Speaking of Altex, they're going to open another around 1604 and...
well, it'll be in NW San Antonio.

In Austin, they were once the same store, and split up.  Altex is
pretty good IMHO, instead of no-name motherboards they have Asus and
Gigabyte; they have better soldering stations than Atex, and they are
the best place to buy cabling (SCSI, cat 5, &c.) and accessories.
