Don't forget www.directron.com which also has some great tutorials.
By the way www.svc.com has the best price on lighting, lighted fans, and other modding supplies

Besides double posting, why did you provide a link to a cell phone accessory site? Has nothing to do with computers, it's spam.

Lightbulb Good business practices

www.extremecase.com

They have limited choices compared to some places I have seen, but then it all depends on what you are looking for.

I was a little leary of them at first because I didn't get an email confirmation or call on my order. So I called a couple days later (after the weekend to make sure they had time to process) and got a very sincere apology for no call or email as "someone should have called you, the power supply was on backorder and the truck just came in today."

Satisfied me. Couple days go by and still no confirmation so I called to get a tracking number and then another very sincere apology. This time, "the fork truck smashed the case unloading the pallet, so what I will do is upgrade to another case (looked at it online while I was talking to him) and also upgrade the power supply and PROMISE to have it packed and sent today." They both arrived the next morning.

I say all of this to say this... if people are willing to make things right in that kind of situation, those are the kind of people I want to do business with. I got $260 worth of case/psu for the original price of $175! And only took like one day longer than I had anticipated.
