Good computer shops?

19 September 2005 | colsim

Hi all – I’m looking at upgrading the desktop beast with a couple of schmicky new monitors but am having a deal of a time finding websites for local computer shops to get some pricing. The listing in the Yellow Pages is minimal and the few I’ve looked at (Techwarehouse and Cougar) seem on the exxy side. (Not really interested in the Hardly Normals, Dick Smiths, Harris’ etc either)

Any recommendations?

Do Best Price Computers have a website?

Try Buzzbyte Computers

It’s a guy operating out of Aranda I think.
No shopfront but he’ll deliver stuff to your door and let you pay COD. No hassle and good prices.

Many thanks everyone – this have given me a few more choices – I think I’ll cruise on down to the computer fair on the weekend and see how things go there.

Thanks, Harold, I hadn’t heard of them before. Their prices seem better than Harris’ & Cougar’s, but are still significantly more expensive than many interstate retailers.

I’ve heard good things about Home Computer Centre in Mawson.

Look under parts list.

I’ve heard techwarehouse is good as well, although there was a place doing deals at non-Canberra prices in Phillip a while ago, again, can’t remember the name.
