Deal Extreme actually have a pretty good reputation. They aren't particularly fast in terms of getting your order together but with few exceptions they seem to get the job done. Theres over 12 threads (not pages, threads, each thread is about 20 pages) of people talking about DX on whirlpool (Australian broadband forum) that with one or 2 exceptions have been generally positive. Even when something comes in broken or wrong emailing their support dept seems to get a response within 24 hours and usually another item shipped as a replacement.
