I had ordered some arctic alumina adhesive and a Vantec Iceberq 4 Pro for a video card project I was doing. The Iceberq Pro was SUPPOSED to fit a geforceFX 5600 (according to the Vantec info on Jab-tech's website), but it did'nt. Support was very helpfull for a return, but didnt reply to a measurement question on the fan. I decided to keep the fan, and just order the Iceberq 4(non-pro) that I found out WILL fit (I had to do some research on my own). RESULT: It's Vantec's poor info, but in the future, Jab-tech should put the fan's pin measurement on thier site to avoid this in the future (like I found on another retailer's site).

Ordered a christmas gift on the 19th with the idea It PROBABLY would make it on time (2day shipping). Dec 23rd still showed it "in the warehouse", so I e-mailed them. Got a generic responce about them trying to fill orders for the holiday..blea..blea.... Dec 24th-Then I got a real reponce stating it was unavailable from the manufacurer, and the order has been cancelled. Thankx for nothing. I had to fight the malls to get it myself, and learned a lesson. You want something this close....dont order from buy.com....Im not sure about other times of the year.

I've bought from them a number of times, and liked them every time.ORDER 1:great, ORDER 2: Bought $375 worth of stuff....2 cases with psu, 2 motherboards, 2 cpu's + heatsink/fans, 2 cdrw's, and a modem. Got it fast, and in perfect order. Only had one problem....one psu (generic brand) died after 4 months. I sent an email, and POOF! New psu in the mail ((fast)). Order 3 :great. I'm liking ComputerGeeks more, and more.

I ordered a sodimm 128mb for an old laptop my mother has. I had no problem getting an answer to a question i had(phone). the order went smoothly, and the memory works fine. It shipped taped to the inside of a box, but was not harmed. The price was right.

I've ordered from Sofistic twice now and havent had a problem. The only downside to them that I can see is their slow shipping. My first order was an inexpensive case w/ pwr supply. My next order was a 60gig HD(got a better model than I thought I was going to get),a 75ft cat5e cable ( got a 100FT), and a blue orb fan. I feel they are a decent company if you dont mind the wait.

I ordered a stick of generic ddr2100 512mb from them. It came packaged ok, with a reasonable ship time for cross country. Problem is, its DOA. I e-mailed thier tech support ( non-existant) with no replies. I then began e-mailing them daily for a week. Then I tried the phone. I talked to "Henry", who said tech support was sick.Is there only one guy who does tech-support?? And for that long?? I told him the memory was coming back, along with all my documentation, and a letter explaining the situation. He said "tech-support will probably be here by the time it takes to get here.". I hope so! I am awaiting a resolution on this, but reading the ratings here does'nt give me much hope.******* Well, after waiting about a month, I called cross country to them to see what the deal was(if I did'nt call WHO KNOWS how long they would have dragged this out). The guy I talked to was very helpful, and sent out new memory. I'm all set now, but the wait time has made me decide never to order from them again.
