Hi there everyone :)

I'm looking to purchase a mechanical keyboard (got my eyes set on the CM Storm Quickfire XT with cherry red's).
As someone who hasn't bought anything from an online computer shop I would just like to get an idea of which ones are trustworthy/reliable/well priced.

I've heard good things about wootware however they don't seem to have the exact model of keyboard I'm looking at (see above), I've also seen posts on this forum which regard Rebeltech as a pretty decent store. I took a look at their prices and they seem to be pretty much the cheapest.
I don't live in a major city if that affects shipping charges etc.

Any help is much appreciated.
Also any opinions about the keyboard are welcome.

Regards,
an online shopper noob
 
I'm typing this on a CM Storm Quickfire TK with cherry reds bought from Landmark Computers, which arrived within 2 days with no hassles back when I got it. Can highly recommend them, have never had any issues and their support is outstanding.

Sounds pretty good, will check them out.
How are the Cherry MX red's btw? Some people say they are really easy to mistype because of the low actuation force, but I think I prefer lighter keys.

Sybaritic has them: http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/product_info.php?products_id=148782

Courier delivery will cost you about R50 (in Gauteng) - R85 (anywhere else)

NB: I don't work for Sybaritic (I'm a long-time customer 'cos I'm happy with their service) so I might be wrong on the delivery charges.

That's the "stealth" version of the XT, I was just looking for the bog standard one like this: http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/product_info.php?cPath=110_146&products_id=141330
