That's not the only reason I buy at NewEgg. In my experience, their customer service is the best I have ever seen.
Examples:
1. My first purchase from NewEgg was from a brand new email account. 2 hours later, it had spam. I complained to NewEgg, and they apologized and gave me some swag -- EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT (coincidental timing on a dictionary attack).
2. Several years later, I purchased a rackmount LCD/Keyboard from them. The vendor put the wrong gender cables in the box -- don't ask me how. NewEgg, at their own expense, shipped me the correct cables, without even asking me to return the bad ones.
I originally bought from NewEgg on a buddy's recommendation for price. I now recommend them to others for their service.
Look at all the comments here. Reputation is a major thing.
If a company has a reputation for doing right by its customers, as long as addresses a situation like this, it will be OK.
Now compare this to the reputation that Fry's or Tiger Direct had (don't know if either has improved). Would they get the benefit of the doubt this way?
Just goes to show that doing good is just good business.

Nice Conan O'Brien reference.
I believe that my sig (which I've had for years) indicates exactly what you are saying.
Why was the 2d Circuit ruling on a California case? CA is in the 9th Circuit.
Yep. I infinitely prefer the Springsteen versions of "Blinded by the Light" and of "For You".
Greetings from Asbury Park is a great album, with some really good tracks on it.
Did you have a Madman bummer drummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat?
That depends on if you're using an Intel Magritte or not.

Love it:

So I don't have to hear "OSCAR OSCAR OSCAR!!!"
It's just the MAFIAA stroking themselves, and trying to make the rest of us believe that we care!
Probably customized the OpenSSH source. It's not that hard.

I ran IE7 on Win2K. It was IE8 that wasn't offered.
Dammit. You beat me to it. I was busy doing Real Work(tm), or I'd have posted a very similar item.

None of them are from my state, but it doesn't matter, because Boxer and Feinstein are in Disney's pocket anyways.
