Be very careful when purchasing online from one of these organizations. Will you receive what you paid for? Will the product be complete, as manufactured? We have heard of many cases where power supplies, software or other accessories are not supplied, while they should come standard. Will they be there to help you with and problems, and will they be there to help you with any warranty or service issues should they arise. DOT.COM or SHOP ONLINE it's your choice.
