I just tonight, placed my order first order with him. Great prices and glad to be supporting TankGuys. I haven't even received my order from him. Yet and i would have no restraint (well besides being broke now ) from ordering from him again.

I've never ordered from him, but he is a very friendly and nice guy.

Pick up some of that team xtreme RAM while you're at it. It's nothing short of robbery for the price he offers it at

Most of our customers really only purchase CPUs/Mobos/Memory, so it's not really worth it for us to stock and/or list lots of video cards.

So just curious do you run this buisness from your house or do you guys have a mini warehouse?

Also where do you get your procs? What do you pay for a single proc since you buy in some kind of volume.

Both. We have a warehousing location, but since it's my business, I've also been known to "work" from my home office, living room, or even lying in bed at night when my wife wants to read and won't turn the light off

We buy our inventory from the same places any other reseller does - the various authorized distributors. ASI, TechData, Ingrammicro, D&H, etc. Pricing greatly depends on who we buy from, in what quantities, and payment method.

I can vouch for them. They sold me an e6600 L629F that did 4ghz on air. I ran it at 3.6ghz 1.4v 24/7 for 8 months and it was perfectly solid.

The beauty of ordering from them is that they will list a batch code for a chip. I just ordered a second e8400 from them this morning.
