Advanced 2000

These guys are truly skilled techies (my highest compliment). Over the years, I have sent my own laptops for repair (when possible), contracted cabling, Windows ²⁰⁰³⁄₂₀₀₈ server build (multiple times), home and work wireless, etc. No empty promises. I have been going to them for 15 years and they do excellent work.

I needed a power supply for my work/​school/​gaming computer. Since I use it so much, waiting for a new one in the mail was not an option, so I Unilocaled computer places in my area. I looked at a few but none really had hardware, or helpful staff. Then just when i started to lose hope, I found this place. They had a few power supplies sitting on the self, with an option for ordering. The prices were shockingly comparable to the internet wholesalers, and they staff was very interesting to talk to. I build my own computers and they were asking all about mine, which is kind of like being a car guy and someone checking out your car and asking all sorts of questions.
It was a pleasant experience and I had a high level of customer satisfaction from the prices and staff.

I have shopped at this place since they first opened back in the 90’s. The place used to be very small, until they expanded it. The owner and employees are really nice and knowledgeable with computer technology, so if you need help with anything such as upgrades, they will know exactly what you need. They always have great deals and the price is competitively matched or better than online prices. If you want great deals without having to wait when you order online through other places, then come on by. It is a hidden gem!

A small retailer with big selection of computer parts is close to downtown Alexandria, great customer support with patient and knowledgeable staff for all my question and service is relatively is inexpensive I am very happy I found these people and recommend to everyone.

Very happy with the service I have received over the past decade plus. Prices are not too bad when you factor in shipping from most online retailers. If you setup a business account with them you usually get a pretty good discount. All in all a great place to go when you can’t wait for parts and need real technically proficient geeks to fix your machine.

My father swears by Advanced 2000 and I just swear at them.
Based on our contrasting views of the company I would:
1. Recommend you go into the store to purchase.
2. Buy from the website and pray.
I’ve now placed 2 orders as well as sent a general email their way.
Emails went something like this:
Me: We need RAM of this type — is this the correct item and if so how much would the order be?
Them: The sticks are $$ and $$.
Me: So the total for the order would be $$. What is shipping and handling?
— — — — no response — — — – So I went elsewhere.
Next up was a hard drive order. I get a call asking if I wanted an inferior product which I replied no. I think Western Digital is the best, but I could be wrong here.
This time I placed an order for a hard drive and made a mistake, I wanted 2 day shipping. So I emailed them quickly to see if I could change shipping to 2 day. So… obviously I want to upgrade to 2 day shipping. Their email was:
— — — – — — — – — — — – — — — –
Hi,
Dear customer we got you e-​mail …& we will make that 2 day air …& there will be more. it will be. total 24.99 …let us know if you want to do that…
— — — – — — — – — — — – — — — –
My response was immediate — Yes, thank you much!
5 days later (3 business, 2 weekend) I get a call asking if I wanted the shipping upgrade.
So…according to them my emails are getting lost over there.
This does not make me happy.
But, once again, my father loves this place — go figure! I say try it out and I hope the best for you!

A smallish warehouse retail store, this reseller has some fairly basic equipment should you need a quick fix for a computer problem. Power supplies, CPUs, cables, motherboards, HDD, DVDs, etc all available in their parts department — as well as all up turnkey systems. Their prices aren’t bad, but you’ll pay more than you will online — because frankly, they are running a storefront. Still, they have pretty good stocks of wares and can offer most main stream stuff out of their available stocks.
