Directron HTPC

Just found this computer:

http://www.directron.com/multimedia-pc.html

So spreading the info. No idea who these people are, so buyer beware.

I've ordered some parts from them in the past. It's a pretty good place.

Yeah my current HTPC case (Link) i got from them and it was decently priced (although the price has gone down since then) and they shipped it within almost 4 hours of me placing the order.

I will say this...I order lots of stuff on the web, CPU coolers, Cables, Fans, etc. 'FrozenCPU' gets my vote as the best place to order from. Good prices and prompt service...top notch.

Directron is a small mom and pop run out of the outskirts of Houston's "new" Chinatown.. I'd actually bought stuff from them before I knew they were local to Houston and I could just drive over to pick up stuff from them.

I've had nothing but positive experiences with them...I do think that their web page is less than useful however. One positive though is that they do have a rather extensive list of cases to pick from.

I have mixed but overall good results with them.

For bigger ticket items (over 20$) they have been outstanding.

For smaller items, they some times have an annoying tendency to ship a similar item when they are out of stock. Sometimes these items vary slighty from what was ordered and it can cause problems (although when called, support handled it well)

Thumbs up

I'm in total agreement. Almost all of my systems have been built from equipment ordered from Directron. They are quick, have incredible pricing and wonderful support. Anyone looking to build or buy, I give them 10 Stars **********
