I bought my 1st set at FUWELL... They are good at supplying the partand install for you at $20. However very long wait(more than 2 hrs)

 

They generally do not have time to answer so many questions to you...try yourself to see...

 

My last upgarde(2 months ago) approach those auntie leaflet distribtor. Led me to a back store lvl 4...Indian guy(funny accent) did my computer. Very pro and parts prices abt same too.... immediate service..

2hrs still must pay $20? siao liao.

i often go to Fuwell or Bell. most of the pricelists are found below. it's updated every week. if u need help on which parts to change to, u can ask here too becos i dun think u wanna go to sls n then ask them. these salesmen very busy to guide u what to change n i think some will ask u to buy particular parts in order to clear their stocks.

Fuwell also has a branch @ Funan, along with some of the big shops. I would advise if u noe nuts about PCs, go to Funan.

 

SLS is for, erm..i hate to say this..experts or ppl who have done their homework. I've heard of many ppl who blur blur go there, dunno anything and become roberto. Best case scenario is the shop assistants no time to tend to u. What i do is that i do my research 1st, go there, get wat i want and leave. Self-install @ home.

where also the same one la. it does not matter where u buy from, it's who u buy from. it's always the salesman or front desk ppl who affect the image of the shop, not the location of the shop.

[jkaiser]

there is a difference...u are more likely to find a salesman who is not willing to properly explain to u stuff that u're not sure about @ sls rather than funan. That being said, SLS is still a good place for me to shop..

[gabriel06]

just ask a friend to take a look at ur computer first.. den he would know wat to buy.. u dun have to bring ur whole cpu down to sls.. its heavy and waste of time imho...

 

know wat u want to buy den go looking for the best price..

but honestly the same product at the more popular shops the price difference is only about $5 plus minus.. so yeah..

 

the cheaper shops are CASH and Costronics. those that i usually buy stuff from..

I like this shop in SLS. Coz it has wide range of PC components & they have dedicated work shop next door for repair, diagnostic and upgrades.
