Computer shops at SLS
-
I am planing to assemble my own pc from scratch.
Do you buy the individual components from separate shops at SLS, based on the lowest price? Or is it better to buy all the components from one shop, based on reputation?
Please name those shops you feel are more trustworthy at SLS. -
CASH is good, i got my custom PC from there...remember to bargain.

Buy from one shop but find the cheapest shop that give you value for money..Most of them the prices are around the same so save your effort of buy individual parts from diff shops..you will be very tired after that so find out the prices then lock on target then bargain till he say ok ...

I went thru the countless price lists I have collected. I find that Video-Pro's prices are lowest. But I was told, their after sales service (warranty etc.) sucks. Anybody can confirm this?

dunno, but i know CASH after service is quite good.

yup!Originally posted by Croaking_Toad:I went thru the countless price lists I have collected. I find that Video-Pro's prices are lowest. But I was told, their after sales service (warranty etc.) sucks. Anybody can confirm this?
their after-sales service sucks big time...
if you buy some parts and everything working, then good for you...
otherwise if you need to go back to them because something wrong, then goodluck... -
check the prices properly...
they usually come bundled (last time lah... dunno whether they still practice this)
e.g.
RAM, CPU, m/board very cheap
but you MUST buy casing from them (which will cost a bomb)
usually it's a good idea to get everything from one shop and get them
to assemble and test that everything compatible with everything else...
(that's what I do lah...)
saves you time and trips to SL sq (which can be quite frustrating
) -
Some shops have them (CPU, motherboard) bundled. Others don't, these days. So which shop you recommend, if not video pro?Originally posted by kalangkabo:check the prices properly...

anyway, check your PM -
I always buy from this shop called Fuwell. Even my lastest DIY PC have most of it's part brought from them....
Pay Cash or Nets is the best....... almost all the shop charge 3% for card.
Go to www.hardwarezone.com.sg to check under price guide.... they have a list in pdf format of almost all the DIY shop's price list in SLS.
Best of luck with your DIY PC........
