477253 2006-08-09 03:18:00 Computer Lounge may be good - provided you want a high-end machine with the "best" (i . e . most expensive) parts .

If you want anything less, they simply don't want to know . .

That was my personal experience with the only staff member in sight .

If you do a comparison of the smae parts they offer between them and other PC shops in Auckland they often come out cheaper .
It looks expensive because they do tend to do only high end systems .
They will sell you components though, including "lesser" stuff, but they won't sell the cheap crap brands .
And good for them, too many "cheap and nasty" parts retailers around already .
And they give EXCELLENT after sales service .

477255 2006-08-09 05:00:00 I highly recommend OEM Computers (http://www.oemcomputers.co.nz/) in Gt.South Road, Manukau. I've used them for a number of years and they've always treated me exceptionally well with good deals. Their range of upgrades and parts, though not always the cheapest, are very competitively priced. braindead (1685)

477257 2006-08-09 09:24:00 I will also vote for OEM Computers, the 2 beige boxes I bought from them (P450 and P1000) are still going strong years down the line . Asus mobos seem to make the difference .

And the pricing was good relative to others, not the cheapest, but real value for money .

And remember, avoid firstin . co . nz (could not help getting this in, the swines still owe me a replacement PC or refund 5 months down the line)

477258 2006-08-09 09:52:00 I have not a lot to compare with, but have found Advanced Computers in Link Drive, Glenfield, very good .

Ask for Karen (her name in Mandarin is a bit difficult - especially for a Scotsman !! ;) )
