I've bought several SCSI hard drives from these guys. The delivery has always been on time and the prices are very competitive.

Good Price but you are better off using Amazon or Buy.com. At least those companies seldom charge you 15% restocking fees for a returned product!

This is the worst service I have ever received from an internet business. Four of the items I ordered were not in stock although all but one showed in stock. When I called or e-mailed to get information it was just a run around. No one knew or seemed to care about finding out the status of the order. I called and changed one of the items while talking to Tim on the phone and when I called back the next day I was informed that it was not in stock. Even though I was on the phone confirming the item would be shipped. If you want your order order from somewhere else.

I bought the processor from them because they had a fair rating and excellent prices. I ordered a boxed Xeon CPU. I got exactly what I wanted.  
 
Their website said it was in stock but when I called 3 days later they said it was in transit to their warehouse.  
 
Overall I had a very good experience and I would buy from them again.

I ordered a processor and motherboard in May and ended up needing some help with the set up. I was actually suprised at how cooperative and friendly the technicians were. I recieved everything on time, the prices were good and the service was outstanding...Would definately order from them again!

Excellent customer service. Products delivered exactly as described. Excellent prices.

I just bought a Toshiba DVD-ROM. Great price. I've bought from them before. The one time I had a problem with a product I bought from them, they replaced those items without a problem.

I bought a SCSI hard drive from them...haven't gotten my PC finished to test it yet. But, I can say that it was shipped out and received right on time and as promised. They also had good communication and I didn't have to wonder as to the shipping status. So far so good...I'll update this review once I have my PC finished and can test the HD, which should be sometime this week!  
 
**UPDATE**  
The Hard drive works great and is super fast! I love it! I've seen these HD's for twice the price elswhere...I'm very happy with my purchase with Spartan Tech...highly recommend them!

I placed an order with spartan technologies  
I spoke to a TIM G./ DAVID / AND JIM.  
They told me that the parts would be a  
3-5 day delv. I checked after 3 days.  
asking them about the order and how it was going and they gave me the run around. Now they started telling me that they are looking for the  
parts. They already said that they had them  
before I placed the order. This order was for  
$43,000.00. Now I asked tim can i speek to  
a supervisor he said no and he was going to cancel the order. It seems to me that this company takes the order and then try's to find the parts. Now I had to go back to my customer and tell the the story that they are not getting the parts 3 days later.  
 
I will never ever call this company again.  
 
P.S. All of the people that I spoke to were  
very nasty.

I ordered an old 500 MHz PIII + Heatsink to boost the performance of an aging SMP capable system. They have an 'assembly & burn in' service which they offer, so I dropped a bit of cash on this and accepted the '24 hour testing' they mentioned. So the CPU arrives and unfortunately I end up busy and unable to test it until a month later.... but hey *they've* done the testing haven't they.  
 
When I do upgrade the system it boots fine, but within a short time it shuts down indicating a thermal failure on the new CPU.  
Using any decent piece of software I was able to trigger the failure in 2 minutes - so I can only assume that their extensive testing never lasted longer than 2 minutes.  
 
Now, I'm more than capable of setting up a proper cooling solution, clearly these guys aren't. I'm extremely angry that they charged me for a service which they clearly did not perform. They were the only people I could find with these old processors so if you find yourself needing hte same then sidestep their premium assembly/burn in and do it yourself.

Ordered 2 CPU's from them, and wanted to return them. I wouldn't mind paying the restocking fee, but IF I was told that they wouldn't accept them back I would've been satisfied with that. Instead, the young girl that I asked to call them and get an return authorization for them was completely berated and treated like garbage by Edwin. After calling her stupid for thinking she could return an item, I called back and insisted on speaking with a manager. The manager seemed interested but reading the reviews I see Edwin is still there and up to the good business practices that they hold so high. I would've purchased from them again, but never with such a rude and inconsiderate person working there.

Had a problem with a defective memory chip. Called them up and dropped it off after using the RMA feature on their site. They said they had to test the memory and it would be a few days. The next day they called and told me that it was working fine after testing for 12 hours straight. I asked them to exchange it anyways since the problem went away after removing the chip from my computer. They exchanged it and I have not had a problem since. Kudos to Spartantech and their employees. I live in Illinois and will pay the sales tax to deal with them again.

They did not honor the price that they quoted on www.pricewatch.com and wanted more than a hundred dollars over what they listed the item as.

Item went from ship in 1-2 days, then 1-3 days, then a week later was cancelled without warning or refund. They advertise items they dont have and cant get. BEWARE!  
Horrible communication and business practices.

Great experience. I have bought from Spartan 2 times now. Never had any problems.  
First purchase was a 1GHz PIII.  
Second purchase was 2.4GHz P4, P4PE mobo, 512MB Corsair DDR333.  
All shipped FAST, received in good packaging, nothing DOA.  
I -will- be buying from these guys again.
