I've bought a stack of SCSI hardware from them to do software RAID --
which works great even if it sounds like there's a RAID pixie throwing
gravel around inside the case. But I'm drifting OT now.

I'd give them a good review.  Someone else on ILUG or social@ pointed out
that they were a smidgen over the price, but for the benefits:

  1. decent up-to-date online catalogue

  2. knowledgable & helpful staff, with a Linux clue

  3. quick turnaround

  4. no heavy overseas delivery charges on top

  5. easy to ship defective hw back to, if it doesn't work

I was happy enough.  Anyway the price thing would probably work out as
outweighed by delivery charges, for overseas vendors, IMHO.
