Sorry, but the only mail ordering I have done was with GO AMIGO!.  I got
DPaint 3 from them at about $106 including Fed-EX delivery.  They seemed quite
nice on the phone and I can't complain about their service.  They are
apparently not the cheapest mail-order firm around, but hey!  I can't offer
good/bad recommendations for the places you mentioned.

I have a Supra 2400 external modem...no problems, no regrets; I like it.
(BTW, GO AMIGO! lists the Supra 2400 at $144 in the September AmigaWorld mag.)
I also have a 1084s monitor though I think there may be more than one version
of this.  Mine has the curved case with a curved 'controls door'.  It looks
similar to the original AMIGA monitors except it says 'Commodore 1084s video
monitor' on it.  It has stereo sound and a headphone jack.  This is a good
monitor for the budget-minded person in my opinion.  (If you were thinking
of using the Enhanced Chipset's flicker-free 640x480 pixel mode, you will
need a multisync monitor sometime in the future, but I think you would
be able to get by quite nicely without one.)  As for the Master 3A, I have
two internal drives on my A2000 (both are Commodore's as far as I know), so I
have no info here either.

Hope this helps.
