I don't know.

There's many reasons Taz could have said you're a retard. I just picked one possibility.

Maybe he was mocking that retarded shirt you like to wear.

My nose runs and my feet smell.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Silly question, but if buying PC parts from o/s (like a vid card), does it work in our PCs here (I assume yes, but just making sure).

The main point though, is it worth it? ie. do you still get warranty with it?

Should still work, and warranty depends on the seller.

Just check it's PCI-E (which is international standard)

It can come back to bite you in the arse if you get a dodgy seller/dodgy product. But if its a reputable company  then it should be fine.

Might just support local business. Their customer support is excellent (umart).

You serious?

I went in there with my brother to get a keyboard + mouse, (Granted we both look pretty, un-nerdy) and they couldn't care less, terrible manner, and rude, telling us about how we'd ordered wrong or something because we came into the store to order it instead of online.

I'd rather pay 40 bucks more and go to dick smith to a salesman/woman who actually treats me like a capable member of society.

Yeah, but better than MSY. They don't have sales staff per se, you order online, they email you when it's ready (if in stock takes about 30 minutes, or you can just head in anyway), walk into the place, enter your reservation number on the computer, then sit and wait for your name to be called. Found on average their prices to be 10-20% cheaper than any other place around, other than MSY (their site is 10x worse than Umart's, and apparently their customer service needs some training lol).

I realise they don't have 'sales staff' but there was like 3 guys sitting behind desks doing nothing so we asked xD.

Yeah, they don't ever come up to you at all, like I say there aren't any "sales" staff. If you know how the system works (ie. order at home before going in) the prices are great and even when busy the most I've ever waited was like 10 minutes. If it isn't busy you can be in and out in 2 mins.

Anyway, I wouldn't let that experience turn you off them, it's worth another shot

Aye. I had a problem with my 8800GTX and when I went in with my dad, they really couldnt give two shits about it. They called their HQ place area thing and basically told my dad to get stuffed.

But the prices are great

Yeah I know but what got me was there were, how can i say, really nerdy looking people there, and they gave them heaps of attention and any help + were really friendly, then when my bro and I couldn't get the system to work, they didn't give a rat's arse. Also went all the way from mt. Gravatt to Milton because they didn't have the product in stock there, and wouldn't give us a refund.

Flossing with saline solution and Nasonex seem to have worked for me.

Strange. I had a mobo that we thought wasn't working, took it back in, walked me out to their tech support building and tested it in about 5 minutes. Turned out it was working and the sprockets in my old case we were installing in at the time (which we figured out after I brought the mobo back to my mate's place) were touching the underside and causing it to earth, so no power. But they were friendly and helpful the whole time.

And yeah, I've seen a bunch of nerdy ppl in there, but also a fair proportion of non-nerdy looking people (like me, lol).
