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.

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)

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 **********
