I've had many problems with CDW when ordering, specifically that they
pre-approve your purchases on your credit card, not 'charging' exactly but
still taking that credit off your card.  As well, I've had problems when
cancelling an order (on the order of two - four weeks to get them to remove
the pre-approval) and I've been consistently given the 'any-day-now' routine
on backorders.  I've also had rude salespeople.  So, nope, I strongly
recommend against ordering CDW.  USA Flex has similar prices, good service,
and I've never had a lick of a problem. - jcb
