Best computer prices and service in Canberra?

Sorry to revive an old discussion, but I used to use Gemini Tech in fyshwick but they have appeared to disappeared. Mind you I am after the refurbishment of a HTPC (have a very expensive silverstone case I want to reuse and other components).

So does anyone have some recommendations, it has been so long since I even considered assembling a PC.

Hi, I do this stuff as a sole trader. I’d be happy to have a chat and give you a quote, buy the parts, build the machine, chuck out all the rubbish, test and configure it all, come to your place, set it all up and give you a half-hour training/introduction and a proper tax invoice.

So there’s the service part taken care of.

However, expect to pay a about $350 on top of the raw parts price, because service costs money.

Not everyone thinks it’s worth paying someone to do this stuff for them, but there’s seems to be a gap in the market in Canberra for this sort of thing, so here I am.

My contact info will be available here for a week or two: http://region.com.au/drose

buy from MSY online, and pick up from their shopfront in Fyshwick.

Funny tried to do that last night. I select the store, select systems, then select the type I want and it loads up a .pdf with the price list. Bit hard to select what you want off that.

It’s a test. If you can’t figure out how to order from MSY, then MSY is not for you. It would have to be about the worst designed site ever, but it does work.

The reason you have to wait so long at MSY Fyshwick is because it’s always full of people asking dumb questions. Please people, if you’re going there, you MUST know the exact model number of the part you want, ask for it, pay, leave. Should take less than 2 minutes, not 15 per customer. Even if you don’t place the order online you can use the site to check if they have something in stock. I usually do this and then just rock up and ask for it. It sometimes takes a day or two for them to respond to the online orders (cause they’re busy dealing with stupid questions).

My vote is for either GeminiTech (Also known as IJK in Fyshwick) or AB&T computers in Phillip
The former is pretty much direct competition for MSY and the latter is a performance computer shop.

another vote for Eva and the crew at ATM Computers, Belconnen

Best prices
Best service

Pick one.

Over the last few years, I’ve had dealings with the following shops:
– ATM Computers, Belconnen. Good service and a fair price. Not the cheapest you’ll find, especially if you check against online shops, but knowledgeable and helpful.
– The PC Pro, Fyshwick. Bought my last system through them in component form. Had some problems with the motherboard recognising other components; they looked at it, found the error, and replaced it without question.
– MSY, Fyshwick. Probably the cheapest store in Canberra, as they sell at their online price. Service can be slow, but the guys in there are pretty switched on.

MSY on Collie st in Fyshwick, their prices are about the lowest..Even beat on-line pricing for NetGear routers and HDMI cabling- they were the cheapest. Service wasn’t too bad..
