Review: CD-R King Products
Everyone I know has a love-hate relationship with CD-R King. Love or hate 'em: we all know one thing. We can't resist their accessories, doodads and whatnot. Online workers, especially, have lots of needs for PC accessories I am sure I am not the only online worker who turns to CD-R King for assistance.
Me, I love CD-R King. So far, from all the CD-R King stuff I have, only 1 product has not delivered. This is a (believe it or not) 128MB USB thumbdrive (muhahaha) and this was in the early days of CD-R king in the mid-2000s. The store was super new then.
Everything else, I have been lucky to get products that work well and very much a steal for the affordable price they give.
Like my CD-R King keyboard. I totally love it because the only keyboard I wanted to touch were Logitech keyboards. I like mammoth, hardy keyboards that feel like marshmallows to my pounding fingers. Such sweet love... so I wasn't sure I'd like the P140 keyboard I got from CD-R King. Surprisingly, my keyboard FELT GOOD to use, so I'm a happy gurl...
Through the years, I have amassed quite a bit of USB thumbdrives, and I'm satisfied.
What else have I gotten from CD-R King? Mice, an mp4 player or 2, printer ink, stickers, papers, cables, blue tooth dongles, headsets, a cam, one mic, etc. etc. etc. There are more I'm sure but I'm getting lazy to think.
I know some people have bought stuff from CD-R King and the items have gone wonky, but what can I say? CD-R King loves me and gives me products that work well, and I love it back.
So yeah, thumbs up. I find no diff buying branded items and similar items from CD-R King. I hope you get as lucky as me. :-))
If you do get to buy a windmill from CD-R King, tell me about it and I'll post it.
Disclaimer: This is MY opinion based on MY experience with lots of their items. If you are a CD-R King hater, you can rant here if you like but I definitely hold no responsibility for your experience with their items. I also have no contact with them because I don't know them, so fire away at your own discretion.

Thumbs Up for PCGilmore - (At last, a Friendly and Usable PH Website!)
Summary: Excellent PC package online shopping for regular non-techy folks, plus great service at their brick and mortar store. And affordable branded and generic items. I like!
I need new zoom-zoom stuff for work, my Old Reliable has been complaining about old age for sometime now. Through the years, when I needed PC parts prices, I usually go to 2 sites for price references.
But then, I saw PCGilmore online and I love this site: http://www.pcgilmore.com.ph , particularly their Do-It-Yourself section.
I love how friendly and usable it is, particularly for people like me. I can understand some things about how computers work, but not totally. So this friendly page totally worked for me.
You will see below all parts needed to assemble a PC are listed there, then if you click per item, the items will appear in a scroll down- listing the brand, specs and price. Cool.
Then all the other parts for sale are grayed out and cannot be clicked on until you have chosen from each scroll-down. I love this feature because it means it lessens the chance of forgetting to order a computer part you need.
I particularly noticed how I liked this when I asked, "But what if I don't want to buy this part because I have a spare?" Not to worry, you can just click on the first choice -- select one -- then the next computer part will be un-grayed and ready for selection.
Then as you choose, you will find your total bill is automatically computed at the bottom. So if you are on a strict budget, you know when to go back to the item you picked to choose a computer part for a lesser price but will still fit your online zoom-zoom needs.
And yes, it is easy to go back to the first items you already chose and change the specs around, until you get your PC that suits your budget.
Great for semi-knowledgeable, semi-ignorant computer hardware users like me! :-)
Anyway, I didn't finish that order online, so I can't comment on the other features of the site.
However, conversion was not lost. I DID go to their West Avenue office. Because I liked this website feature so much, with clear pricing and specs and package totals, I ignored the other 2 computer stores that I often visit online for pricing (Interestingly, the other one was closed? Shocking.).
The staff at PC Gilmore West Avenue were friendly and helpful, and cheery. I explained that I wanted the prepared package plus minus some parts I wanted changed. No problem. As I waited for my CPU to be given birth to, I observed how knowledgeable the staff are about the prices and the items as they dealt with the other customers. I also scrolled through the prices of their items and I think these are pretty affordable. Plus assembly was quick, I got my CPU immediately and went home happy.
Yes, pcgilmore.com.ph and PC Gilmore West Avenue is a good example of great online experience, merged with excellent real-time service. 2 thumbs up.
