Okay... so I bought one of their Maxtor rebadged drives. After linking it up to my sister's computer to back up some files, I proceed to have a problem after reinstalling the OS on her computer. The hard drive isn't being detected in her computer or mine. Just great... I fried my hard drive. I call CompUSA to get nothing but garbage for a menu and I can't make it in there before they close. Damn them for not having people answer their phones! :|

Hm... called compUSA three times this week and got a CSR in under 5 minutes each time. I think there were like a maximum of 2 buttons to press.

And your rant is SUPER weak. Go load up on some more piss and vinegar and come back. Go look up a couple of shinerburke's rants for a good example.

I think you'd be mad too if you were using a 233 MMX and lost a hard drive that was worth more than the whole computer.

Lets see, I call up Antec about a dead powersupply. Guy says they can cross-ship if I give them my Credit Card number, otherwise I'll have to wait for them to recieve the drive. I figured what the hell since I'm not scamming anyone. Want to know the kicker? They supposedly shipped it on Monday and I haven't gotten anything. However, I shipped the Power Supply out on Tuesday and they recieved it yesterday...

I went to CUSA for something on a Monday morning. Myself incluede there were 3 customers in the store. I asked for help at the customer service desk. 3 overhead pages and 10 minutes later no one showed up. I just left. Sad how they were overwhelmed with 3 customers.

I have never been able to talk to anyone on the phone at CUSA. They never pick up.

I still can't believe that this person expected someone to answer the phone at a CompUSA, or what he was trying to accomplish by getting them on the phone in the first place.

Really. What were you calling about?

I would have headed up there, but I wouldn't have made it there in the 12 minutes I had left after my hard drive went south. I tried calling to see if there was any way they could test it or what they could do for me.

That clarifies it a bit.

Now, with that being said, if there is a problem with the new drive that you bought today, just return it to them and get a new one.

it is very hard to fry a hard drive.

Even if u fried it, WTF u call them if u already fried it ?

move your ass, bring the drive back to the store. Simple as that.

Stop your stupid rant.

I've got my own mini-rant:

The fan on my GF4 crapped out and DSUB with my LCD makes my eyes bleed, so I sucked it up and went to the local hardware store to just buy a new fan. The only fan they couldn't reach the power connector on the card with its dinky wires. I went to CompUSA and went to the Computer Repair desk thing (because it was directly infront of the enterance and I'm a lazy bastard.) Some middle aged guy with a pony tail insisted that they didn't have any HSFs for video cards, but he said I could use a chipset fan. wtf. I wandered back where these chipset fans were and found a section of video card HSFs, and picked up a nice Thermaltake GF4 solid copper HS/fan/RAM sinks. It was like $10. I actually walked back to the same guy to show the guy and he gave me one of those half-assed I-won't-admit-I-was-wrong-so-I'll-make-up-some-obviously-bullshit-excuse lines. I just paid and left in disgust.

I feel sorry for the poor guy that follows that "trained expert"'s advice and sticks a 40mm fan on his latest/greatest $400 video card.
