Their prices seem decent.
Anyone have experience buying from these guys?
Im looking at upgrading in the next 4 - 6 months

Thanks
 
Excellent prices. Fast delivery. Maybe a bit thin on the paperwork/communication side. Bought mobo+cpu+RAM+case+PSU.

Overall I'd recommend them.

Prophecy is also good. Esp for filling the gaps in PCInts list...or if you want something specific.

Very good prices.

Only supply 1 year warranty on Seagate HDDs (even though Seagate have a 5 year warranty) :confused:

Seems dodge.

However, I bought a Samsung Lcd from them - no probs there... :)

One year? Very dodge indeed. Anyone getting their stuff from the official distributor should be entitled to the official warranty. One year warranty, that sounds dodge indeed.
 
bought quite a few things from them and had no problems yet.. haven't had to take anything back though ?

been using them for over a year now though...

They didn't charge you 5% extra, they charge cash buyers 5% less :D

Bought a monitor from them a year ago - no probs.

Unless you sign something accepting a lesser warranty, your warranty is valid for either 2 or 3 years (?), as per the law of the country.
 
I agree with the 5% extra on credit. These days most online suppliers give a cash/EFT price and charge 5% extra on credit and cheque. For those that don't know, it costs a shop money to accept credit cards- the bank charges them 5% on all creditcard income.

Yip.

If it says 5 years on the HDD it is 5 years warranty - just watchout, these guys are "sly".

That being said, I have not had a problem yet (except with an ASUS mobo whose ethernet doews not function correctly). :confused:

ASUS mobos are generally crap. Had far too many comebacks with them. If at all possible try and get another brand such as Gigabyte.

That practice is illegal though, right ?
 
I have used them quite alot, used to get all my stock from them. I have had to take back a few items though, especially mother boards, but then again they were entry level boards so wasnt suprised.

They do charge a 5% surage on credit cards which is a bit of a bummer.. Im busy working out a new machine for myself which i will probably get from them.
 
I've used them before, excellent prices but not such excellent service...

And I've had a talk with someone dealing with the NCA, apparently the 5% surcharge is illegal...
 
Bought my Ram, Processor, Chassis and Monitor from them, all ordered through phone/email and pay cash/EFT in their shop when picked up.
