The guy is asking me to send a complaint email to their website with what happened so he can follow up on it. He claimed he's a partner in the company a while back and it was one of his technicians who did the repairs. So either this whole thing is a ruse, or his technician is the one stealing stuff. I intend to let this play out first and then decide from there I guess.

Do keep track of whats going on like saving messages, etc. Can be used as proof if needed.

Yes there are still some. Go backlane and you can see many repair shops with cheapo low-end replacement parts. Any uncle bringing his son's gaming machine there would probably get chopped as well.

The non-con shops selling desktop parts (ie your Bizgram, TP, Foowell) would only "con" you to buy higher end parts :s13:

To be fair, even big retailers will tell u buy more expensive systems.

One of the rare times was GamePro in SLS where salesguy told me buy cheaper benq monitor. Maybe to clear stock.

If you have neither the time or expertise to fix comp related problems, pls don't DIY. Go for big names and pay for warranty support.

Benq monitor vs ? Might be due to what you are aiming for...
