Pacific Solutions @ SE 51st & Division I highly recommend them. I've bought everything from motherboards to memory to power supplies and cases to video cards to hard drives and DVD drives from them.
Right now I'm running two SATA drives (200 and 250 gig. Seagates) that I bought as refurbished and after 2 years they are trouble free. The same with an MSI/NVidia N9600GSO PCI-E video card. Refurbed and absolutely no problems. In six years, I've had to return only two products, a 550 watt power supply whose fan went manic within a week and an MSI mobo whose CMOS died in a similar timespan. Both times Pacific Solutions gave me a replacement, no questions asked. I'm a newly confirmed vocal Linux fan so they know they won't make any money off me with Microsoft/Windows software sales but I still get top notch service and advice. I've also had good luck with ENU but as Pacific Solutions fulfills all my needs and is literally within walking distance I stick with them. Just one customer's opinion but as I have building my own systems since the late '80s it should count for something.
