I've even said (though I didn't mean it) that I hated my computers. I've several times threatened too throw my computers our of the second storey window. But I just went in to buy a USB. Which I did. But I didn't think the purchase was enough to properly give a review credibility. So I tried to start chatting to the guy serving me. There wasn't anyone else in the store, at the time (it was midday), so he didn't have any qualms about talking. He started to give me free advice, like how often I should defragment and deformat my computer. And then we breached over into the topic of computer games, and we started to swap stores and (virtual) experience. I started to get so into the conversation that I'd forgotten why I started it in the first place. And hell, I even learned some things. These guys love their computers. That's all there is to say, really. That's the kind of people you want to leave your expensive equipment with, and at the Adelaide Computer Superstore, that's precisely what you're doing.

The worst retail experience I have ever endured. I was sold…read morethe wrong laptop battery despite providing serial number and model details. I checked no less than 3 times with the warehouse guy during 3 separate telephone conversations. I was assured 3 times that the battery they could supply would suit my computer. It did not. When I presented myself and the incompatible battery for a refund the proprietor took the battery behind the counter to the office/store area to check that it was "one of ours" ... "It's just normal procedure" he said. He reappeared several minutes later claiming that the battery I had returned was indeed not one of theirs. The lengthy "discussion" that followed eventually resulted in a begrudged refund ... no apologies or attempts to supply an appropriate battery for my extremely common Macbook Pro were forthcoming. In my opinion the warehouse guy was having a very bad day when he supplied the battery on the day of purchase. The front counter sales person on that day is an honest bloke and supported me during the "discussion" on the day of return/refund. The proprietor on the other hand is shonky at best ... beware ...

I ordered a new PC case, which arrived as expected, but turned out to have a manufacturing defect…read moreand thus was DOA. I emailed their support pictures of it, and followed up twice more in the coming days but never heard back. Eventually I had to call them, and they said that they could not just replace the part that was damaged - which was considered a spare part - but that I would have to return the whole thing, and it would take two to four weeks to be assessed and replaced. I told them this was not not be suitable, so instead would like a refund, but was then told that they could not guarantee a refund. Having looked into it, I found I was within my rights to receive a refund, so called them back and arranged the return. At first even though it was an online order, they wanted me to drive (3 hours) to the nearest store to return it, but I made it clear I was not going to do that, and they seemingly begrudgingly agreed to generate a return label. Whilst I was thanking them for their help, they were monotone and unenthused the entire time. They also said that they can put a request in for the refund, but it may still take a number of weeks. This also does not align with Australian Consumer Law. I won't be buying from MSY / Umart again, and would encourage others to note how poor their online reviews are now. I didn't check, as I know previously they were a good company, but I did not notice Umart had acquired them.

I like to go into Harvey Norman occasionally to remind myself why I shop online…read more They have a decent range and the occasional helpful staff member, but getting a decent price requires the annoying dance where you ask how much something is and then ask again how much they can do for cash. After that point they will try and sell you over priced accessories (like a $49 HDMI cable or $100 power-board) and an extended warranty that you don't want.

I think I have been a little spoilt by other Harvey Norman experiences…read more The service is average and very hard to come by, understandably because they don't have enough staff on the floor on the weekend. But when you do get someone to help you, they are knowledgeable, not too pushy and have a wealth of information (even if sometimes they just read off the box and tell you what it means). The range is limited but it certainly is a lot better than many of the other appliance and tech stores in the CBD and compared to the competition. But if I'm not in a rush I would probably head down to one of their superstores for a better range. So yes overall I am a bit meh'd here but it certainly wouldn't stop me going here first if I had to shop for appliances or tech things in the city. I also love Harvey Norman's return policy. If you don't want it, bring it in and they'll return it quickly and easily for you.

iNet Zone is both a computer parts retailer and internet gaming cafe. Compared to some of the great…read moregaming cafes in the area like CyberHive and Aztec, iNet Zone pales in comparison. The monitors hooked up to the PCs are ancient, and the gaming hardware isn't too much better. You might be able to play the classic Counter Strike 1.5 or possibly WoW, but don't expect the graphics cards to drive anything beyond that level. If you're hoping to play an online game of MW3 with state-of-the-art graphics and movement, your best bet is try one of the places down the road. Honestly, how many non-flat screen monitors do you see knocking around these days? The fact that this is a gaming cafe makes it even more embarassing. The parts on sale aren't too shabby - you can buy monitors, power adapters, CDs and DVDs; all the PC and notebook necessities. But again, you're likely to find these products for a better price at a place like MSY or online. It might be worth doing a bit of research before you commit to buy.

It's okay if you're just using the computers to browse the internet, but yeah, they're mostly…read morepretty ancient, and the monitors are fairly shitful. I mean, I just picked up a 24 inch monitor for less than $160, surely they'd get a better deal if they bought in bulk. Oh well, I'm not running their business and I'm sure they wish they had the latest and greatest. I'd be thinking about re-pitching the business to people who aren't interested in gaming so much. The hardware for sale is okay if you're only looking for peripherals, but like Trent, I hit up MSY for anything like that.

Hey people.... I am very excited to share my experience of my iphone screen repair at GR phones…read morelocated in sefton plaza. The best thing about them is their customer service as in the way they explains the things. I had my iphone 8 plus screen broken and had to travel overseas on the very next day. It was a horrible feeling having a broken phone. I just found out their store and went there straightaway and got it fixed in less than 30 mins of time which was truly amazing. They have added one loyal customer into their list. Highly recommend. For any kinds of repairs whether they are samsung , iphones , tablets, ipads and laptops as well, just straightway go there without any second thought. Thanks GR phones for such a lovely service and for providing me best quality screen with 90 days of warranty. Cheers guys.. keep rocking!!

This is where MSY used to be located before they moved up the street to a larger location, however…read morePC DIY follows up with the service MSY provided before, which was good tech at a good price. What many people don't know is that if you're looking for cheap laptops, monitors, cameras, computer parts and accessories, the first place you look shouldn't be in JB Hi-fi or God forbid, Myer??? It should be in places like PC DIY or MSY where you can get things for up to 20 to 30 percent cheaper, depending on what you buy. The last time I was there I was looking for a HDMI converter cable which I managed to get one for a significantly cheaper price compared to if I had gone to the likes of Officeworks, which is another store I do love but for different reasons. If you're looking for custom solutions, you can talk to the people in the shop and they will help you design a computer that suits your needs and price tag. Walking in, you'll be greeted by a large front desk where there is usually at least one shop assistant. They may not seem super friendly to some people who come in for the first time, but they are helpful and straightforward. Most of the people who go into the shop usually know what it is they are looking for and they tend to expect those kinds of customers that walk up to the desk and simply ask them for the component or tech that they are looking for. Whenever I'm looking for cheap good quality tech, the two places I will think of are PC DIY and MSY.

This place has slightly better service than MSY. Of course, MSY has basically non-existant…read morecustomer service. I do occasionally drop in here when I'm after something, but this place is pretty much always my second choice. I've found (and maybe you'll find differently) that MSY is that little bit cheaper, and I can put up with not having my hand held by staff when I'm looking for computer stuff. But there are times when my first choice doesn't have exactly what I need, and that's why I end up here. Ian's reminded me that it needs to be emphasised that you should never, ever go to places like Harvey Norman or Dick Smith's for HDMI cables. Not that long ago, a metre of HDMI cable at those places sold for over fifty bucks. Now they're down to around thirty bucks. At the same time that they were fifty bucks at other places, I bought a three metre HDMI cable here for about fifteen bucks. Good shop. Like it. Prefer MSY, but this place is good too.
