mga bro, nag-plano ko mo set-up ug lain na pc pero nag-libog ko kung asa mas mau palitan! daghan man gud nag ingon na nindot sa Gaisano Interpace den maka-barato pod daw! ang blema kay ad2 man ko kasagaran mag-palitan sa pcx nya ok rah man pod ang presyo! mangau unta ko ug suggestion ninyo kung asa mas mau aning duha ka tindahan in terms of prices, quality, and warranty! salamat kau mga bro!

^^ it all boils down to which store has/have the item/s u r looking for. quality and warranty all depends on the branding.. prices uhmm to which store offers the lowest price.. Imho ^^

I buy from both stores. That's because not all products can only be found on one store alone. But if you're planning to buy one set, might be a good idea to buy on one store. Here's what I see from both:

PCExpress
- Pros: Good stocks/service, knowledgeable technicians, consistent prices (based on website - dealers price if you pay cash)
- Cons: You pay a fee of Php 300 if you're going to let them assemble your PC (I don't know if the assembly fee is still the same now because I didn't let them assemble my rig after they implemented this one); Some prices are higher compared to G.I.

G.Interpace
- Pros: Good stocks, Free assembly, **Cheaper prices (see cons also)
- Cons: Prices are VERY Inconsistent (website prices don't help at all --- +2.5% for cebu), they will only offer **cheaper prices if you say that Store X/Y/Z offers this price, and then they'll go lower on that one; Most staff are not very knowledgeable on parts/upgrade options (you have to do your own research);

Overall, I don't stick with just one store. Both stores have their own strengths and weaknesses. If you know what you're looking for, might be a good idea to hit up G.I. (enthusiast); but if you don't know any PC stuffs and you don't have a techie friend, I'd suggest you go to PCExpress. Or if you insist with G.I., bring a technician with you to help you out which component to choose.

salamat mga bro! ni tan-aw ko sa pricelist sa interpace and naka himo ko ug list sa akong gusto nga specs then ni abot nah xa ug 21K..... ako gi compare same specs sa pcx, mas mahal man dd2! then according to kazki,

"G.Interpace
- Pros: Good stocks, Free assembly, **Cheaper prices (see cons also)
- Cons: Prices are VERY Inconsistent (website prices don't help at all --- +2.5% for cebu), they will only offer **cheaper prices if you say that Store X/Y/Z offers this price, and then they'll go lower on that one; Most staff are not very knowledgeable on parts/upgrade options (you have to do your own research); "

ahak.... libog mode na nuon da! mas mau ani mo-ad2 ko sa store then mangutana ko kung pila jud ang price and kung pila ma-discount!

bai, IMHO, for me go for Gaisano Interpace, mka barato jud ka and free assembly. mao sad lgi nuon, dili knowledgeable ang mga staff, pero take it from me bai, if ikaw mo research, mas mau kay ikaw mka pili sa mga good parts, rather than sila mo ingon nimo nga mas mau ni, mas maau na, pero in the long run, ikaw ra mag mahay. IMHO

[truelegitballer]

salamat kau sa inyong suggestion mga bai! ako man sad hinoun nag search aning mga parts! ako ra gi-pili ang available nila nga parts nga sa akong tan-aw nindot nya d kau mahal! salamat jud kau ug dako!

PCX: Formality and consistent with their pricing. Workers are formal too.
G.I: I hate their workers but idol nako ang manager coz magka sinabot mi. (ugly receipt ugh..)
