TigerDirect - Anyone bought from them before?

Has anybody here dealed with TigerDirect before? Their name sounds familir and professional, and they have great prices for certain items, but I have heard some bad things about them before, like, for example, they were involved in some illegal business where they would give out your CC info. So, are they a reliable place to buy from?

Yeah, I read those. That's what I was talking about when they did some illegal things in the past, but I thought they cleaned up their act (I believe I remember reading in a news post somewhere that they stopped doing it now).

wow... I never knew of those reports!

I don't buy of them anymore though... I buy from www.newegg.com

Same here. Newegg is one of the best online PC parts stores.

i used to buy cheap pc memory from tigerdirect when they had their sales, never had any probs, i even had to return a MOBO to them once, and I had no trouble RMAing it, a couple of their phone operators were not the most helpful people, one even had an attitude with me checking on my orders. but then I found out about newegg and never looked back, they are the NCS of the PC world.

Yeah, but TigerDirect has some things that are WAY cheaper than newegg. Like their NextVision N4.

$178 for a 74 gb hd?

10,000 RPM mofo.

So, should I order from TigerDirect? The reason I want to order from them is because they sell the NextVision N4 at a price that's a lot cheaper than NewEgg.

BTW, what abouit this review on Newegg:

Newegg is great.... even with returns. I bought this product to replace a pervious Up Scan converter. Unfortunately this unit had a Very unstable S-video output (the screen kept shaking... it gave me a headache). Also the tuner is not of very good quality. The remote is also too small for practical use (imagine holding this tiny remote aprox the size of a business card and changing the channels with your thumb... with the buttons mounted on the BOTTOM of the remote... bad design). I am very disappointed with this product. So if you are looking at this unit for purchase, save yourself the restocking and shipping fees to send it back. I bought this because it was $40 cheaper than my previous unit form a company called TVOne, but it was a bad gamble.
