personally I never heard of them, do a google search using milegroup reviews as keywords. You will find info on them.

They've got no reviews at all at ResellerRatings (http://www.resellerratings.com/seller8103.html). Plus they're a bit expensive, IMO.

thanks for the info... I cant seem to find anything on them, and after some price comparison, I found I can save about 500 dollars building this system myself... I think thats what I will do.

anyone ever buy parts off of ebay? I was looking at outpost.com, and other such websites, but ebay is pretty tempting being so cheap... I know that I have to watch what I buy...

Yeah, everyone in the known universe buys off eBay.
If this is your first build, I suggest buying from a store such as NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/) because what you buy off eBay is yours (whether the part fits, works, or not). A nice store with a friendly return policy is worth the extra 50¢ you'll spend.

I, too would suggest buying from somewhere like NewEgg, TigerDirect, or ZipZoomFly instead of eBay. You can't exchange things you buy there, and you don't always know what you are going to get.

I guess I'm not from the known universe. :(

That wasn't in dispute.

I agree with all the others. If its your first computer, stay away from ebay. You never know what you be getting and theres usually no warranty.
