Looking for Good Shops in Houston

[Poritz]

Hello I am looking for some computer shops in Houston, TX that have good prices and wide selection. If you know of any please respond. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

Computers as in already built or computer parts?
If it's just parts, then I would go with Fry's or an online store like newegg.com
If it's prebuilt computers, then I'd probably go to the website of the maker (like Dell or whatever...)

There are a few Houston AT members I know of. Maybe they can help. Maggotry and DevilsAdvocate.

I'm looking for parts mainly.

Fry's has a great selection (probably the best of a B&M IMO). It's out around I45 and Beltway 8. I don't know if that's a far drive from you since I don't know where you live, but I think it's a good place to check out. Look at their ads in the Chronicle.

Hell yeah! Maggotry's got the Houston hook-up!

Directron - They're at Harwin and Beltway 8 in one of those industrial parks. Great people to deal with.
AxionTech - They're on Stancliff right off of Wilcrest. They're also in an industrial park. The punks running the counter all need spankings. They're not as easy to deal with as Directron. I'll pay a few bucks extra at Directron any day to avoid Axion. But, if Axion has it and Directron doesn't, well, I just suck it up and go there anyway.

Both of these are on the SW side of town.

Know what you want before you go there. The stores are basically warehouses. Very few products on display. Find what you want on their site, put in the order, then go pick it up. That's the best way to do it.

Pretty much what Maggotry said...

Axion Technologies - My first choice. Very good stuff that is reasonably priced.
Directon - Another good place to buy stuff - especially modding stuff and cases.
Fry's - North Houston of I-45 and West Road. Tons of really great deals weekly.
