Hey all

I am looking for a new 500GB hdd.
I don't want to buy online so I am looking for a local place
to buy. I am situated in Somerset West just outside of
Cape Town. If anyone knows a place around the area that
is cheap, I would really appreciate it.
 
This is Somerset West - nothing is cheap here. You can try Cell&IT Warehouse perhaps, that's where I usually go by default. Matrix is right next door to them. I think Cell&IT quoted me about R800 the other day, which is about standard prices.

Trust, delivery, damaged goods! I like to xchange cash for goods. Feel the impulse power Inspect thearticle. Also to many scammers on line.

Ok, I understand where you are coming from ... especially ipulsiveness.
I can tell you that delivery and damaged goods aren't a problem, I have never had anything damaged on delivery ... thats what good packaging is for. And in terms of trust, well I've got my share of people who trust me :p

If you want, give me a chance and you can see online is not so bad ;)

Cerebus, guess where I bought my pc, yes Cell & IT . . And you know what? Tony is a great guy and he helps me with everything but Charles doesn't give a rats ass about helping you with expensive hardware that he has sold to you when it goes stale. Shocking service from his side. All he cares about is his sale. Really disappointed. In my opinion, if anyone here was going there to buy hardware, don't, someone better is more deserving of your money.. I might start a thread against Cell & IT.


Just wanted to say a big thanks to PostmanPot who helped me with prices and really went out of his way to help a stranger.

Pleasure bud, any time.

Sorry to hear of your bad experiences with the above store. Oh well, live and learn. :)
 
Hm, which one is Charles and which one is Tony now? Lol - well the other day I had a problem with my PC and they sorted it out. The thing is you aren't really spoilt for choice here.

The worst place in the world IMO is that one in the mall next to KFC - forget the name. Rudest, couldn't give a toss attitude I've ever seen. And the new place Computer Corp across from the mall now is terribly overpriced.

There is a little place near the mall in the shopping centre with the Deli - forget the name. It's kind of hidden back there so you have to kind of search. But they've been helpful to me in the past.

Charles is the old one.. The one next to KFC is Computer Mania I think? Ya but somerset west is incredibly expensive. I would carry on going to Cell & IT if they had the right attitude since they are cheap but its not worth it..
