I used to buy from them, their prices are around the 
same as buying new items (sometimes more) from E-tailers,
however, with E-tailers (like NewEgg and others) you
have a warranty. With Geeks, unless it's DOA you're on
your own. Further, their shipping charges are high.  

For computer accessories and cables I buy from 
www.bestbyteinc.com in Katy, TX. Recently bought several 
USB & HD IDE 80 Flat cables, and w/shipping and tax, 
saved significantly $ compared to Altex, and didn't have 
to drive 22 miles one way.
