    So I'm gonna be laid off? :eek: :p

    Let's just see how great these "deals" are, I'm not gonna get my hopes up just yet...

    EDIT: Okay they do have some really good deals. It's to bad they don't sell notebooks though.

    Thanks for posting this, I might buy me a rubber keyboard :)

    Wow, thats too bad. I bought some custom molex plugs and such from them when I built my custom desktop a few years ago. I was pretty pleased with them and they had some unique stuff that I couldn't find other places.

    I might buy some things if a friend does, that way I can combine shipping. Some good deals though.

    Thanks for sharing with us! It's crazy how cheap some things are.
    I've been looking through the site for hours now and I'm really into buying the USB Mini Cooling Fridge! It's very silly I know but it's so cool. It's only around 7$ and I'll save 27$ if I buy it. Have a look.

    I placed my order on Sunday morning so I should be getting my shipment on Thursday or Friday. I think I made a few users sad when they found out that certain items are out of stock.

    I'm really tempted to buy one of those Cocaine energy drinks.
    I drink a lot of energy drinks and I do mean a lot of them! It's also rather cheap so I might buy a few of them just to try it out. I hope they taste good :D

    The prices appear to have gone back up. For example, the 80mm mesh grills were going at 1.29 + shipping at xoxide. Now they're back up to 3.99+

    Good way to screw the new guys...get rid of all the stock...

    Hmmm...when I Google the street address of the new management, a LOT of scammy sites show up as hits. Something tells me Xoxide may no longer be trustworthy.
