Exclamation Wow, is this for real?

http://www.directron.com/vist64hbd1pk.html It is 88.99 USd I am looking at right now. Even cheaper than my 32 XP home and this thing is 64 bits!!

Anyone purchase anything from this site yet? Seem so far even cheaper than Newegg and that would be some fans and os.

Newegg has it for $6 more. It's been a little while but I have ordered from Directron before. They used to be the best for cases and still are pretty good. Their rating at Reseller Rating is still pretty good.

They seem to have good fans, good selection and availability. Their Video Card are a bit pricy though.

We purchase from Directron on a weekly basis and have had very good service from them. Been doing business with them for about 3 years now.

There are custom GUI that do the same thing I think.
