Let me rant about insight.com. Until recently they were the only vendor
we could buy from through PO. We ordered several 300GB SCSI drives with
68pin connectors so they can fit into the slots in the drive bays. We
were very specific about this and not only did we specify this, my boss
also sent them a picture. What we got were the standard PC connectors.
While other purchases from them we got what we ordered, they did screw
up one order by sending stuff to our New York office. Fortunately we no
longer have to deal with them. We sent back the SCSI drives and
purchased what we needed from CPU Sales in Waltham (they have since
moved to Lexington). I also did a lot of price comparisons, and although
our company got a discount, their prices seemed higher.
