Okay after reading some posts that mentioned http://www.pc-1.ru/ I am curious how to order from them, I live in the United States and do not speak or read Russian. I have tried searching the forums but anything with pc-1.ru results in nothing found. Any tips? Has anyone that only speaks English ordered from them?

They have shipping service but do not ship outside of Russia, even to russian-speaking neighbour countries like Belarus or Ukraine.

I think you should find someone living in Moscow (their offline shop is located there) to buy needed components for you, then send them.

This shop has relatively high prices, but for some components prices are ridiculously low. Also they have lots of NOS parts. NOS AWE32 CT2760 costs nearly $10, same with NOS STB Voodoo 2 12 Mb; NOS PCI Aureal Vortex SQ2500 costs $3... and there's a crapload of them.

Note that Russian post service is notorious for its sluggishness and unreliability (some international sellers even won't ship to Russia because of it). Thus you should think about tracked and insured delivery.

I think you can PM me about the matter. I am often visiting Moscow and acquainted with the shop, since I bought myself some parts there.

Ok.
Good - order is received in the same day (by courier).
Bad - 1 position in the order isn't proper (I have ordered Asus TUSL2 motherboard, have received Asus CUSL2). So - there can be errors in the pricelist.
Not-so-bad - 7 days money back/replacement.

P.S. They have checked stocks, unfortunatedly there is no Asus TUSL2, only Asus TUSL2-C.

I live in Omsk, that's a different part of the country. I ordered from there too, a huge pack containing Vortex 2, 12Mb Voodoo 2, Diamond Monster Sound M80, CT2760, MilleniumII, some other stuff. most new old stock. All came well-packed in a large box. I paid around $60, as they charge $30 for shipment, which is crazy... But the hardware itself is very cheap and has no damage on it.

Sometimes it has. NOS CT2760 I bought there was damaged: plastic memory holders were broken, some pins bent and even the PCB itself chipped in the corner. However, I were allowed to take any other one instead. Every one I inspected was damaged in some way, mostly the memory holders. I took the lest damaged and went away.

Voodoo2 and Aureal SQ2500 all were in perfect condition though.
