    Wow I went to their website to see the latest asus models and their site is down, account suspended.

    Then i checked their reseller ratings and its .86/10 for the past 6 months. Many people are saying that it's because the owner, danny, disappeared, and everything went down hill. Is danny okay?

    I bought my W3J there back in the good old days. Not stellar service, but not bad either. Kind of a shame.

    Well i posted about this problem a while back, long story short, oredered 2 Z62F's when they were 249 each on clearance, they woudnl't just sell me the barebones, they wanted me to buy other parts from them (I had my own). Nothing happened for 3 weeks but they did charge my CC. Phoned them and told them to cancel the order, they never did. Called them back and got them to give me an Asus A6Vc and refund the difference vs my old order, strangely enough that actually went through and I recieved the laptop, after that i never had any luck getting ahold of them.

    Like you said I purchased a W3J back from them in the "good old days"

    I've heard rumours of what casued the business to go under but never anything official, which is too bad becasue i would have expected someone like MilestonePC who posted here on a regualr basis to set the record straight, and that never did happen. Buyer beware in the end.

    I guess something did happen to Danni, I saw him post here almost everyday, doesn't sound like him at all. He even gave me a good deal on my w3j.

    They didn't have the best service, but they definitely were reliable. Too bad ..

    yeah i guess they closed down, Danny, the owner had some family troubles and after that everything fell apart. They had some good prices and its too bad they're not in business anymore. I would've purchased something from them in August.
