Hey guys. i like to share my 'good' experiences in the buying world to help others have good experiences too. well ive got some new pc stuff again and also another good experience.

i just bought myself:

AOC 24" LCD monitor
CM 690 2 advanced case
4gb G.SKILL Ripjaws 1600mhz DDR3 RAM
XFX 750W Black Edition
Galaxy GTX470 Fermi
and some heat paste.

AyWun A1-102 Micro ATX Case with 420W
MSI G41M-E43 LGA 775 Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 500GB


The Second case, motherboard and hdd are for a server. (will have my current ATI 4850 and a Q8200)

i got emailed by Playtech saying that the 690 case i ordered was out of stock so they upgraded me for free to the window side panel version. yet another good deal out of many with these people.

Anyone else have any good experiences they'd like to share? id be interested to see who else is a good company to deal with

Yeah, Playtech are great, although I don't usually buy from them as I'm a cheapo and they are a bit more expensive. But you get what you pay for in service.

really?

i haven't noticed really, i compared their prices to a really cheap store (PConline) and they are just about the same, Playtech include GST with their prices and PConline don't so Playtech look allot more expensive. also the shipping is free above $79 i believe (unless your rural like me and then its $4.50)

Over the last few years I've bought lots of gear from various etailers........... The best and most reliable online service I've had would be from PC Online Shop, Elive, iFocus (Newmarket), Playtech, Computer Lounge, Dragon PC and Tastech. Worst experience ever is from Paradigm PC's (PP) in Wellington....
