Have anyone tried Navada or Extreme Evolution ?
I have tried both... all good.  I stop going t Navada for personal
reasons but I have now done most of my purchasing from Extreme if they
have the stock and have found their sales to be accomdating and
polite.

Granted I have not had to go back to test their 'warranty or exchange'
but I guess that just means the stuff they sell me works. =o)

try

www.xtreme-evolution.com

Not too bad price also and always open to discussion about the final
cash price.  NEVER go to Trinix.. they were going to sell me ada890
for like $650.. and Xtreme did it for me for $545....
