McGruber writes "Carl Fiorentino, known to many slashdotters for his regular hyperbole-filled emails advertising 'unbelievable' blowout pricing on memory, storage, other components, and overclocker specials, has been indicted in New York federal court on seven counts of fraud and money laundering charges. Fiorentino allegedly took more than $7 million in bribes and kickbacks in exchange for steering more than $230 million in business to the Taiwanese and California companies that made the payments."

You fucking moron. Read a reply above: They both cost about the same, they both use UPS ground 3-5 shipping, just Illinois to Wisconsin is always a 1 day trip and California/Tennessee/New Jersey (Newegg's main 3) are 3 days minimum. It's just coincidence that I live closers so to just me specifically, TD is faster. How fucking stupid are you? Keep hiding behind your stupid anonymous post, troll.
