I originally heard about this site via the forums. The other day I was looking to replace my case's 250mm fan and I needed some extra cables, so I was looking at their site and FrozenCPU. I generally buy my cooling stuff from Sidewinder and my general-needs stuff from newegg but I wanted to try out one of these two for some custom material I needed quickly. I went with performance-pcs as they're based in Florida (where I live), although the prices were similar on both sites for what I needed at the time. I placed my order on Wednesday night, and it included several custom-sleeved/heatshrinked cables and fans. By Thursday afternoon the order had been shipped usps priority. I received the shipment today. It would have been here earlier but my postal carrier didn't deliver the package initially, and my local post office sent out another carrier this afternoon to deliver it before they closed for the weekend. I'll have to send a thank you card with some chocolates to the nice assistant who helped me with this on Tuesday
Initial impressions:
Their site was easy to navigate and the shopping cart section was comparable to newegg's setup. Setting up a login for ordering was straight-forward and fast. Shipping via usps priority was relatively inexpensive (although I did have to pay sales tax as they're based semi-locally) and very quick.
They did an excellent job with the custom sleeving and everything was in order and perfectly separated/packed. The order was prepared and sent out in only a couple hours. I'm kinda blown away by their service, and only Sidewinder has been as fast shipping out hardware in my experience. Their prices were also really nice and I didn't have to pay compounded shipping for cabling as I would with newegg (not to give the impression that I dislike newegg as I've spent a couple grand there so far).
This was the first time I've ordered from them but it definitely won't be the last.
I know that reviews are often frowned upon but I found it hard not to recommend this excellent site. While I'm sure it's known here already, some people may not have seen it before so I figured I should mention a positive impression for others who may be looking for hardware online.
