I do not recommend this retailer unless you need some parts that can't wait on shipping. I was ready to buy a new NZXT H7 case and three additional NZXT fans, but one of the fans I needed was still in the back on a pallet. I was told to leave my contact number so they could call me when the fan was unpacked and on the shelf. I walked out and bought everything online at Amazon with free next day delivery. I guess a little effort to get an item from the back was too much work to make a sale. On the plus side, they do have product on display to help you see what you're getting before you buy from Amazon. Edit: FYI, I drove an hour plus from my home just to shop at altex.

Altex is the best kept secret for all things PC and more. Most people fail to realize that Altex has some of the best and knowledgable people around when it comes to PC parts, security setups for your home, and computer sales. Altex has been there for me several times including when I needed to upgrade a laptop and when I needed a replacement case for my PC. Drew and his team were professional, polite and understood exactly what I needed. So, if you ever need something electronic or any computer part or question, give Altex a call. They will help you with anything you need.

Team is super knowledgeable about components. Built my computer from awhile back and Dave (manager) really helped me figure out the right parts and the rig works fantastically. They have other electronic parts you'll need for just about everything. Grateful to have a brick and mortar store in the area!

The assistant manager, Dave, provided fantastic service. He was extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly explained how I could best meet my needs. He was very patient with me, being someone with limited component knowledge. Overall, very honest and helpful, would recommend visiting for your PC needs.

Dave is an absolute legend! He was super helpful when I was looking for computer parts and knew exactly what I needed. He even made sure everything was tailored to my specific computer. After I accidentally messed up my own computer, Dave was there to help me get it back up and running. He knew exactly what I had done wrong and was able to troubleshoot on the spot. I’m so grateful for his assistance and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with computers.
