I just love Sidewinder Computers.

Got a hot deal to share, info about a vendor, gear to sell, or a question about where to buy?

This place is great especially if you don' have the time and patience to deal with limited run specials. Even then the prices here may be the same or better.

Where else can you get a ThermalRight HR01 for and AMD X2 for $30?

NMB 80mm fans are normally $4, now $1.25. Ha!

On this page you'll see all the chipset coolers.

I bought a pack of 10 of these and place them on any chip that burns my pinky finger.

These are killer, southbridge HS, they are 30 * 30 * 30, huge compared to what you normally get. They stick on. $1.25 Another no brainer. Probably great for onboard NICs as well.

their thermal adhesive is ridiculously cheap... even with shipping to canada, it's still less than half the price of what i can get from canadian vendors. plus they shipped it only 2 hours after i placed my order.

great site! thanks!

Sidewinder is GREAT!

I've bought a bunch of stuff from them over the past few months and prices and transactions have always been top-notch!

I actually sent an order into Newegg and Sidewinder the same day (wednesday afternoon). The sidewinder order was at my house by 10am Friday, and the NE one was there Monday.

Prices are great, and they also answered my e-mail very quickly.

They really are trying to help customers get what they want, even at some risk to their profits.

Places like Sidewinder deserve our support.
