I've done business with Hi-Q in the past and I've been reasonably happy. I
found out about them from their ads in the BCS Magazine.

Like most small shops, their support technicians are overworked. I must
confess, I have trouble understanding them sometimes, too (language/accent
barriers). I had some hardware difficulty with the accessories I purchased
from them (my monitor flaked out). My sales rep, Brendan, handled the
situation efficiently and quickly, swapping the defective component out
with another model right away.

Brendan and the technicians I spoke to were also very helpful in getting
questions answered.
