Has anyone here ever dealt with serversupply.com?

Jan 25, 2013 2:42 PM

I have a fried motherboard in an old laptop that I'm trying to resurrect and these guys have the OEM part for pretty cheap. The online reviews are all over the map....so I turn to the experience of my DW brethren.

For reference, here is the part:

Any suggestions? Thanks.

personally, I probably wouldn't order from them. how much are you finding this part for everywhere else? let's say it's normally $150 at most other places and this place lists it for $70. that's a pretty big red flag in my opinion.

@carl669: I used to like resellerratings.com too until I discovered that companies pay them to be a member. Then, those companies can have bad reviews removed for various reasons.

Here are some other reviews from other sites:

And my favorite yelp:

Woot does not link directly to the URL's you put into the comments. Because it goes to a woot server first, it does some weird things with your links before redirecting you there. The Yelp one that I posted does not work. You will need to copy and paste the URL for it to work.

The Yelp reviews all have 1 out of 5 stars.

Thanks guys...I was hoping someone would say "Oh yeah, nothing but good experiences with these folks. Highly recommended."

On my way over to ebay for the refurb....

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
