Nick Artman (5/5 stars, 8 months ago): If you're expecting to find a 3060 or a Threadripper CPU this place isn't for you. If you need a hard drive or a Windows XP machine for a little nostalgic experience this is DEFINITELY the place to go. I always go here for my hard drives on older builds or if I need a cheap keyboard and mouse or just for the fun of browsing their random neat tech they get. I live in Florida now but when I visit my family this week this is definitely one of my stops. They also have some decent selection for RAM

I didn't leave my recycling on Monday because everything was overflowing. There was a few dozen glass jars and bottles on the ground in front of the glass bins as well as a few items (most notably a bed frame) that should've been @ the dump. I went back on Tue...same thing. Wed and Thur...no change. Friday...the bed frame was gone as was other garbage items. I finally called on Friday to find out how long it before the bins would be emptied. The woman on the phone was very argumentative insisting the bins were emptied every morning. When I told her about my experience she said once they're emptied they fill up again very quickly. I called BS and told her the area had been that way for several days. She told me to hold and that she would transfer me to the place that managed that area. She came back on the line and told me "they would get the forklifts out there." Whatever THAT meant because when I went back today there was virtually no change. I found a little empty spot on the ground between the plastics bin and stuff that people had left in garbage bags next to the bin. I found an empty plastic bucket to put my tin recycling in. I'm somewhat ashamed of myself for leaving my recycling the way I did but even more ashamed of whoever is supposed to maintain the area. And even MORE ashamed of the woman I talked to that felt she had to lie in order to appease me. I wish I had taken note of her name. I would like to direct this to her...if you know a lie is going to piss someone off you'll only make it worse by lying about it.

Cassandra (5/5 stars, 5 years ago): Made my friend leave a review too he was against it because these people are the best ever and he doesn't like to share. Truly everyone here deserves recognition I'm not computer literate at all but these guys have everything they're so beyond helpful and WILLING always to go above and beyond. My friend got me a keyboard that was missing a piece I took it in and left with free batteries the piece and feeling loved from them just standing up for what's right. I know politics are so easy to ignore out of safety but as someone hated on both sides it just feels real good to know people are willing to stand up for those who can't always do so. Rock on you guys. Stay sweet. I wish you were open more often but only because you're amazing. Thanks for existing!
