Computer Parts

  When it come to Computer Parts I often get asked by a customer is should I use the parts from my old computer in a new computer. My advise is if the computer is more than three years old I would advise the customer not to use the older parts. You would be better in the long run to go with all new parts. This is generally because you will have all new updated components that have manufacturers warranties on them. I have seen way too many times when a customer has had the pc service center use their old parts only for them to fail a short time down the road and then they have to come back and are not happy. So do yourself and the pc service center a favor and go with all new pc components. As a rule industry says that computer components are old as soon as they are out in the public.


  If you are purchasing a computer part from a computer service center or store watch how the computer part is packaged. In other words does the package look like it's already been used. Has any tape on the package been previously opened. Also is the computer part is a esd static bag where it is not sealed or looks like it's been resealed. I have seen service centers use a computer part for testing purposes only to put it back on the shelf and sell it as new. These are very poor business practices and these service centers should be avoided.
  So finally for all your computer parts I would check out any reviews on the particular component you are thinking of buying. Amazon and Ebay can provide some very excellent reviews. Some of the dealers on the internet may also provide some reviews. One trick I would watch out for is the service center the writes there own reviews. Does this happen well unfortunately yes it does. Sometimes you can tell, because they service center uses some strange name or they write the review in a way where you just can tell it's not a legitimate customer. Well I hope this give a little insight on using computer components in your computer builds.

PC Service

  There are some things to watch out for if you take your personal computer in for pc service. Watch out for changing warranties. In other words the pc service center does not give you the information on the warranty on the repair they provide. I have seen some pc service centers that only inform the customer of a short warranty period when in fact they have a longer warranty period. Another trick some will use is the adding of small amounts of costs that start to add up to a large fee for service. If you buy a computer from a service center check the components they install in your new computer. Make sure none of the parts are older. They may be from a recycle bin or they may have been from stock that has past it's manufacturer warranty period. I have seen where some companies take parts out of a computer that was returned and use them in a new computer. Believe me there are many bad stories that unfortunate customers have gone through. If you know of a bad company or have had a really bad experience put the information on as many reviews sites as possible. Bad companies should be taken out of business and stay out of business. Finally watch out how the service center person speaks to you. Do they come of as being a know it all or do they talk down to you. I would also watch out if they start making nonsensical analogies to get their message across. It may may you the customer feel as if you are stupid and beneath them. Those are the kind of people you need never go back to. Nobody is stupid just because they don't understand something.
