PB Technologies ???
 

Is this the Old pegasus Electronics firm..?


They seem a bit funny, different prices for each town you buy from..


So using price spy is a big waste of time with this firm.



How come a CPU in Wellington is some $20 dearer than Auckland from the same
firm..

Maybe they get them down one at a time and the importer is AK based.

Most definitely they are in no way related to Colin Brown's Pegasus
operation.

The stores in other towns are a franchise operation and set there own
prices. They source most of their product from the Auckland PBTECH.

I have never had a bad deal from them and even use the Auckland website
to buy now that I am not in that town.

for what its worth these clowns refused to take back a faulty hard disk claiming i
had not purchased it from them. I had misplaced my original reciept and they said
the serial number wasnt one of theres. i needed a new drive. went to purchase a
new one from paradigm as they were the cheapest and just heppened to tell them
about waht happened and they offered to attempt to replace it under warranty for
me. 4 days later i get an email saying they can replace it and that it was
originally sold to PBTech. Pack of lying morans. and thnaks to Paradigm for the
free service, they rock!

PBTech is not hamilton based and is in no way associated with Colin
Browns Pegasus Computers.

PB in Auckland label drives and much of the hardware coming out of their
store. Never had any issues with their service or the quality of their
products. Been purchasing most of our stuff from them since around 1994.

I find this comment by JB quite surprising.

I've dealt with PBTech on many occasions over the last 3 or 4 years, mostly
because they are just a short distance from my house.

They always have plenty of stock, the staff are quite knowlegeable and
helpful and their prices are generally good.

On a couple of occassions I've had cause to return faulty or incorrect
equipment and they have always exchanged or repaired it without question or
issue. I totally recommend them.

I also live not too far from PBTech

This has also been my experience.

I have had a couple of PSUs that were not compatible with the M/Boards that
I was trying to use them with, no problems swapping them with another
brand. This was two separate occasions.

I have bought 2 of their Samsung 1GB Flash drives at around $160 incl GST
each. They are fast and work well, very handy to have on hand.

I also love my Cooler Master CM Stacker case and my 2 Centurion 5 cases,
great cases, much better than the cheap ones I was using.

Their range and prices are really fantastic, I regularly recommend them to
customers.
