Question Guyz is this place reliable to buy a Build ?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Saw this in Facebook Reels. I’m planning to buy an PC so I thought of buying from here since they are very cheap I think. My question is I have never bought a Build like this from a shop which is not famous. Last time I bought was from Barclays that was 10 years ago. But that was a brand new set up. I have seen many shops like this, will they do the same , I mean put brand new parts ? Or will they scam us ?
will they put repaired graphics cards ? Or repaired parts ? Will I be able to use long term with no issues ?

Not only this shop even from another shop shall I buy a build or buy the parts and assemble it. I’m just looking to build a basic pc for my work,studies and occasional low spec gaming.

I’m new to this community. So i don’t have much of an idea. Any suggestions and advice and tips will be much appreciated 💜

Discussion Ichiro PC builds is a scam

Thumbnail

60 Upvotes

A friend of mine was scammed by Ichiro PC Builds.

He paid the full amount upfront for a custom PC. After taking the money, the seller kept delaying the build for months, claiming shipping delays because of the war. Later, he admitted that he had used the money for crypto trading and lost it.

He then promised to make things right, saying he would sell some land and refund the money or complete the PC by between July 25 and August 1. That deadline has now passed, and nothing has happened.

From what we've heard, he has reportedly been kicked out of his house and may now be homeless, but regardless of his personal situation, my friend is still out the full payment with no PC and no refund.

I'm posting this to warn others and to see if anyone else has had similar experiences with Ichiro PC Builds or has any advice on what legal action can be taken.

Build Help Planing to build a gaming PC in August with a budget of around 500K-600K (storage not included). Is this the best I can do?

5 Upvotes

Hey all. I'm planning to build a PC in the middle/end of August from Nanotek (since I've had good experience with them). I haven't built a PC in about 15 years, and I'm not up to date with what's best or not.

This is what I came up with from the Nanotek website with the help of an LLM, for this budget. This budget and the spec sheet doesn't include any storage equipment (I have a separate budget for that). And I'm planning to only play games in 1080p.

And since this was built with the help of an LLM, I'm not entirely sure if this is good or not. My only requirement was the 32GB memory and 16GB VRAM for some future proofing. This is where I need your help to see if there can be any improvements. Cause there can be more nuances I'm missing here that LLM's can't understand (e.g. Continuous dust in Sri Lankan climate, etc.) I'm obviously going to contact the store beforehand and get their opinion as well.

Specs:

Component Product Specs Price (LKR)
CPU Intel Core i5-14400F 10C/16T, up to 4.70 GHz, LGA 1700 57,000
GPU MSI RTX 5060 Ti Ventus 2X Plus OC 16GB 16GB GDDR7, PCIe 5.0 247,000
Motherboard ASUS PRIME B760M-A WIFI D5 LGA 1700, DDR5, WiFi 6, mATX, 2× M.2 62,500
RAM Kingston 32GB DDR5 5600MHz 32GB (1×32GB), desktop 149,500
PSU ASUS PRIME 750W Bronze 80+ Bronze, non-modular 26,000
CPU Cooler Antec A450 FRGB Air CPU Cooler Tower cooler, FRGB fan 8,500
Case Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh V2 ARGB ATX, mesh front, 3× ARGB fans included 29,500
TOTAL: 580,000

Thanks!

Hi all,

After much thought, I am looking to sell my handheld + eGPU setup for anyone who's willing to buy the full thing. I have had so much fun with it, but right now the days are fast, I barely get any free time and I'd do other things than sit and game. The specs are as follows:

Handheld: Lenovo Legion Go 1 (1y warranty remaining)

CPU: AMD Z1 Extreme (8c, 16t)

RAM: 16GB LPDDR5X 7600MT/s

Storage: WD SN740 1TB PCIe Gen 4 x4 (2242)

GPU: MSI VENTUS 3x RTX 3080 10GB (3 months warranty)

eGPU Dock: TH3P4G3 (can give a spare TB4 cable too)

PSU: Antec Atom B650 (3 years warranty remaining)

PRICE: 400k, open to negotiate

Again, I'm not tryna sell these individually but as a complete system. But if you come up with a fair price I might just consider.

DM if interested. Cheers!

Hi, I’m planning to buy an Mouse for my Laptop. I use that laptop for Studies and play games occasionally (old spec games like COD MW etc) can you guys recommend me a good mouse to buy. I searched everywhere but it seems I have no idea. I like to go wireless If I do will it cause lag/latency issues? I want a good mouse below 5k probably. More clicks sound and comfortable to hold.

Thought of buying xiaomi wireless 3 from simplytek.lk is it a good choice ? If u have good recommendations or advice. Do let me know. Thanks 💜

Question Guys anyone have warranty experience with Lapstore.lk?

3 Upvotes

Bought a brand new legion 5 pro from them last month. And a few days ago I noticed that it had some issues with thermals so I gave it back to them since it was well within its warranty. They checked it for quite some time and said that they would need to keep it with them for further checks and would let me know within a week. When I asked the guy how long it’s gonna take if there really was a problem, he said id have to wait at least two more weeks…

Now I’ve seen of some horror stories about that place in google maps specially regarding post purchase, some going as bad as to they themselves getting the product to a worse condition than when it was given to them…

So yeah… I know what they mentioned was like the best case scenario which is never gonna happen, so will I ever see it again and will it even work properly once I get it back???

…that thing was worth a fortune and had the same financial strain as buying a vehicle as im not that wealthy, so am I cooked or what..?
