    Custom gaming rig
    Tony F.

    I just had a custom gaming rig built by Kevin. He did an amazing job and I couldn't be more happy with the transaction. I live in Washington state and had a lot of concerns spending the kind of money I did but the pick up went smooth as butter. Will definitely be going back for future needs.

    Good person. The only good person in the whole store.

    No no no no and no. While my dad was checking out having finally gotten the correct laptop (the first one he bought was not correctly described in its listing and we bought it believing that it had an Ethernet port. We ended up buying a different machine after several stupid wasted trips.) David asked for the restroom. It was clear that he was asking on my behalf. The woman who answered sneered at me and said "we have no public restrooms." I've been here before. This was her responding to me. Shaming me. Condescending to me. Looking my fat body up and down, scornfully Of course her co-workers stood up for her when I took her picture. They chased me and demanded that I delete the pictures. They told me in a desperate ploy "we have no plumbing." I pooped in my pants. I hope they all enjoy the life they deserve. If only it had been a few seconds earlier, we wouldn't have bought anything from them. My dad always loved this place-- primarily for the books, but that section is so small now that if you blink you miss it. I guess reading is out of fashion. The cashier was nice. She had nothing to do with the incident. I grew up in Chicago, tragically. Let me tell you a little bit about this place-- if you are fat you will be treated like trash. I can't wait to get home to Nevada.

    I got the opportunity to work the initial repair tech to get my computer repaired. The poor communication I had with the repair tech and lack of professionalism really made it hard for me to trust that area at Micro Center. The third time I came in the repair tech that worked with me called, Jonathan Sinkovits, sales supervisor. Jon was by far the most professional person I have been able to work with and communicate with. He told me he would call me when he finds out what was going on with my computer. He gave me all the information and solutions and even recommended what I could do for repair. Jon really helps someone feel comfortable and does what he says he will. Jon definitely should the the store manage as he has a great understand of customer services and all aspects of what Micro Centers values are.

    Micro Center, as discribed by my husband, is a nerds heaven. So many different parts for your computer, in beautiful color options and even tools to help you learn to code. There were aisles upon aisles of products that I had no idea what they were but my husband sure did. I really wanted one of the light up colorful keyboards but it's not what we were there for, so maybe next time. They did well keeping up with covid restrictions, having someone help with hand sanitizer at the entrance, arrows guiding people thru the store and lines on the floor to keep people distanced while in line. The line also ran fairly smoothly and quickly, even when it was at least 10 people long. I am confident we will be back here and next time I'm definitely getting things to make my computer super colorful.

    When I moved to Chicago seven years ago I had no idea where to shop for a new laptop so I asked the IT guy at my company and he recommended Micro Center. It turned out to be such a good recommendation! I purchased a Toshiba laptop then and recently went back to buy another laptop, a Lenovo. Even though several years had passed from my Toshiba purchase and my recent Lenovo, the customer service and the selection of laptops on hand were great! Both times the staff patiently answered my questions and provided all the information I needed to feel comfortable in buying a new laptop. I also think Micro Center offers a pretty competitive price for the quality. The store itself is pretty dated inside, but I'd rather deal with that and save on the price of a new laptop! It's a no frills kind of store with a lot of computer laptops, equipment and gadgets.

    Prices are a bit higher than online, but the service, especially the repair people today are A+. They have everything and know their stuff.

    Do they teach people new to the PC community how to mod? I like the ones I've seen in resident evil 2 and have no idea how to do it on Alienware.

    They do have build your own events. May be similar to what you are looking for. Anyway you can always call them and ask.

    I can't say enough great things about Matt. He absolutely saved me this week…read more My Lenovo laptop completely failed to boot after a graphics driver cleanup utility corrupted the Windows boot configuration and recovery environment. The system was stuck in a recovery loop, BitLocker was triggered, and Windows wouldn't load or even reliably enter repair mode. Multiple shops I called said it would take several days just to diagnose the issue. Matt turned it around in essentially one day. He was able to manually access the system, unlock BitLocker, repair the corrupted boot configuration, rebuild the necessary Windows files, and get the machine fully operational again -- without wiping my data. That was critical, as I had local files that weren't backed up to the cloud. Beyond the technical expertise, what impressed me most was: * Clear communication * Fast turnaround * Extremely reasonable pricing * No upselling, no unnecessary "reinstall everything" approach He diagnosed the real issue quickly and fixed it correctly the first time. If you're an independent contractor who depends on your machine daily, or you run a small to mid-sized business and need reliable, competent IT support, Matt is exactly who you want on your side. Look no further. Highly, highly recommend.

    I normally don't write reviews on here, but I felt that others should know about my experience. To…read morestart off, I should mention I am not an expert in computers & technology, but at the same time I am not a novice either. I have fixed and modded computer components & have built PC's plenty of times on my own. First time I went here, I went to get my 15" Macbook Pro Retina laptop screen fixed, an easy repair. I went here because I was too busy to do it myself. Sorin (lead repair tech) advised to replace my broken screen with a used screen to reduce the repair cost. I said thats sounds good and proceeded. When I got the repair back, the screen itself was dirty and the metal lid had tape and residue on it. I understand that the replacement part was a used piece, but he couldn't spend 5 minutes wiping it down and making it look presentable? This was a $500+ repair. At the end of the day, it isn't a big deal, but the reason I mention this is because it is relevant for my next experience with him and this business. My $7500 custom build PC that I had built, suddenly no longer could boot up, POST or enter BIOS. Sorin offered a diagnostics test for $80. I agreed as I needed to confirm which of my parts was malfunctioning so that I could process a warranty claim with the brand. On the phone, I had asked him if I should bring manuals - he said no. I bring in my PC and I tell him I will be right back as I left my power cable for the PSU in my car. He admentently says I don't need to bring it in (without even looking at my PC). Okay fine...I'm not going to argue with a "professional". I also asked if he would like to be provided a list of the parts in my PC to help him troubleshoot more efficiently. He said nope, no need. I drive back home. Next day, I get a call from him and he tells me that he did not realize my PSU (Corsair AX1600i) has a different plug and that he requires me to bring in my power cable. Great. Now I have to drive all the way back to the store when this could have been avoided if he took 30 seconds to look at my PSU when I first came in. I get a call from him later and explains the tests he ran. I should note that he said he was not fully able to test my CPU (3970x), GPU (RTX 3090), or motherboard as their shop does not have the parts needed to run a in-depth diagnostics test on higher end computer components. *This is why I originally told him if he would like a components list of my build when I first came in.* Basically I paid $80 dollars for a rudimentary diagnostic test that was not comprehensive at all in my opinion, as the CPU, GPU, and motherboard are the most important components of a computer. Fine, I guess this is the best I can get for an $80 dollar diagnostic test. I promptly ask him to put my PC back together so that I can pick it up. When I arrive at the store, he hands me my PC back and he said was not able to get the front facing fan on the CPU cooler mounted properly onto the heatsink. Um...okay...your business is called "PRO - Technology Professionals", but you can't even mount a basic CPU cooler onto the motherboard? I also noticed when he put back my GPU, he did not plug back in the power cables for it. And he also reseated my memory sticks incorrectly (pic included).He clearly put no effort in putting my PC back together. Do you not take pride in your work? Completely sloppy. This kind of leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but again, not a big deal to me, so I bring it back home. When I get back home to inspect my PC closer, I noticed the reason he could not mount the front facing fan on the CPU cooler is because it was the incorrect fan. My CPU cooler (be QUIET! DARK ROCK PRO TR4) has 2 fans that need to be mounted onto its heatsink. I don't understand how he could have messed this up because the two fans are both different sizes and only one of them fits on the inside. Instead, it's clear he forcefully jammed the other fan into it as it is basically impossible for it slide it in otherwise. It is astonishing he did not try to look for the manual online, or bother to call me to confirm how to correctly put the CPU cooler back to together. This was not a AIO or custom loop liquid cooling system... This was a simple cooler with two fans. The only way I could pull out the fan was to break the rubber gasket on the heatsinks - thereby damaging both my fan and heatsink. I call him and address my complaints and was ultimately met with an attitude. He tells me I need to bring my computer back to the store so that he can remove the fan. I refuse as I am not going drive a third time back and told him there is no way to remove the fan without damaging the cooler. I am normally a easy to work with guy and I am usually empathic to certain situations. I didn't even ask for a full refund and was compensated a $20 dollar refund. That doesn't even begin to cover my $90 CPU cooler. To have my $7500+ dollar PC disrespected like this is completely unacceptable. Avoid this place.
