As someone not computer savvy but who has had good experiences with MSY before, what are these alternatives?

I buy locally half the time and the other half its http://pccasegear.com or if I need older stuff its ebay, I'm sure there's more. MSY isn't mandatory like it was 10 years ago.

Seconded. https://www.pccasegear.com/ is legit as gently caress and I've been buying from them for more than a decade.

Yes there is no .au in the address. They're still Australian.

You can check out http://staticice.com.au/ which price checks a heap of stores. But be aware that if you are shopping for computer parts on a budget, most places are pretty lax with ethical business practices. I agree with the others that PCCaseGear are pretty good from my interactions.

Never had an issue with pccasegear either. Legit good store. Mwave isn't too bad either but pccasegear is my go-to now.

If you're around Melbourne, there's Scorptec. I used them to get my current setup and it was quick and cheaper than some other quotes.

MSY aren't even that cheap any more. You'd think that by charging the same or slightly more than PCCG they would at least match the level of customer service or warranty on products but they don't.

Another prop for PCCG, I've bought all my pc parts from them for about eight years now (though only spent serious money for about five) and they've always been great. About two years ago I had my first parts failure (motherboard, about six hours in - don't buy MSI boards!), took it in, they did a quick test, said 'yeah it's hosed, here's a new one', that was it.

PCCG is the best PC store in the country and I've used a handful. It's site actually functions and the staff respond to emails. Remarkable.
