Re: [PLUG] Computer Case recommendations?
|
Can't give you a recommendation on a case, but I certainly can give you
a recommendation on a place. I do most all of my shopping at
directron.com. They were much closer to me when I lived in Louisiana
(they are in Houston?), and now that I live here I get a bit impatient
with transit time. But still... its not really anything to complain
about. And they are extremely fair, have a good selection, and their
site is wonderfully laid out.
