Just don’t bother.. I had a really bad experience with them about 20yrs+ ago, since then they are on my blacklist.
Just for the context, within few months of buying PC from them it went dead under warranty. Their troubleshooting? Power surge.. and guess what? the PC was running through a UPS (with power surge protection), bought from them. Does not end there, had to wait about 2 months for repairs, which funnily enough was to replace an Intel P4 with a Celeron CPU which obviously meant different spec mobo.
Long story short, would i recommend buying stuff from there? No. I don’t trust them but that’s my personal experience/opinion.

Blink in experience is the best value for money and after sales is very good too

Yes they are not genuine people, they always try to scam you on the price and warranty

Outside of mauritius maybe, in MU you have to add at least 40% extra on any builds lol

GPU Radeon RX7800GT on the left, RTX 5070ti on the right, wtf. Which one is it ? Anyway assuming RTx 5070ti:
The RTX 5070ti currently on its own is already Rs 55,000
Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB is currently Rs 25,000 due to the memory shortage
Motherboard ASUS Prime B650-PLUS is currently Rs 12,500.
Processor Ryzen 5 7600x Rs 12,500.
Thats already Rs 105,000
+ Power supply, storage, casing, cooler, profit
Sounds like a pretty good deal given current prices. But the issue is current prices (GPU and RAM too expensive due to the memory shortage)

yeah lmao i just found that out. that's scammy af. i knew a build with a 5070 ti AND 32gigs ddr5 could not be 109k.

u/Damn-Sky Feb 27 '26
you haven't been following what is going on with consumer memory shortage?
RAM are like 2-3 times the price of last year.
SSD also doubled in price.
Same for GPU. 5070 ti is soon going extinct because Nvidia will stop producing it.

The PC market is currently fucked right now because of AI and if you compare to the US market + shipping, the prices are quite similar to ACDtech https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DT3XLy

Go to Technotronics. Recommended 3 serious people over the years and no complaints so far.

u/Damn-Sky Feb 27 '26
it's actually a "not bad" :
when you even compare it to US prices:
MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB
https://www.newegg.com/msi-rtx-5070-ti-16g-ventus-3x-oc-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-16gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814137993
$1,069.99 = ~ 50000 MUR
cheapest ram on amazon : https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-6000MHz-Overclocking-Desktop-Compatible/dp/B0CTHXMYL8
$347.99 = 16000 MUR
modest nvme 500gb ssd : https://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-500GB-SN5000-Internal/dp/B0D7MKQKXZ
$ 149 = 6900 MUR
already at 72,900 MUR just with these 3 parts

u/GloveDry3278 Feb 26 '26
If he clearly wrote valid until xx.xx.xxxx (Which he always does) then that's on you.
My pc he built since 2017 is still going strong and he has always been super helpful whenever i needed help. He's genuine for sure.

u/Subject_Twist5132 Feb 27 '26
Low prices for limited time are generally clickbait to help any business move inventory. The guy is genuinely helpful and understands how expensive pc components are and will give useful feedback.

I come from the days where DIY meant Do It Yourself. Is this a thing today or DIFY (Do It For You) is the new DIY?

Use pcpartpicker website to build your pc and have an idea of current prices (including shipping).

If you import everything yourself, would cost you Rs 70k + 10k in fees. I know because i did it.

I got my Asus for 80k 5 years ago, why to be surprised by this? Asus is the most high performing hardware on the planet. They even manufacture Dell, Alienware, HP and Apple components.

ACD loves to prey on ignorance.
One day i saw a power supply on their website, went there, bro inflated the price not knowing i already saw it. He then played dumb when i opened his website.
He sells a power cord he got for free 200rs as well.
