I voted Not Great... for reasons I'll explain below.
Bitporium
MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II 1GB Video card.

Newegg
MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II 1GB Video card.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127545
214.99 (194.99 w/ $20 mailin rebate)
$40 dollar difference is the cost of an AMD CPU to get these rigs running, 4 sitcks of ram, a few extenders, or parts to make your own Open Air case.
Are you just reselling cards you can get cheaper online?
Not trying to thread crap, but I wouldn't pay these prices. Especally since retailers are expecting sales starting 9/1/11 (Directron.com rep.)
Edit: Just to make sure I wasn't limiting it to Computer components.
Asus Transformer 16GB ($441.61 vs 399.99) Newegg Wins
The Sims 3 ($25.33 vs 39.99) Bitporium Wins
Compaq Nc6400 ($250.33 vs vs $149.99) Ebay wins.
Watering globes ($4.72 vs $4.25) Amazon wins.
Sorry guys... but If Bitporium wants my $$$ or BTC, you need to lower prices.
Hello, I value your feedback and really appreciate your honesty. The prices are what I can afford. Just like every retailer in history I am just reselling products, But there is no way you can expect me to compete with Newegg or Amazon at this moment. As business picks up and I can make larger orders prices will be better. Also, most of my video games either match the prices of other merchants or is alot of time a little cheaper.Bitporium

Also I believe that your vote isn't fair at all. The question was, How was your experience with Bitporium?. That has nothing to do with pricing and everything to do with service. I hope to serve you one day so that you can see that Bitporium is here to provide a service to the community. While my prices aren't the most competitive, I can at least say that my pricing is usually better than going to Best Buy.
