Too many times I've purchased one component from one Co. and another from
another, only to have something go wrong and each Co. point the finger at
the other. Good service is worth the few extra percent you may have to pay
for a system you are comfortable with.
When the time comes, you'll get my twenty or fifty bucks. The list has
saved me that, easily. Not to mention the camaraderie of this support group
is worth a small fortune (or at least $.02).
