   The following is my personal experience with VCP Computer Products, which is
   located in Anaheim, CA. They have a full-page ad in MacWeek and other
   Mac-specific
   magazines almost every week. They sell hard drives, optical drives, Syquest,
   etc. under their own label and other products.

   Three months ago I saw that they also sell external hard drive and Syquest
   kits.

--------------------------------------------

Just as another data point, I've purchased two external hard drive cases from
them in the past year and a half.  I've never had a problem with them, but
since I live in the Orange County area, I just drove to their office and 
picked them up myself.  In the past year, they've gone from a one man operation
to 20 or so employees and seem to have become more disorganized.  My only
complaint with them was that the last time I bought a case from them I
wanted to get a 50-50 SCSI cable instead of the useless 25-50 cable (which I've
got tons of) that was included.  Instead of just switching it, they charged
me an additional $15 for the different cable.  I know this is a minor quibble,
but annoying nevertheless.

The cases are pretty good quality though.

P.S. Standard disclaimer...  I am not now nor ever been mixed up with VCP etc.
