"I bought a Shuttle motherboard, and two sticks of their cheapest PC133 128MB RAM.
The mobo was fine, but the RAM was faulty causing the system to suddently freeze up at random times. After two weeks, we replaced the RAM with PNY from Best Buy.
By then it was too late to return the RAM to banana, so I was SOL and out of $50."
"Purchased several items so i could build a computer for a friend. I was glad to see all items arrived on time and nothing missing. Good prices, first time i purchased anything from them, usually i stick with just a few companies but thay had a good deal on a combo. Glad i tried them out."
"Ordering was quick and easy. Prices competitive. Everything was delivered on time and in good condition. I will definitely order form BananaPC again.
(The name is a little weird, but you will get over it)"
"Since memory costs are at the lowest I've seen in quite awhile, I checked pricewatch.com for low cost PC2700 DDR SDRam -- I didn't want anything generic, but didn't want to pay for Mushkin either. I'd never heard of BananaPC.com before but they had a great price on Inferion DIMMS. I checked resellerratings and found that they seem to do right by people.
So I went ahead and order 1 512Meg stick on Saturday 3/8/03 -- recieved order confirmation on Monday 3/10/03 with their toll free number if I had problems and a direct link to the UPS tracking of my package. Package arrived on time and chip was as promised: 512Meg stick of Inferion DIMM.
The only real problem I have with BananaPC.com -- and it's not a HUGE problem -- is that it's not evident that BananaPC.com is a division of Wintec Industries. Nothing on the BananaPC.com web site indicates the affiliation -- but I find it reasuring that BananaPC.com is backed by a big player like Wintec Industries."

I placed all these orders on the night of February 19. All 5 companies sent immediate follow up emails. I received shipping info and order numbers from all the company’s the next day. 2-20-2003. Here’s a summary of what happened.
1. Bananapc.com showed up the next Tuesday in perfect shape and worked flawlessly.
2. Color Cases shipped on the next Thursday, I realized that there were no power supplies. Emailed the company and they are on 2-3 week backorder. I’m in the process of canceling the power supplies and buying them from somewhere else. Curiously after 2 emails and several messages no one is calling me back. I’ll keep trying and keep you updated. I can understand backorder, but not showing it on the website is poor.
3. buyxg.com showed up on Wed. in perfect working order. I love this card!
4. maximpc.com drives showed up flawlessly, the next Wed.
5. buymstar.com showed up on Friday which was a little later than I would have liked but without a power supply, no real point in being upset. I realized that the harddrive had a shipping charge on it, which shouldn’t have been. I spent about 3 days trying to call a full mailbox and sending emails which went unanswered. I finally got someone on the phone and he was nice enough to take care of it. Overall, not too bad.
I recommend all of these companies, the only thing I regret is ColorCases doesn’t let you know what is in stock and what is not. I have an 80 dollar power supply in my case right now which is going straight back to best buy as soon as mine comes in, so no real lost time. I just hope I can keep them from shipping the power supplies, but since I can’t get a hold of them I’ll never know. I hope this helps someone!

"I ordered with them, but put in the wrong billing info. They were very prompt in helping me complete the order with accurate information. I ordered 3-day UPS, and got it in two! Great service and very fast shipping! Will look here first for future purchases!"
"Excellent service. The Micron RAM I ordered arrived quickly and well packaged. The pricewatch price was very nice."
"I ordered 512 MB of Samsung (Wintec Branded) DDR 333 RAM. It was shipped the same day my bank approved the purchase and arrived right on time with the right product. Right price. Right product. That's all I ask for."
"When reading some historical ratings about this seller, I was cautious. I went ahead and ordered a Soyo Cigar Drive (256mb) and it arrived in good working order and on time. They were extremely informative and prompt in their emails. I would definitely buy through them again."
"Very Good to do bussiness with. Fast delivery, best price I could find for my item. Highly recomend"
"I have ordered over 1000 dollars worth of stuff from these guys and I'm am very pleased with them. This is about the only place I buy my computer stuff."
"They had one of the bes prices on price watch for a Radeon 9500 (non-pro). I ordered a DVI->VGA adapter to go with it, they called me on the phone to let me know there was one already bundled with the card and offered to remove the extra from my order to save me some $$. Card was packed well and arrived on time. Would definately buy from Banana again.
(no, I haven't modded it yet, but if you're interested in that, it came with the infineon 3.3 ram)"
"Shipped within 24 hours. Motherboard combo well packed and was new as stated. Great deal on combo, and the shipping was cheap. Would definitely buy from again."
"Got what I ordered, a Geforce Vid card, just like I ordered, on time and in factory fresh condition. Can't do any better than that. Fair price and resonable shipping. Thanks, I will be back."
"Fast, easy. Cheapest price on 128mb SD card that I could find. Got the tracking number and arrived in 5 days."
