[brlug-general] pieces parts?
Guys, Is there a computer parts wholesaler in Baton Rouge? We have a couple here (Priority 1 and MicroPC) that I buy from, but I occasionally need stuff when I'm in the big city. -- Joey Kelly Minister of the Gospel and Linux Consultant http://joeykelly.net 504-239-6550 ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://mail.brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
Re: [brlug-general] pieces parts?
What are you looking for? Bulk purchases, or you need a place where you can run down and pick up a power supply and a stick of RAM? If it's the latter, there's Computer Heaven just off Florida.

ISTR they sold scrapped parts out of bins back in the 90s (but maybe I'm confusing them with another shop on Florida Blvd.). New retail parts are nice if that's what that place sells, but I'm looking for a wholesaler, since I own a service company. --Joey (computerheaven.com) On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 10:04 AM, Joey Kelly j...@joeykelly.net wrote: Guys, Is there a computer parts wholesaler in Baton Rouge?

You might try going by Formosa on Airline between Florida and I-12, North of Old Hammond Hwy. Mike doesn't really do retail anymore but you might be able to work out a wholesale deal with him. -- Keith Stokes On Sep 21, 2010, at 4:58 PM, Joey Kelly j...@joeykelly.net wrote: On Tue September 21 2010 11:29 am, Joe Fruchey wrote: What are you looking for?

Re: [brlug-general] pieces parts?
Yeah, they totally sell new parts. I'm not sure what you mean by wholesale, when I think wholesale, I think bulk. I bought a bunch of OEM hard drives and optical drives from Computer Heaven a few months ago. Their main business is repair service, but I was impressed by their selection of parts, stuff I could definitely use in a pinch: ATX power supply cable adapters/extenders, a huge selection of cables of various length and gender combinations, VGA, DVI, USB, etc. CMOS batteries, toolkits, yada yada. And since I thought wholesale was ambiguous, I'll go ahead and say that by OEM, I mean a new drive in an antistatic bag with no other packaging. But Formosa's worth a shot as well.

If I sell something to a client, be it a hard drive, USB cable or an entire machine, I purchase it at Priority 1 in Elmwood, mark it up, and still beat most other places they could get it from. Even better, if I throw a busted part on their counter, they give me another one immediately and handle the RMA themselves. --Joey I bought a bunch of OEM hard drives and optical drives from Computer Heaven a few months ago.
