Shop looked impressive although I didnt have enough time to have thorough look, will save that for another time when bank balance looks healthier.

694011 2008-08-01 05:27:00 I've found over the past few months that PBtech has gotten expensive compared to some other shops around.. paulw (1826)
694012 2008-08-01 09:31:00 They're opening one in Auckland CBD too soon. Hopefully they'll have some monitors on special :D beeswax34 (63)
694013 2008-08-01 09:41:00 I have to agree they are not always the cheapest but I do keep an eye out for specials. I have been in the market for a new printer, wanted laser but ended up with a colour laser printer for the same price I was prepared to pay for a B&W printer - also got toner for half price which actually worked out 30% cheaper than buying ink for my inkjet printer.

Opening specials are often better than the run of the mill specials so thought worth a mention.

694014 2008-08-01 20:46:00 PBTech have done very well over the years. Pat upgraded my 386 to a 486 many years ago when he was still working out of a scungy little upper story room at the end of Panmure. Pat still has an office at the Mt Wellington branch and still works too hard. Bantu (52)

Lets hope he has learnt from his early mistakes and doesn't become the next PC Company .

I had to almost take him to the Disputes Tribunal back then before he changed my 40mhz CPU to the advertised 66mhz .

I have never had any problems with him. I have dealt with him for many years on and off. Some of his stuff cheaper than Ingram appeals to me.
