For the most part what I've bought there has been OK.  But I never buy the 
stuff with the "return" sticker on it.  Frys' liberal return policy has its 
downside.  For motherboards I usually order over the web.  I like mwave.com 
because their prices are competitive and for an extra $9 they assemble and 
test the bundle.  I would stay away from their generic RAM, though.
