285269 2004-10-28 01:53:00 Do they have a web site? I can't find one.
What is their computer dept. normally like. Do they carry a full range of parts?
They have a new mega-store about to open in Rotorua. Should I feel exited about that, or are they much the same as the Farmers?

285270 2004-10-28 01:57:00 I wouldnt get excited, unless you like paying over inflated prices and receiving advice from salesmen who cant tell one end of a mouse from the other.

They generally hold stock of simple PC parts such as mice, keyboards, printers, ram, harddrives etc. You'd struggle to buy a CPU or motherboard and the range is limited often only the cheap and nasty brands.

I hate to say this but DSE have a far better PC section, although harvey normans do have a big games section which is quite nice.

285275 2004-10-28 03:05:00 Then you'll just have to wait until they are.

A web site won't really give you much of an idea of what their retail outlets are like. Other peoples opinions are simply that - other peoples opinions. Also Harvey Normans stores are all franchises, the one in Wellington is very poor whereas the one in Porirua is OK. Porirua also seem to have more specials too.

Lucky they will be soon, might have some specials on keyboards so you can get one that doesn't have a broken caps-lock key.

285277 2004-10-28 03:21:00 They are constantly overpriced,they dress crap up to look like gold,and then suck in the dollars with interest free.

They are a furniture shop with a computer department,The math should be obvious.

Even DSE would put them to shame.
