Retailer took my order for an item which the web site claimed "ships in 1-2 days". Several days after the order I get an email saying the item is back-ordered. This alone would be annoying, so while trying to find the item elsewhere, it seemed like there were very few retailers carrying the item. I suspected the item was discontinued and emailed Spartan a day or two later asking for an estimated delivery date. They replied that the item was discontinued. I wonder when they would have contacted me if I hadn't emailed about the delivery date. To their credit, their customer service line was easy to get through to, the rep was friendly, and easily deleted the order.

On Monday I ordered a motherboard  
that was listed at "ship in 1-2 days"  
on their website. That was fine with me.  
On Wednesday, I checked their web  
site which still said "1-2 days".  
I called to check on the status of  
my order, and was told the mobo  
had been discontinued. I asked why  
they had accepted my order on Monday,  
why their website still listed the  
product, and why they waited for me  
to contact them instead of visa versa.  
I give them credit for cancelling the  
order very easily, and they also updated  
their website to remove the mobo  
soon after I called. But I've learned  
not to order anything from from them  
that's not listed as "in stock".  
Living locally, and having previously  
had good experience with Spartan,  
I had requested a will-call pickup.  
They've also started charging for  
will call orders which I found  
annoying, it seems like just a way  
to jack up the price.

I purchased some RDRAM on 6/27 and received it on 6/29 with the cheapest shipping option! Memory worked on arrival. This is a good company to work with, and I will probably buy again from them when I need too.

I've purchased from them before. They have a minimalist approach for their website, but price their items well (demand-driven). My P4 arrived for the quoted price, quickly and in visually excellent condition. They followed through with several emails on the order progress. I feel I can trust this merchant.

ordered slotA 800 for good price, got here in good time. everything went smoothly and works perfectly.

I have been working with Spartan Technologies for almost a month an a half almost constantly. I purchased a motherboard, RAM, a processor, and later on some more RAM. I've got nothing but good things to say about this company. The first board I recieved was immediately defective, but I recieved no problems from Spartan when I returned it. I recieved the replacement which worked for approximately 2 weeks before clunking out with a bad secondary EIDE. Again, Spartan delivered on their 'good service' promise and replaced this board with a smile. I would like to thank Jay (the service manager) and Frank (the tech supervisor) for all of their patience. A happy customer is a returning customer.

Its been a while since I've ordered anything from these guys but now that I'm on reseller ratings to warn others about another reseller, I'll put in my good words about Spartan Tech.  
 
I've ordered RAM from these guys many many times in the past. It was slightly above price for what I'd like, but the speed of shipping and quality of product and service were always well worth it. I return to this site everytime I need a memory order to be put through. These are good people.

Ordered Processor from Spartantech, when I called the next day to make sure the order was being processed, it was on backorder, should be in in about a week. I found another site that had the processor in stock, for a few bucks more, so I placed an order there (PC Progress), and cancelled my order with Spartan. at 1:00am that night, I got an e-mail from spartan, saying that the part had been shipped that day. After a little research, I realized that Spartan and PC Progress are the same company, at least to some extent (Spartan had sent an e-mail regarding an order placed with PC Progress). They list the same address, but different phone numbers. Their websites differ only slightly from each other. Why then was Spartan out of my processor and PC Progress had it in I don't know. Anyway, I ended up with a working processor at a good price and lightning fast shipping (at a reasonable price). Same company or not, I have no problem with the transaction.

Good prices, quick shipment, fast replacement of DOA CPU. What more could I want?

My first order from Spartan Technologies: I ordered a CD-RW burner late on a Thursday afternoon, and it was delivered on Saturday morning priority mail.  
 
Also, the salesperson was very cordial and helpful - characteristics you don't always find anymore. I will gladly deal with them again.

Been ordering from these guys for 4 years now. Their prices are slightly higher then the bottom end prices on pricewatch.com but they handle themselves professionally and are worth a couple of dollars extra.
