I've dealt with them - I purchased my xt-clone from them last June - and
have been very pleased with everything about them.  The 2 day lag comes
about because they do a 48 hour "burn-in" on all systems before
shipping.  I ended buying my PC, monographics card & mono monitor from
them because the salesman gave me excellent prices (especially for the
monitor & mono card), was quite knowledgeable and courteous.  After
receiving the system I wanted to put a IBM 5.25 drive in the system &
couldn't get it working I ended up calling their tech support people who
actually helped me find the problem (which is a rare event nowadays).  I
think ElTech is an umbrella company for Everex - which is pretty sound
financially.  You may want to ask the salesperson there for references.
  Though I can't vouch for their 286 or 386 systems - I will give them
high marks for the XT clones & professionalism.
