[Szeto]

wow.... bigfootcomputers ceased operation ....

sucks and good at the same time, I was gonna order stuff last week .... sucks now that they ceased operation I can't find any online retailers that carry decent mouse pad... like Xtrac or the Everglide special edition pad...

[Szeto]

also noticed Vibecomputers went down too =/ for good

[ceraf]

boo, that's a shame. maybe i should have picked up some more arctic fan 3's.

[Szeto]

yeah, they have some pretty good stuff, and they sell lots mod products

=( hope they get a good deal on selling their business

Vibecomputers went down after a nice closeout sale. Best item was the Func 1030 mouse pad (reg NCIX $30), sale for $1.

Also DDR3200 ram for 100 (2x 1GB, dual channel).

Countless mod items, etc.

Picked up a couple nice deals during their clearance but everything was out of stock FAST.

I remember when he started out, selling Evermax power supplies on Usenet. Too bad.

Also remember when eBay started out the same way and were looking for investors.

Things worked out much better for eBay, and I still kick myself for thinking eBay would never make any money.

Too bad, I enjoyed buying stuff there from Neil and his cronies.
In fact, I was just planning another purchase. I wonder what he will do now?

[jollyeskimo]

Was bigfoot the last of the stores that sold mostly modding/enthusiast stuff? I'm surprised that it lasted until now...

according to this page
http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/

what really pisses me off,is that originally,i was going to buy from performance-pcs in the usa,but i wanted it to get to me quicker,so i chose bigfoot!!now look.
very sorry to see them close.

I bought things over the years from Bigfoot, but as other cheaper computer shops started carrying overclocking fans and cases, I stopped going. Too bad, they carried some stuff you couldnt find elsewhere in the GTA.

Don't forget about ADPMods.

Vibecomputers was the bomb back in the day until they got hacked or something. Bigfoot was an awesome store but EXPENSIVE by any comparison. They just carried some items that were hard to find. However, these guys had excellent CUSTOMER SERVICE. They went above and beyond for me on several occasions and its a sad day to see them go like Adpmods.

[Szeto]

anyone know any CANADIAN retailers like Bigfoot or ADPmod? =(

[abstract808]

Wow...bought my first Golden Orb heatsink from Neil off a posting on the usenet back in the day. They were expensive, but made up for it in service. It's a dying business model these days.
