1222378 2011-08-10 23:05:00 CL for me. Closer to home, service is top notch, prices cheaper, and they just 'click' more for me because they are also hardware nutters like I am. qazwsxokmijn (102)
1222379 2011-08-11 00:48:00 IME in re: returns. With Ascent even if you just received it and call them on the day ... how it's not quite right ... they insist that you return it and they go thru the process before giving you another.

Like I bought a ADSL wireless router, the modem would connect at ADSL 1 speed only. I already spent a week on dialup ... they insisted that I need to spend another week on dialup ... so I just took a 20% hit and get what refund I could.

They didn't do upgrades either, while CL did with my video card. Teh Nvidia would just reset all the time, they tested it coudn't fault it, but they allowed me to upgrade and paid the difference going to a ATI card.

1222380 2011-08-11 10:01:00 I use ComputerLounge. No problems. Bobh (5192)
1222381 2011-08-11 10:50:00 CL. all the way. Free shipping and price matching. Win win win. also if you jump on their forum, billy and revo usually give a discount again if you ask nicely. dpDesignz (15919)
1222382 2011-08-11 18:51:00 Ascent have for a long time been superb re service and expertise. However, these attributes come at a slight price, so they're not often found on the likes of Pricespy listings. Paul.Cov (425)

1222384 2011-08-12 00:29:00 package arrived this morning, I will definitely use cl more often, I notice their Intel 320 series 120gig ssds are a good 40 bucks cheaper than ascent.
anyway, installed the gpu and hdd, started first pop, sounds like a beast with all it's 8 fan glory :)

1222385 2011-08-12 01:21:00 I have made nearly 100 orders with Ascent with never a problem. Always found them to be extremely prompt with freindly great staff. I don't mind paying slightly more for immaculate service.& will continue to use them. fnphoto (2434)

1222387 2011-08-12 02:34:00 Ascent have never been cheap, imo, they just have a really good range. My preference is PlayTech > ComputerLounge > PBTech > Ascent, anyway. inphinity (7274)
