<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I used to buy parts from
General Nanosystems, but soon got tired of paying 6.5% sales tax and
now I buy everything from Newegg. Micro Center's prices are really
competitive and in some cases beating Newegg's prices. You'll have to
figure out what's cheaper: sales tax or shipping. For example, it's
cheaper to get a OCZ 120GB Vertex SSD from Micro Center than Newegg. A
couple months ago, Micro Center had better pricing on Intel Core I7
920's compared to Newegg.<br>
<br>
As far as customer service, the checkout process at GNS vs MC is about
the same... slow.<br>

<pre wrap="">I've had good experiences with Nanosystems.
Good prices on many things, and the only local source for some parts. They
seem to have good answers to tech questions.
Sometimes the front-line guys look a little exhausted, but the service has
been good.

<pre wrap="">Charlie,
My cousin Khalid (Cal) owns the shop and isnt on this mailing list. I am
wondering if you could share your last 3 experiences with GNS? Were the
employees rude or indifferent? Were the products not available? What
happened the last few times?
If you would rather not share it in public, I would understand. I have
noticed problems at his company too and have been wanting to get
feedback from the community.
If anyone has any feedback good or bad, I will note it down and get it
straight to him. For over 14 years, he has worked hard to keep his
customers happy and he would very much want to know whats going on.
Thanks,
Asim

<pre wrap="">I've bought my last several computerrs from General Nanosystems , but
the last 3 times I've been in there I've had bad experiences with them.
Can anyone suggest other good places to get a computer that are
Linux-friendly? I'll need to do dual boot with Windows for my work,
so I'll need the system plus the installation media to install myself.
Thanks,
Charlie
