www.resellerratings.com is a good way to tell...

I wouldn't trust them with much money or a credit card number because of how long they have been around but in the end it is your choice.

A quick skim of their reviews looks positive. I haven't heard of them, but I'd trust them on a non-mission-critical order (ie when I needed a part to keep my job). They link to their resellerratings page from their front page, so they at least want you to think that they care.
I say go for it.
they seem to be involved in everything paypal,international orders, personal checks, if they keep it up with the reseller ratings, fast shipping, good prices, more products newegg might have a challenge
they are actually listed on resellerrating.com but they dont have a rating lol. Well anyhow what i was looking to buy from them was the Techflex Casemod Sleeving Kit (UV Blue). That kit seems to be out at Directron.com and everyone place.
Computer Wizards uses paypal, and i trust paypal. 30 bucks isnt much but man thats 10 bucks more than directron and most other places.
Just looked them up over at the Better Business Bureau:

What do you guys think?

They do have a rating, just not a 6 month rating. All of their ratings are good to.

I was just poking around and saw a name I recognize - and just thought I should add what I know.
I live in the same town as computer wizards. I have been going to their store for years. before these guys opend their store here, there used to be half a dozen other computer shops in town. Now there is only one, thats computer wizards. these other stores were a bunch of "jip joints" but the wizards put them all out of bussines. me and my friends have been going there faithfully for 7 years. My mom was the one that found their shop when our computer died during christmas and I got a new game and could not play it. She took our PC there to see if it could be fixed. At first I was kinda mad cuz I was without my computer but my mom came home with our computer and the Wizards had it fixed that day and it only cost her $35. that was in January 97. after that happened my parents went there and got us a new computer- our old one was a 486 gateway. I dont remember how much it cost but it was a new P2 when they first came out. I still have the same ATX case that my P2 came in but I have upgraded it a ton since then. I am in college now (Austin Peay) and I still get my parts up at the wizards. Its pretty cool cuz when ever I want something I can just go in there and they allways no what is best for me and they have never let me down. My computer also has free upgrades from them. I pay them for the parts and they give me a 10 percent discount and they do all the work for free and they warranty it too.
I have a friend who allways thinks he knows everything and once he ordered a motherboard and processor from tiger direct. He went through 3 motherboards and cpu's that were all bad from tiger direct, and he finaly listened to me and went to the wizards and they sold him a better motherboard with a faster cpu and installed it for him. and you know it worked the very first time and is running solid.
I just thought I should let you know my personal experiances with them, cuz I know them pretty good. I have other friends too that go there and spend a lot more money than I do and most of them wont go anywhere else for anything.
