Are PrimeBuy and Insight.com trusted for server parts (and any ATX PSUs with the fan at the back)? (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone. Basically the question; has anyone bought server parts off of PrimeBuy and Insight.com? Are they trustworthy?

I was looking for the Seasonic ES2, which has a fan at the back, to be used in a server, but the only places I could find it are at these two websites. They look fine to me but I thought I'd take the community's opinion on it (would be great if Seasonic sold it themselves but I don't think that's the case).

Thanks!

primebuy looks like a ripoff of amazon, insight looks legit, but you'll probably get what your order from either site

Indeed, and I hope I don't get scammed.

Insight is legit, or it used to be back when I worked for a large company. The prices reflected that their customers are businesses.

Thanks, I might look to place an order then

I find that resellerratings.com is a decent first pass on an online retailer that you've never heard of before.
