Sort of OT but i need a reliable source for computer parts online that others have used and know are legit. I need a Adaptec slim scsi 1480A for my laptop. I've checked compusa, bestbuy, circuitcity. Any clues? thanks

I have one on the way, I hope! Here's something funny, I went to bestbuy and asked the guy in geeksquad if he knew where I could get a scsi card (pronuonced- scuzzy) and any geek that knows anything knows what a scsi card is and how to spell it. He goes to look it up and asks me "how do you spell scuzzy card?" ...I walked out. Seems nowadays whereever you go employees generally know less than you do about products they are supposed to represent. I guess i'm spoiled by shopbot service and knowledge.
