I've actually used them before successfully, they have some right bargains, I'd probably use them again too. Its the same with pretty much all etailers really, I don't think anyone escapes a bad experience with at least one of the major players. The problem is that nowdays many of them don't actually stock anything themselves, they get it drop shipped from other suppliers. Nothing wrong with it from a business perspective, just that if complications do arise then it can get a bit messy with all the third parties involved.

Sweet 
I've been here before, but really I mean I can't run 3 big iron rigs plus a quad titan.
Its just an excercise over the next day or so to see how far I can push the envelope
Then I'm putting the quad titan up in the members market and will retire the Opteron rig. That should still net me close to 2mil per day for the science I care about most, and I'll get a couple of little air cooled cards to tide me over and help out with Boinc.
It would be cool if they could stay in one piece and with the team but previous experience shows that there are only so many nutters around So I'll reluctantly split them up or like I did with my last Opteron rig sell it to someone from another team.

They certainly do, some pre-built overclocked, watercooled rigs are available now even

I didn't win lotto this weekend so it looks like I will have to make do with some more GPU's as I'm guessing your rig won't make it into Baba's range
