Yea, the OTV folks do have a clue, and they're competitive enough that I
don't often go to NCIX.com.

OTOH, ncix.com has some better deals (Athlon 4200+ open box for 40$
cheaper than OTV), and better selections (Athlon 3800+ DC -- OTV didn't
have any of those). They also have sales OTV can't beat (the
spooktacular sale had a BFG 7600 GT 256mb, same fill rate as my BFG GF
6800, for 120$ after the 50$ MIR and 100$ IR!).

I was surprised today to get my package I ordered Tuesday afternoon.
Apparently free ground shipping means next-day delivery :o
