1373437 2014-04-24 08:18:00 Where is the best place to purchase a QUALITY home/business pre-built desktop on the North Shore? Is there any store you can personally recommend?

I want something that will last. In particular, I don't want a crappy hard disk.

I don't want to buy from Noel Lemmings, Harvey Norman and the like.

Someone suggested Ascent www.ascent.co.nz but they don't sell pre-built. Someone else suggested PB but I don't know anything about them.

Intended Use: Home/business/university but NOT gaming.

Thanks.

With those paramaters it seems like you need a mobile/portable machine. In which case Ascent is a good source - reliable, free delivery and good warranty. So go for a laptop with them maybe.

1373441 2014-04-24 11:17:00 From what I have heard PB Tech would be a good place to start.
Will you only be working from home with your PC? Because if you are getting a business computer it would be well worth considering going mobile, so either a laptop or tablet, either of which would be very suitable as a business machine.

What is your price range?

I normally get my stuff from Playtech. So far no complains.

1373445 2014-04-27 04:37:00 On the North Shore I would go with Playtech Agent_24 (57)
1373446 2014-04-27 11:53:00 adding a +1 to the suggestions of computerlounge and playtech. CL probably the best, their CS is apparently unmatched. Haven't used them before though. 8ftmetalhaed (14526)
