It was definitely Techtronics. They would run flyers and ads in all the cheap papers every week. They disappeared overnight when the owners fled, filling up trucks with merchandise and personal property. Ask FlameOn. Techtronics was big around 2002-2004 when it closed up so it was in a era before OEM Depot.

That story about OEM Express rings true. I was fanatical about PC parts and upgrades in that period and yet I have never, ever heard of OEM Express/Depot. I didn't know they existed and shopped at MemEx and BCOM (after reading about deals on RFD).
