Not directly, but I had a friend whose ram order was mysteriously "lost"
the day after they placed it. The ram price had just gone up by about
$20, and of course Tigerdirect would not give them the old price... That
and the couple of people I have known with Tigerdirect computers found
them to be pretty cheap in quality.
I have found www.newegg.com and www.zipzoomfly.com to have pretty good
service.
