This is my first post here, i've been lurking here and some other places for quite some time. I've been working on opening an online computer store for the past few months. I've actually had pretty much everything setup, just haven't put up a site. Lately though, I've become very interested in carrying modding supplies such as lazer cut fan grills, cold cathodes, etc. The problem is i've been having trouble finding manufacturers and distributors for these products. I see alot of modding stores carrying the same products(lazer cut fan grills, window kits, cold cathodes, etc), but i'm unable to find who the manufacturers/distributers are for these products. Take the lazer cut fan grills for instance. Who makes these? I know a few different stores make their own, but there is a specific lineup of these that many different stores sell. The biohazard, atomic, radiation, and hurricane designs seem to be sold at quite a few modding stores. However i can' t seem to find out who the manufacturer of these is. Basically i'm looking to find manufacturers/distributors for modding products. I've also been looking into watercooling products as well. I had been talking with people at aqua-computer.de about importing their products, but recently dtek customs has shown in an interest in selling their products and i'm not sure its wise for me to try and compete with them on these products before my store gets an established reputation. At any rate, i'm hoping you guys can give me some insight as to what kind of products you guys look for the most when shopping for modding supplies. As well as suggestions for product lines and some ideas on who makes some some of the more widely distributed modding products. Any information/suggestions/ideas on the subject would be greatly appreciated. I hope this sort of post isn't frowned upon. its not really an idvertisement, so i think i'm ok. Thanx for reading.
