Some may recall my post about SIMMs and subsequent repost of where I decided to buy them. Here's the story: I bought 4x4Mb low profile, vertically mounted 80ns SIMMs from Peripheral Outlet, for a grand total of $779. They arrived in 3 days (woulda been two, but I ordered late that day). There were only 2 other places (that I knew of) that were cheaper, Chip Merchant and Micro Electronic Technoligies. They cost $179 vs $192, although I called one of them back a few days later, and they cost $182. Neither of them could tell me if their SIMMs were vertically mounted and/or would fit in the NeXT (I think MET said they wouldn't). I figured the extra money was worth it. I ripped apart the Cube, and slapped them in. These chips are the SAME size as the NeXT ones so there is no problem whatsoever with clearance at all. I put the Cube back together again, powered up, and things work perfect! So if you are looking for 4Mb SIMMs, and don't want to go thru any hassle: Peripheral Outlet 314 S. Broadway Ada, OK 74820 Ph. 800-332-6581 Ph. 405-332-6581 1 Mb $43.00 4 Mb $192.00 Lifetime warranty, They take PO's Happy Computin'! -k

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not any more, they don't. Just called them and they require advance
payment. Since it would take forever to get my university purchsasing
office to cut a check for this, I'm looking for alternative places
with (a) at least as good prices; (b) willingness to ship on a PO; and
(c) enough savvy to know whether their SIMMs will fit in a NeXT.
Anybody got any ideas?
