Best wholesale supplier for HTPC GPUs?
Hey everyone! I run a small computer repair shop, and lately I've been getting a lot of requests for home theater PCs (HTPCs). I'm looking to source some good GPUs specifically for these builds. I want to know where you all are getting your GPUs from, especially for HTPC applications. I'm particularly concerned about pricing, the quality of the products, and how good their RMA process is, just in case something goes wrong. Any recommendations based on your experiences would be super helpful!

Hi! For HTPC GPUs, I highly recommend checking out Ingram Micro. They have a solid selection of mid-range GPUs that are perfect for multimedia tasks without breaking the bank. I've been sourcing from them for over a year now, and their pricing is very competitive. Plus, their RMA process is straightforward; I’ve only had to return a couple of cards, and they handled it quickly. I usually use their online portal, which integrates well with my shop’s inventory management software, making it easy to keep track of orders and returns. Definitely worth considering!
Hey! I've had good luck with Newegg's business section for sourcing GPUs. They often have sales that can save you quite a bit, but their stock can be hit or miss, especially on popular models. I've had a few issues with RMA, but they eventually resolved it. If you can plan ahead and monitor their stock levels, it can be a good option. Just a bit more work to keep an eye out for the best deals!
