[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Warehouse 54 computers and HD Computers: opinions wanted

ntaib@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (Nur Iskandar Taib) (03/27/91)

Among the big, multipaged ads in Computer Shopper, 
Warehouse 54 seems to have some of the lowest prices
on 386 systems. I called and they seem to use qua-
lity components (eg. Intel motherboard, Toshiba HD,
Teac floppy drive, Orchid Pro II video card in their 
33 MHz machine). Has anyone dealt with these people? 
I will soon be enquiring about them from the Better
Business Bureau and will post the results on the 
net. Meanwhile, if anyone has something to say about
them, please post (or mail me and I'll post a summary).
They do not appear in the Products file, by the way.

Another company, HD computers, has prices about as 
low. They got one favorable review in the Products
file, but has anyone dealt with them recently? They
have toll-free support, but only for 7 days (hehe
hehehe)..They seem to use a lot of unknown parts,
eg. Data Expert motherboards (OPTI chipset, made
in USA), Impression monitors by PC Craft, an OEM 
Tseng 4000 - based video card, chinon floppies. To 
be fair, they use the Connor 120 MByte drive. 

Both places offer 30 day money back guarantees.

I have no connection with either place except as a 
potential customer.
