They've got a lot of stuff sitting in a warehouse in Chicago.

I got a rack delivered from them in a couple days last summer when all 
other vendors I could find (including Dell) were giving a few weeks lead 
time due to APC's backlog.  Since they are in Chicago, even things that 
come via truck freight get here fast.

They seem to have a lot more stock of enterprise type hardware than most 
(maybe any?) other vendor.
