I know lots of people swear by EBay, is it really worth all the aggravation to 
save a few dollars? What if your item is defective? What about warranty 
support? I've always preferred the local mom n pop computer shop, they don't 
always have the rock-bottomest prices, but the service and support are 
unbeatable.
