Hi all- I am in the process of tracking down a retailer for a Tyan Tomcat motherboard. I have checked at the larger local stores (i.e. Computer City and Micro Center) and was wondering if anyone had any other companies that might have this motherboard in the NoVa/DC/southern Maryland areas (most preferably the Rockville/Germantown/Gaithersburg areas). Thanks, Megan

Skytek has some of the best prices I've seen in the area, and they carry Tyan. Call first to find out about their walk-in customer purchasing requirements. Back in April, they allowed walk-ins only specified days a week, and at only certain times during the day. I think, but I'm not sure, it was Mondays to Thursdays only, from 1:00PM to 7:00 PM. You had to bring cash or a ceritified bank check. This means no plastic and no personal checks. Limited or non-existant store guarantee policy, too. It may have been 7 days, exchange only, no refunds. klaatu <root@earthops.org> wrote: >> >> Megan >Try Skytek in Northern Virginia, over by Tysons.

They have really strange hours, 4pm to 7pm weekdays, no weekend hours or something like that. They don't take credit cards or checks, cash only, and they have no return policy, once you walk out of the store you're stuck with it. Again this is from what I have heard and from my one visit to their store several months ago. Try calling some of the places listed in Monday's Business section. Places I would cal are K-Tek Computers 703-440-1140, (the best prices I have seen on motherboards and CPU's,), INTECH 703-912-4204, (where the best place for memory?, great selection of motherboards), G.E.D 703-550-9600 (one of their salesmen told me that they can get hold of anything that I wanted, but of course that was the salesman speaking), Advanced Computer Networks 703-920-3551 (I a motherboard, case, and CPU from them last year. That computer is but a memory now, (sold). The ultimate source would be to do a Web search for Tyan and get a list of authorized resellers. You might also try posting to Misc.Forsale.Computers.Pc-Specific.Motherboards. Don't go to the big stores, they are only good for their discounted merchandize, or their special sales. David A. Nixon

We've had very good luck with them, quality-wise, and their prices seem competitive.
