I had a bad experience with Micro 1 last year, and I wouldn't order
from them again, either.

In April, '88, I ordered a 386 system, a Mylex tower.  In June, I was
informed the board and sheetmetal case were on backorder, but due in
any moment.  In checking with Mylex, I found the parts actually were
in the Mylex warehouse, but Micro 1 had neglected to pick them up!

After many phone calls to Micro 1, I finally got the system in
September, a wait of 5 months.  I checked with other stores in the
area, and could have had my system in less than 3 days, just the need
for burn-in time.  (I couldn't cancel the order due to fiscal year
restrictions.)
