If you are talking about Pangaea (found them through the Tyan web
site) then think again. My experience with them was misrable -
they wouldn't talk to me when they found that I'm interested only
in the motherboard alone, even though I wanted to buy two or three
boards. Buying a whole computer from them was also out of the
question since they were by far more expensive than anyone else.
The only time they called me back was when the Tomcat was announced
and (my guess is that) they wanted to dump the old model in my
direction. Also another shop agread with me that the prices that
Pangaea are demanding for their boards are outragous (about 30-40%
above prices in the states as far as I remember).
Though our (Me, Marc's, Yigal's, Evgeny's and Erez') experience
with RCSystems was far from best, I attribute at least some of it
to the fact that we were the largest overseas order they ever
handled, there were blunders with the money which was at least to
some extent our fault, we generally changed our order many times,
and they never sent an order that far (so they double-checked the
parts sent to us, which so far proved to be OK). Maybe someone
else who just e-mails them an order with credit card details and
without all the messing we did will fair better with them.
I personally will consier ordering from them again if the need
arises, but without involving so many people.
