233960 2004-05-04 06:29:00 thanks, i might buy from them, i've seen cheaper prices, but I've had problems before, and the retailers weren't very helpful. vierstein (5604)
233961 2004-05-04 06:32:00 thanks. that's very helpful. I'm a bit concerned about customer service though, has anyone ever dealt with http://www.stylespc.com they seem to have very good prices, but i don't know wether there service is any good. vierstein (5604)
233962 2004-05-04 06:45:00 I don't know about Auckland, but I've dealt with PBTech in Hamilton a lot. There is never a problem with warranty or compatibility issues - they just fix it. Great customer service all the time. andy (473)
233963 2004-05-04 09:49:00 I'm using an Auckland PBTech PC right now, I brought it 3 years ago and had problems from get go. I rang PB the next day and told them what was happening so they took my PC back in and replaced the faulty (out of box) motherboard and then also replaced the ram and CPU to ensure that the faulty motherboard hadn't caused any other problems. For the inconvenience they threw me a bundle of CD's and a copy of Nortons (12 months).
Now that is what I call service as they not only repaired a problem they had no real control over....it took about 3 hours before it started to fail.... they also went that bit further to make sure no other problems would arise and then without me asking gave me some extras that would have cost them bugger all but made a big difference to me as a brand new PC user.

233964 2004-05-04 10:18:00 wow, thanks, you convinced me. I'll buy from them :) vierstein (5604)
233965 2004-05-04 10:44:00 Ditto for dipsticks comments
PB aren't the cheapest (or most expensive place around) but their service is brilliant and they are very flexble in the way they deal with problems. (i.e. best outcome for customer)
