terrible with warranty would avoid at all cost. tried to return some ddr3 ram which was faulty, they argued they needed to test it before they would take it back. the person who tests products wasn't instore, they told me to come back another day. had to argue with them to take it back. took well over 20 minutes out of my day. absurd!!! also bought faulty wireless earphones another day. the proceeded to test those too. they of course putthem in there ears. plain old gross! as if i would want them even if they worked at that point. on top of this there customer service is awful. i asked a question in store to see if a cooler and case they were selling were compatible. they simply replied "that's up to you to research not us." if principal computers had more stock or a better website i'd just go there all the time. but they are indeed my first choice for any thing computer related.

I've purchased items from MSY randomly in the past, however now that we've been upgrading our smart home devices and increasing their volume within the residence, we've required higher quality networking systems. The store bought systems we rarely capable in running the quantity of products. Open investigating what I needed I was under the belief that my only local suppliers were places like JB Hi-Fi and Officeworks. Low and behold, MSY have been able to stock much higher quality devices at a tiny portion of the cost the major retailers have been selling lesser products. They also supply network cables at a fraction of the cost of the major retailers. MSY is now blmy go-to destination for all of my smarthome networking solutions. If they don't have it in store, you can always have it delivered to you via their online store.

Very competitive prices, with the backing of a nation wide brand, but with the care and customer support of a small local business. They have always been very helpful and offered support and service exceeding my expectations. For instance, I brought my whole desktop tower in this afternoon due to intermittent crashes. Some parts were out of warranty. Rather than push me to replace possibly faulty parts, the gentleman plugged my tower into his test bench, ran a few tests, flashed my bios, and even advised me to hold off on a cpu upgrade for a month until there was a price break. All with a smile and free of charge. Exceptional service! Highly recommended.

  • Michael Anderson

I travelled from Oyster Cove to Glenorchy in the hope of finding a particular cable adaptor after being referred to MSY by a staff member at another store (Jaycar) that did not have the part I needed in stock. They told me that MSY would undoubtedly have the part I needed. Upon arriving at the store I found that not only did they have the adaptor in stock, but that they were happy to give me one free of charge(!) Needless to say, I am completely overwhelmed by this. They will get all my business in future, and I would encourage anyone who needs anything PC related to give them their business!

  • Creative Smiile

Trust me. These 2 guys are self-fish people I ever seen in my life. I come to their shop twice, and bought computer parts before even they are not really welcoming their customers, bad customer service . Today Just 5 mins after i buy some stuff from their shop, I get back to my car and cant start the engine, my battery was dead . I asked them for helping me jump start my car. Their car just right there, in front of their shop and they deny for the help instantly . Never come back

  • EC70 0N3

Great service! don't go to harvey norman for you PC needs, go see the guys at MSY, Professional, Friendly, Knowledgeable and will help you out with no nonsense parts, don't over charge and wont ever suggest something you DON'T need. i wanted a whole new system but didn't want to spend a small morgage on it, they helped me out and i walked out with just under $1000 worth of parts that run like a dream! Shop local!

  • Brett

This is the cheapest and best place in Tasmania to get computer parts. It is a small little outlet - you go in and tell them what parts you're after. I often look at their website to see if they have what I want in stock in the Glenorchy store. There's not much signage and it doesn't look very welcoming but it is there and it is the best place to pickup parts for your PC.

  • Nhan Tran

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICES EVER. I've been here for 2 times, 2 guys in store just wanna kick you off the store, lazy face, so bad attitute and behaviour and avoid all your questions with "No" and that's all. So frustrated. I know they provide the good price ( well, sometime) , but I would prefer you guys wait for 3-4days through ebay with same price.

  • Kasey Whitney

Asked if I could return an item if it doesn't fit, the worker said no then went on about a boxing fee etc. Twice I've been here and twice they haven't been very helpful when asking questions especially when they don't have most of the items you need on display, it's all behind the counter. Pretty dodgy practice and I won't shop from here again.

  • Vincent Fantini

Ordered a CPU online, then went in store to pay on collection, they refused cash as legal tender (understandable with Covid), wouldnt allow a bank deposit and then had the audacity to charge a 1% surcharge on the credit card they forced me into using, would give 0 stars if I could.

  • Ben Goodluck

Easy to find, close to main Rd Glenorchy. Friendly helpful staff, great product knowledge which is exactly what you want from a speciality store Good stock and happy to order in anything they can for you if they don't have it. I will def be going back on payday

  • TasView Photography

Cheapest computer parts in Tasmania! Helpful and knowledgeable staff will point you to the best bang for buck components. Not many items on display and their website is a little clunky with PDF price lists but if you know what you're after tis is the place to go.

  • Robert Green

Terrible customer service. Downright arrogant and disrespectful. They may be cheap, but don't expect anything else. I will be going elsewhere and get good products at a good price knowing I can get the help and support I need. Will never shop with MSY ever again.

  • Jared Schrank

Frank at MSY was knowledgeable and informative. What impressed me most was he didn't try to sell me parts i didnt need and told me what would be adequate for the purpose of the PC. Please support this local business to grow as it offers cheap prices!

  • Eastley Adam

Visited store as I am having issues with my dell laptop seeing it now won't detect any network hardware. Male staff member said he could not help and was not willing to even try. Offered no help at all, then sent me out the door. Do not recommend.

  • Bailey Denman

These people are scammers so they don't care about helping returning when there is nothing wrong with them and I ended up not needing the over priced item.... Look on the bright side if U want to scam people they r the right people

  • Harry Klein

Went in to get an upgrade. They took the side off my case and told me my options and installed my purchases on the spot. Reasonable pricing, knowledgeable staff. I'll be coming back for all my hardware needs.

  • Penguin

Not very happy with the customer service at MSY, Went in store asking about a Ryzen CPU and the man rudely said they haven't been in stock for ages. Website isn't up to date on stock one bit. Small store.

  • Jonathan

Probably the best place to buy computer parts/accessories; internet prices with excellent in-store service. Have bought items from the shop in Melbourne and am happy to see that they are also in Hobart!

  • robspunk

Yeah they really sold me the wrong part then refused to take it back because I opened the box. Principal have gone far and beyond to help me since and I'm pretty sure they'll price match. So stay away.

  • Leigh Wolf

This is MSY! So don't be going in if you don't know what you want. It is a computer parts store so you want to go in if you are building a PC. For advice on these things you might go somewhere else.

  • Joshua Ryan

Easily the best place in Hobart for computer needs. Don't need to shop around as I know these guys will always be the cheapest and have the best range. They also know what they're talking about.

  • Lynton Reed

Great computer parts shop. Best prices and very knowledgeable and willing to help. They will recommend the best component for you even if they don't stock it themselves , great honest advise.

  • Jenny Thompson

Very very bad CUSTOMER SERVICES! Very bad attitude. Get refund by calling MSY head office because they simply forget about it. Always argue with other customers. Do not recommended!

  • Jayden Dingo

Cheap is an understatement.. And not just Tasmania. But australia compare msy with any Australian computer shop and they will 99.9% be cheaper and even American websites...

  • Sean Geltner

A very good PC parts store. They have a good website with accurate stock levels so you can make sure it's in stock before visiting. Prices are also very competitive.

  • Jack O'Sullivan

Very helpful staff. I walked in off the street in the morning and they'd made me a gaming PC by mid-afternoon. Great range of products at very reasonable prices too.

  • Paul Watts

In 2016 I had a custom build done for a powerful gaming machine at Umart on the Gold Coast. The machine has performed flawlessly and I was very happy with service.

  • Jedd Van hemert

Great deals and prices for my new gaming pc. even online bought laptop ram instead of desktop and they happily refunded me and i was able to buy some new ram.

  • Louis Eddington

  • Josh Laredo

These guys are just great, over the years I've been in multiple time and they never let me down! Price A+ Product Range A+ knowledge and helpfulness A+++

  • Greg Reynolds

Service is ok unless you need to return a faulty product, then they claim they can not help, even when they are required to by law, very dissapointing.

  • Nick Cowan (Damnedfish)

If you know exactly what you want. And have a part number. Or even their website open. The transaction should go smooth. Check stock for a fair idea.

  • Joshua

Great staff and awesome customer service for advice and warranty. Best to know what you want before going in but they are happy to help if you don't.

  • Paul Bartlett

Sells great tech gear cheaper than anywhere else. If you need any computer or phone components and accessories then this is the best place in Hobart.

  • julie “redeemed” r
