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.
