Well, if you take a little bit of time and do some research, you could always build your own machine.
Or, buy your stuff at NCIX and get them to build it. I think they charge an extra $50 bucks but at least if something breaks or fries it'll be their fault. haha

Those cock suckers in the store are rude as hell. If you don't walk into that store knowing everything there is to know about the product you want to buy then forget about asking questions as they won't help you at all.

I've always went through NCIX. Prices are fair, service is ok if you know what you need, and their tech is pretty good.
Too bad everyone working there looks like they wanna commit suicide.
SMILE YOU BASTARDS!

I hate the fact that at NCIX if you were to walk in and want to buy something asap it takes 15min to get a invoice. Plus the wait time just to get a rep.

the guy(s) working in the same area are much more knowledgeable
i have no idea why they hired her

I say build you should build it yourself. It takes a few hours at most, you save money, and you get to learn something new.

Another vote for A-Power here, I've been dealing with them for... damn, close to a decade now, they've always done good by me.

A-power & NCIX; big fans of those places. Been dealing with both of them for as long as I can remember pulling apart and putting together computers...almost a decade now, I think. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I've had nothing but good experience with both stores.

^ nope 50 bux
But have you can also do is ask someone on rs, I mean there's many people who built computers here. I for one am one of them, it's like a hobby lol. Sure you might not get a warranty but, for those of us who knows and have A+ cert. It's prob better than some people at anitec / ncix (they hire people with out A+) Posted via RS Mobile | |
