| - As a computer technician for a living, I have a huge need of the internet. And for computers. And comics. And movies. And many, many other things.
Memory Express has been my go-to spot for the last decade. When they opened this location I was amazed at how much bigger, better and brighter it was. You can find nearly everything your little nerdy heart desires. Their prices are very decent and their techs actually know what they're doing. Perhaps I base that on the majority of "techs" at Futureshop etc not knowing what thermal grease is. Or an anti-static strap. MemEx employees (Oh yeah for cool shorthand style) know what they are talking about in the majority of cases.
Don't always trust their recommendations, but trust that they know what a motherboard is. Their site is fantastic for people that know a bit about computers, as it has every spec you'd hope to see about parts to buy. Another added bonus is that many have ratings and reviews for these parts from customers.
The problem is that sometimes you run into the random sales guy that has lived in his mother's basement for too long and has an arrogant attitude about it. I've had this as I had never tried any of a few similar parts and asked if he had or had gotten any feedback. I received a look that said "Are you retarded?" Getting that made me challenge him by testing his true knowledge, and after making him look like a.....wait for it....wait for it....legen......dary......n00b I went to the next available salesman, got his opinion (there were no reviews for any online) and walked out happy after telling the owner of the good and bad. I haven't seen him for many months. YAY!
The owner is always working and is extremely friendly. I haven't had a problem with the staff since basement boy left and overall you won't find better prices. Though if you do...they match it. HELL YEAH! That includes online. Newegg.ca, Tiger.ca, Thisisarandomsitebyblakebecauseheisanerd.ca etc. Look MemEx up. After a couple weeks of a purchase, the part I bought there was a good $50 cheaper than I bought it for and they still refunded the difference. As long as they keep it up, I'll keep going.
