I see that AnnieD was wanted to know if,

anyone here ever bought anything from computer geeks and if so...
How is the service?  Are they reliable?

I have bought quite a bit of stuff from them.  I heard of them when I was running the Berkeley SETI@Home distributed computing and/or Radio Astronomy project.  I used parts from Computer geeks to build about 10 low cost PC's to increase my participation in the project --  a "SETI Farm". 

As to the reliability of the Geeks ... Everything I have purchased from them has been exactly what their listing page said it would be.  In the rare cases where something didn't work, and was a low priced item, they sent a replacement at their cost -- no return was required. 

I have used the internet since 1994 ... early on, I learned that reputation is the coin of the internet -- slow to create, easy to ruin ... in my book, Computer Geeks has established good reputation, and earned my trust. 

HTH
