Anyone heard of / used http://www.kylescomputing.com before? Seems really sketchy. No contact info, even though they tell you there is one somewhere.
Got a tip for us?

I wouldn't trust it, theres no contact form that he keeps mentioning, theres no reviews when googling the name, unless you were to go to a b&m store I would stay away.
Agree with the above. If they put this little effort into the website, what makes you think anything else they do is going to be any good?
EDIT: Chrome moans about some of the security on the checkout pages too (not that I actually bought anything).

Had to reply to this since it appears to be the only discussion regarding "Kyle's Computing". 
The site does indeed appear to be a scam. I went though the order process and noted that although they claim to be using HTTPS, there is no SSL certificate! The order form looks to be a simple credit card harvesting form. I filled it out with bogus info and received a generic response that a rep will process the information. I bet they will, right into their CC database!

30 day return policy, provided (a) you actually receive the item you paid for in the first place and (b) they do a better job of including contact information on the invoice than they do on their website. (c) they don't give you a "bait and switch" runaround, when you do try to return it. (d) Would you really want to do business with a place called "Kyle's Computing?"
No thanks. Sometimes it is just worthwhile paying that little extra to do business with an established and reputable company.

It was a little obvious, which I only bothered to give it a DOWN at the time.
Not worth any more effort, really.
Based on the reports at the following link, I'd guess it's a CC harvesting scam.

Regarding Kyle's Computing website
it is a bogus site using a data collection program/process known as PIWIK. the purpose of the site is to collect information, including credit card numbers, from your computer. it appears to be originating from one of the former baltic states and/or russian federation. if you visit the site, be sure to disable cookies. hope this helps. for additional info, email me.

Good reminder to run Cookie Stumbler, because I did visit the site and didn't disable cookies first. Found a Kyle's Computing cookie and removed it.
Does not look professional under any aspect. If this guy was serious about his business and wanting to make legitimate money, he would have spent some money on creating a professional looking website to begin with. It looks like it has been thrown together in 5 minutes in an attempt to lure some unfortunate individual into giving them their hard earned money only to never see a product.
This is simply an expression of appreciation for this thread.
Kyle's comes in very cheap on Google search for external hard drives, yet is unrated. I haven't found any other site that actually discusses Kyle's, although I admit not putting more than five minutes into the effort.
I'll be spending more for the same item somewhere but Kyle's, with a greater sense of security.
Regards,

If you don't mind receiving nothing for your money - I'll sell you the same stuff even cheaper!!
