This was my second time there and the customer service was above and beyond both times. The first time my dad and I went there because he wanted to save his 10+ years old laptop, and everyone told him it would be cheaper and/or better to buy a new computer. Nobody listened to what HE wanted. But Altex did, and for way less than the price of a new laptop. The second time I was with my dad again. He liked the store so much he wanted to check if they had some hard to find audio adapters there. This place is big, and the amount of stuff they have on hand is amazing. Plus if they don't have it, they'll try to order it for you. The adapters he wanted right there in the clearly labeled audio adapters and cords section. This time it was me who needed the customer service. I had this obscure question regarding my computer, our modem/router, and a piece of equipment I wanted to use with both. Had no idea how to phrase it, but the rep picked up on what I was trying to say and got me the stuff I needed. Then he explained step-by-step what to do with it. Awesome place. Felt like I was in tech heaven when I was there. And they do military discounts, so that's a bonus.

Beware, they price gouge, almost as bad as an Ebay Scalper, selling items way way above MSRP. They also hold onto obsolete PC hardware that is years out of date and try to sell it at or above MSRP. Great place to buy a 5 year old GPU that's been sitting on the shelf, for 10x it's real value. Right now, 12/5/2020 they have an EVGA 3080 front page on website, more then 20% over MSRP 899$ for a 729$ product. They have the 5600x for more then 10% over MSRP as well. I expect this behavior from online scam companies, not brick and mortar. Try harder.

Well.. this place is really fluid. It changes with the changing technology. I am a Low Voltage tech. I'm telling you cat 6 (8pin) rj terminations have changed.. so have hand tools. This place is keeping up with all the new modifications and service equipment. I was just impressed. Go in..ask for the manager Jacob Wiese. He will make time to speak with you on anything in the store. Go.. go see the new changes

One of the better computer retail stores I have been in for a long time, the associates are very attentive and the techs are up on everything that is available today from mainboard, cpu's, Gpu's they have just about everything you need to build upgrade or wire. Check them out you will like them as well, shout out to the tech I worked with set me straight and got my PC up and running in a flash. Thank you,

My boss sent me here to get a component for our office. Right from the start I was greeted at the door. The guy who helped me was very friendly and all I had to do was show him a picture of what I needed and he took me directly to it. We will definitely be coming back to this location for any other office computers items we need.
