============================  
I sent the parts back to them, however I havent heard from them. I cannot reach them via phone or multiple email address from there website. I wish I would have seen this page before I purchased from them. Well im only out 55 dollars, but im gonna write a formal complaint and see what happens.  

Comp-Recyclers ripped me off too. I ordered an IBM power supply by the part number and was shipped an  
incorrect part; COD. Now Comp-Recyclers is not returning my emails.  

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING FROM THESE CROOKS. I gusess I am the latest to be taken. I saw their web site and it looked good. An auction and a store like Ebay for computer parts. The prices looked great, almost but not quite, "too good to be true". I bought 13 hard drives from 1.6 gig to 45 gig. NONE!! not even one worked. Some were so damaged it looked like lighting had hit them. Most would not even spin up. I also bought 10 CD-Rom drives and guess what NOT EVEN ONE worked. Only a few of the hard drives were as big as I paid for both of the 45's were 20's. etc. The 233 MhZ computer is a 200 and the CD-RW won't even spin or open. The hard drive will not work either. The cover is for another computer and doesn't even fit the front panel. They forced a screw in the back to hold it on.  
 
I wish I had read this ratings forum before I made an order. They only accept US Postal money orders or checks. No credit cards or Pay-pal... that should have been a give away. Lets get a suit against them. Please email me if you want to help out with it. awilli7333@aol.com

Veteran Criminals: Comp-Recycle  
After at least a month after ordering from the web site, I was getting impatient from not receiving my order, not to mention the violation of federal trade law. So I tried to e-mail them using at least 3 different e-mails that I could find associated with this business, to no avail. I tried to call for weeks at all hours of the day and no one would answer. So I filed a complaint with the federal trade commision's division for e-commerce. Well, about 2 months later(about a week ago) suprise, suprise, here comes a package that I had given up hope of receiving and had more or less forgotten about. Not sure if complaining to the feds had anything to do with it or not. I was delighted at first, hooking up my hardware. The hard drives would not even partition, let alone format. The CPU fan was useless as well and is obvious by looking at it that the fan was cracked, and after further inspection by removing the sticker on top, burned up, melted! After doing some belated searching on the internet for "comp-recylce", I found out that I'm one of the many that have been ripped off by this business, and if you have found this testimonial, you probably have too. Please contact me badnazar@icqmail.com so I can add you to a growing list of individuals, so we can have many testemonials in which to prosecute.

good luck to all

OMFG, I can't believe these guys are still in business. Their web site still works, even after five years of complaints posted here. It seems to be mostly a fairly active auction site now, but they still have a store linked to it. Their stock features a lot of junk and other random obsolete stuff, and, while it has some dead links (mostly pictures), appears to be mostly functional. They only take personal checks and USPS COD. There is a phone number listed, different number than the disconnected one, but same area code. The e-mail is a hotmail address. I can't believe somebody hasn't shut them down, or that they haven't changed names/websites at least. I mean, they have been ripping off people for more than five years now, judging from the comments here.  

One CPU was 533 instead of 733, the other was DOA. Numerous telephone calls went unanswered, numerous emails went the same path.  
Finally filed a complaint with the St. Louis PD Cybercrimes unit (great response!), who passed it on the the Carrollton,TX PD the same day, then filed an IFCC complaint online with the FBI. I am filing in the local small claims court to get a judgement against them in order to remove them from all the serach engines. If everyone did this, scams like this would not happen!
