EXCELLENT Based on 51 reviews Posted on Nick ClaydonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son was having a very odd issue with his gaming PC, that we couldn’t work out. We dropped into the shop quickly, spoke to Scott and shortly returned with the PC. Within a couple of hours he had diagnosed and resolved this issue and my son had his PC back. Scott was very helpful and friendly and his work was reasonably priced. I’d certainly recommend him.Posted on paul barhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Should probably wear a cape (just like me🙂) Customer service as it should be. Thank youPosted on Alison O'ConnorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service from Scott! He really knows his stuff and is very patient with customers who don't! Very reasonable price too. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyonePosted on Kenneth ButtcombeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 experience, great guys who know their stuff and don't try to oversell things unlike PC World or Curry's. Just came in to grab a couple of HDMI cables and dongles and got exactly what I need for cheaper than Amazon. Will definitely recommend to anyone else.Posted on Tom KirkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just wanted to echo all the other acclaim Scott is getting here, which is fully deserved! I recently decided to get a custom build to replace an old desktop PC. Scott was approachable, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, patient, reliable... basically all the good things people are saying about him. I'd strongly recommend this business to anyone looking for help with their existing computer, or for a new one. It's a real asset to have such an excellent service right here in Ely.Posted on Silver PierreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The lads here are absolute legends! Took my MacBook in for repair on Thursday and they had it ready to pick up on Saturday 🤯 Great service, no silly fees, and super competitive prices. Genuinely don't think I ever would've bothered getting it fixed if not for these guys - couldn't recommend enough.Posted on David ButlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Many thanks for sorting the laptop Scott! Thoroughly recommendedPosted on Rose FrenchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent friendly service. Just needed all my data transferring from deceased laptop to new one but was a bit nervous as had this done b4 by a well known company & they lost half my info! No problem for Scott though who did the job well and in superfast time, all priced well and upfront. Many, many thanks, you came on recommendation and I have no problem highly recommending too.Posted on Christine WibrowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If anyone is in need of a new pc/laptop built to your own spec or a repair - these are the people to use. Highly recommend. Went to see Scott one day and he gave great guidance, I chose my monitor and mini tower, it arrived at his the following day, I took my old desktop in the following day and he transferred all my files, documents, photos, emails etc and then delivered this to me at home and completed the set up even linking my laser jet printer and separate scanner. What a service! And to trump it all I had a ‘blonde moment’ the next day and rang him and he gave me a code to enter to authorise him to take over my pc to show me where I was going wrong. Superb knowledgeable man. Thank you ScottPosted on Omg RonnieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got a custom build from them have to say one of the most perfect experiences i could have asked for as i was not the easiest customer as had alot of questions and a budget to stick to, they were 10/10 the whole way tho answered all questions with great knowledge and we ended on a build within my budget and good specs. Since then i have played every game i want to at max settings with good fps and temps are great and the whole build looks fantastic. For anyone considering pc advice or for a place to buy a custom build i highly recommend scott and his team and without a doubt will be using them again when its time to upgrade.
