I'll second General Nanosystems. I guess they are really in Minneapolis, but it is near St. Paul: General Nanosystems Inc 3014 University Ave Se, Minneapolis, MN (612) 331-3690 http://www.nanosys1.com/ I have no affiliation with them, but I spent about $2000 last summer on a bunch of different things and I liked their prices. Some of the guys know a lot and some of them don't know so much, so check what they tell you if it seems questionable. I liked the used monitors I bought here: Midwest Surplus & Electronics 124 12th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN (612) 339-9533 Sometimes I buy miscellaneous items, maybe DVD-Rs or a keyboard, or something I can't get elsewhere at that moment at CompUSA - Roseville 2480 Fairview Ave N, Roseville, MN (651) 635-4098 Mike
