It would be nice if you could include customer reviews of the products OWC sells on its website.
By looking at the customer reviews on sites like NewEgg and Amazon I feel I am able to make a more informed decision when I buy a technology item.

I'm glad you updated the archaic "Hard Drives", "Firewire" and "CD/DVD" tabs to the more useful and current "Internal Storage", "External Storage" and "CD/DVD/Blu-Ray" options along with their clarifying subheads.

same here. I think the Apple Store page is the limit for me. even that seems just a bit too busy, it was leaner a few years ago.

CSS validation shows a few errors

Yes, better delineation between top banner area and a given page's content. The earlier double-row of nav tabs was a too busy. And the modern footer is cleaner of course.

This is a top priority project in fact - coming soon.

Thems a lotta visuals, chief!

Just took a quick look:
Definitely looks spiffier from a design standpoint, and navigation is quite snappy (via Safari 4). We'll see when I actually have to find something, but thumbs up!
E-tailers understandably want to cram as much stuff (especially 'specials') onto their pages as possible, which inevitably makes for visual clutter. You've cleaned that up a tad, but how about getting a designer to work on a simple, more elegant interface that nonetheless still works? You don't really have to be MacMall or Tiger Direct to sell stuff. Mac users are partial to understatement, after all.

mick e wasn't going to say this but sometimes people need to hear things like this.
A cleaned up header would do WONDERS. The top of the page looks like the floor of a frat house basement after a keg party.

And how about a link for Specials?
