Don't go to Skygate... I've bought things there... The RMA there is crazily long... Took 2 months to repair a motherboard o mine...
Not recommended...

Usually phase out mobo like Asus or MSI take 2 months or more for supplier send back to Taiwan replace a new or repair & send back to Malaysia local retailers usually caught in the middle. I do boycott Logitech products handled by MCL used worst RMA service. May i have opinion which provide fastest mobo RMA. The most retailers provide 2 weeks 1 to 1 exchange if any problems, after 2 weeks ur hardware send to local distro RMA.

Gadget Zone, I got most if not all of my stuff from them. Good service and reasonably priced thumbup.gif

Haven't bought from Skygate so no idea.

As for running 2 places, never happened to me before... Instead, the goods come to me thumbup.gif I usually call before I go, and if the branch I'm going ran out of stock, they'll send from other branch. I don't need to go anywhere else rclxms.gif Price is not cheap? I find their price is already very reasonable, and sometimes the cheapest of all shops I've been to whistling.gif

Wasted a total of 3 hours today just to look for a board, went from place to place... What la... Everywhere also out of stock, Gigabyte so popular meh?

I initially ordered a DS3L from Gadget Zone, waited 4 days for them to transport it from their warehouse and finally when I wanted to go collect today, they told me they sold it... WTF? vmad.gif Reserved already but sold to some one else and didn't even bother to notify me, such unprofessionalism is rather dissapointing from a shop I used to think highly of shakehead.gif

Anyway, went to Penang Island, got caught in a few jams and finally reached BJ. One shop tried to sell me an Asus P5K SE for RM499, reason is because that's his last board shocking.gif Well... He can keep it. Checked out a few more shops until I passed by one, saw the glimpse of a few Gigabyte boxes and went staight in. Was so happy to actually find 2 box of DS3L and 1 last unit of DS3R on the shelf, grabbed the DS3R straight away for RM450, a good enough price right? tongue.gif Don't need the RAID feature but I was so desperate for a DS3 variant I didn't mind paying a lil extra laugh.gif

try pc depot. i always consider their prices are the lowest in penang. but i'm not sure if it's only during promotion periods. good luck!  sweat.gif

loled they put the lowest price mostly means no stock, already well known. Don waste ur time there.

i aslo recommend pc depot coz the price are cheaper compared to other shop.. sometimes it is cheaper than lowyat 4 certain item..
but they are not very good in RMA and after service..plus 4 noob be careful coz they might sell recon item..i have experience that..luckily when i go back there they change it to new 1 back...
it's ur choice to choose which shop is the best..'your call'  nod.gif
