Linx8 — Attraction in Highland Park

Located right across the street from Stop & Shop, it is easy to find parking. Inside you'll find lots of products and parts lining the walls and tables. You won't find expensive or enthusiast parts (people that shop for those go elsewhere anyway) but you will find basic components you need if you are diagnosing something on your own. Other things like cables or peripherals they also have plenty of those too.

There's pretty much always just 1 person on duty. Usually it'll be the owner or a few other young males, probably college students in the area. All of them seem knowledgeable about computers and diagnosing issues, but as a system builder myself it seemed like they were telling me what I already knew.

I went to these guys to test for a faulty components which both of us had mostly knew one part was faulty, but wanted to check to be sure. I don't think they have a motherboard to test components on, so when they tested my components like CPU, motherboard, RAM, and PSU - I think they just left my parts on a shelf and charged me for having them sit there. I thought this because the cords in the PSU box were packed the same way I left them, either they packed them the same way putting them back in or the gentleman wasn't too descriptive in telling me how he conducted a test of the components.

The elephant in the room is, go to Linx8 or Cyber Knight Computers just a few stores down the block for computer repair or IT issues? Both are capable people and if you have a basic issue you could really go to both. But I would go to this store for product selection while more complicated problems I would go...

I cant rave enough about my experience of working with Link8. I bought a laptop computer from them and months later when there was a slight problem, with no question or hesitancy, they honored the warrenty and repaired it and went above and beyond what was expected to set things up for me, guide me thru the workings and answer any of my questions. I am not a tech person and probably asked the same question 2 or 3 times. I worked with a man named Kyle and he had patience and experience and just hung in there going over step by step until I understood everything. I have called a few times and each time both Ali, the owner, and Kyle have been extremely helpful and very calm and patient walking me thru each point.I was never rushed out of the store or off the phone and only until I felt comfortable did they move on to the next point. I highly recommend buying computer things here and wouldnt go anywhere else.Both Kyle and Ali have made my tech experience painless and now a breeze to work. It was wonderful to work with a store that honors integrity and workshipship and truly puts the...

I first called Linx8 and spoke with Tyler about a problem I thought I was having with my PC. He listened to my story attentively and even asked a few questions about what was going on. I then brought my computer into the shop and was welcomed and greeted. Tyler then made me a ticket and then I felt comfortable with leaving my computer at the shop. I left and after I got back to my apartment, my room still smelled like burnt plastic, despite airing out and removing my computer. It turns out, that there was nothing wrong with my PC and that the problem was actually coming from a plug that is responsible for lighting up my room. I called back, told them I found the problem and then picked up my PC. I felt really bad, wasting their time like that, they even gave it a very nice dusting too. Despite having a very stressful day, I had a very pleasant experience with Tyler and Linx8, and will definitely be going back, if I ever run into any "real issues." Thanks...
