I had a few rotten experiences with what we called "EBC - Eddie Been Cheatin'" So I've boycotted them since 1998 and I've gone to the other stores you've listed. I heard rumor they went out of business, but took a bit of searching to find your article here confirming that for me. :)<br /><br />Some other local PC Part carriers that are gone:<br /><br />Totally Awesome Computers Closed March 2006 - Awesome business plan, stolen from Elite Systems/PC Laptops, lots of loyal customers, lost a bunch of inventory to dishonest employees and awful inventory tracking. Dell loved getting the media's attention, up until they slaughtered him for brandishing his firearm during a confrontation. But he didn't seem to care about computers anymore when he picked up paramotoring. :)<br /><br />Techworks 2000-2001 - Wasn't a very good idea to have a computer store/service center on the 2nd floor of the Cottonwood Mall. Was bought out/absorbed by Dell Schanze, who was the owner's LDS Home Teacher.<br /><br />ACT Computing ? - 2000 - Little computer store in WVC, was broken into on Christmas day 1999, owner closed it shortly afterward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
