I normally do not do this, but we were needing a couple i7/860 processors plus a few additional Intel G2 80GB SSD drives quickly for the 860 review and for the expanded motherboard test suite. Normally, we would go to the larger e-tailers like Newegg or others for these items. Well, I was not satisfied with the pricing or availability on either item, so I hit up Ben at TankGuys to see what he could do for us.

Let's just that TankGuys came through with flying colors. Not only did they ship the items before Newegg had them in stock, but their prices were extremely competitive. We spent $269.99 for our i7/860 compared to $299.99 ($289.99 today) at Newegg. Also,the Intel X25-M G2 80GB SSD was $349.99 at Newegg ($309.99 today) compared to $269.99 at TankGuys when we placed our orders. So, it does pay to shop around and sometimes the smaller guys might just be able to offer better prices than the large resellers.
