I'm shopping around for the AST Megapak board. I bought the original Megaplus from Qubie. However, for some reason Qubie is no longer stocking AST boards. Their prices used to be very reasonable. There must have been some sort of falling out between AST and Qubie. Anyway, I'm now looking for a new supplier of AST boards at reasonable prices. The larger mail order houses tend to inflate the price to cover their overhead and advertising in the national rags. I'm very satisfied with the quality of AST boards and am perfectly willing to do business with a smaller outfit. I'm interested in any recommendations people have on some of these mail order houses. Have you had good experiences ? Are there reasonable prices to be had ?

I have ordered from them 3 times over the past two years. Each
time their price was <= any other quotes I could find, they
shipped the next day, and they don't charge for surface shipping
or add a credit card surcharge. My most recent order was this
week for a 20M Microscience hard disk. Ordered Monday, received
Thursday (they added $6.50 for UPS 2nd day air). The price they
first quoted was $100 over 2 other vendors I had called but they
matched ($695) when confronted with the news. They have always
given me the impression that they are small, eager to please,
and honest.
I have no association with CompuAdd other than as a satisfied
customer.
