Paradise is right around the corner. I still drop buy and check pricing,
but they're nothing special and haven't been since when I bought an AMD
586 from 'em. And I had similar impressions of their customer service.
When they made me sign all sorts of disclaimers and spent more time
covering their asses than helping me, I decided to go for price alone.
Their crappy attitudes didn't help much either.
