Staff has attitude problems! Called them the first time, call was answered by this person named Kevin, who seemed very uninterested and was promised I would hear back from them about a motherboard change for a desktop. They never got back to me. I thought fine, they might have forgotten due to a lot of customers. Second call, a nice gentleman noted my requirements and promised to follow up. Unfortunately, I didn't hear back again.
I called the third time and Kevin answered again and said there was no record of my inquiry and that THEY HAD MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES TO ATTEND TO AND THEY WOULD GET BACK WHEN THEY HAVE TIME. I can't fathom how on Earth they can make a customer feel like their issue is less important and I was just stunned. They could have just respectfully said that the waits are long and our technicians are currently working on orders ahead of me.
I took my business to Pod Computers instead and got my beautiful custom build done there perfectly and was treated with care and respect. Learn to treat your customers respectfully, no matter the scale of their request!

Walked in to buy a cpu cooler a week ago. Besides the fact that it cost literally twenty dollars more than online, I waited for someone to check me out for ten minutes during which time I heard an employee flat out lying to a customer to sell a license for Webroot Antivirus which the customer absolutely didn't need. Giving false information to a customer about Windows Defender. When someone finally came to ring me out, I set the cooler down on the counter and took my wallet out and this lady just literally stared at me for thirty seconds. Finally, I said "isn't this a store?
I'd like to buy this" she responded with "Sorry, I didn't see you." I don't mind paying a mark up to buy local but this mark up is ridiculous especially if this is the kind of service you're going to receive. I had a few other things to purchase but after that experience, nah no thanks.

Simply the best. Very accommodating, professional, knowledgeable and know how to fix things. I've been using them for 27 years to build multiple computers, sell me appropriate accessories and fix things microsoft updates ruined, along with virus removal. No need to go anywhere else

They did nice work in a reasonable time frame and at a reasonable cost. And they didnt try to up-sale me for something I didnt need for a repair i brought it. Because of that, when i need a new machine, i'll go to them instead of Best Buy, etc.

Two different times over the course of a week they received calls wanting to buy a new system. And no call back for over a week after the first call. I have built MANY systems from thier business as well as bought many parts over the many years. I guess the little guy doesn't matter now that have gotten big. I'll take my business elsewhere.

This group is amazing! I've had a lot of different computer issues over the years, including a hard drive crash. They have always solved every problem and can explain what's going on in a language the ordinary person can understand. The prices are great too! I'd never buy another computer from anyone other than them. For about the same price, you can get a computer built to your specifications. So why order one online and have to try to figure it out yourself? Definitely recommend 100%!
