't deal with them.
Here are some mail order sources I have dealt with and trust.
PC Connection (NH) www.pcconnection.com
MircoWarehouse (NJ) www.warehouse.com
J & R (NYC) www.jandr.com
I just love cliches.

Good luck.
