Compustar

Compustar is my go-​to computer store.
If you want to put together a custom set-​up, I don’t think there is anywhere in the city where you can get a better price.
However, yes, you have to know what you’re doing and what you want. If you are one of those people who wants to get a single box with everything you need to get on the internet for one price, this is not your store.
I actually got my computer at the 18^th Ave. location — the guy is of the opinion that the staff there are slightly more knowledgeable/​helpful, but I’ve never had a problem with any of their staff, anywhere.
I also had my system repaired/​upgraded there when I had a hard drive crash, and they did the job well, reasonably quickly, and charged a reasonable price. (Unlike the OTHER computer place I took it to first, in midtown, where they DID try to rip me off!)
Most recently, I just came here for a cable — they quickly showed me exactly what I needed, and it was only $ 5. Quicker and easier than ordering online.

Complete rip off and rude people. I am done giving them business
