Called last week and they didnt have thermal paste? Very odd for a computer repair store. Tried to go in this week to pick up a CPU (i7-4790k), which is a pretty normal, close to top end CPU. He does not carry any of the CPUs that even fit that SOCKET TYPE so I cant even buy a more or less expensive cpu to match my board. OK fine. Now he berates me that I should have bought my cpu and motherboard together. Ok, so I ask what he has and he has the next gen (extremely expensive, 400-1k+). So I ask him if I can get one of those and a new motherboard to support it, but he doesnt have any motherboards. Again he berates me for not buying my parts all at the same time, which of course I cant even do at his store because he has no parts. Basically, this place has zero useful inventory and the staff is very rude. Im surprised its still open, given that he sent the customer in front of me away empty handed and turned down potentially a thousand dollars in business from me.

These guys are TERRIFIC!!! Not only did they fix my computer, so it now runs like new, but they also fixed things I didnt even request! I like to listen to concerts - they fixed the volume. The boot up process took forever, now it works better than it did when I bought the Toshiba Satellite laptop. They even threw in a wifi antenna, which fixed a HUGHE pb. I was having, with the computer going off line (because it was over heating). For under $100. I got a new computer!!! I would recommend Cosmic to the Dept. of Defense and Executive Branch of the govt.

Cosmic Computer provides honest services at very reasonable repair rates. Recently I brought in two computers; my main desktop had a nasty Trojan which they removed from the registry (I tried and couldnt do it myself, and I have a background in IT), and they also replaced the hard drive on an older laptop, giving it another couple of years of service. The owner is conscientious and easy to communicate with. The shop deservedly gets high Yelp ratings from the many customers who have had good experiences there.

I have always found the staff helpful in the store. They listen carefully and have on occasion spent time discussing a problem resulting in no need to have them repair or review the problem. Also, they seem to work with just about anything, seemingly no matter how old. Sometimes they might just say its better to buy a new computer/laptop then spend the money trying to repair your problem. Ive been very happy with the times Ive been to the store.

They do not know professionalism and cordiality. My Dell xpsL had a problem of hard disk and memory according the error message, but this pseudo-technicians said "it is a software problem". I paid $165 after 2 visits for the same problem. They did not refund my money because misinterpretation was made by a no written order of my solicitude. To be clear: they have not written down any of my solicitudes or had a questioner form.

Excellent work and troubleshooting of most computer problems. They breathed new life into an old laptop that I needed to use for another year before buying a new one, and they were willing, and able, to build my high-end machine from parts that I bought online, and they did thorough testing afterwards. I cant recommend them highly enough.

I signed up with Google Plus just to write this review when I saw someone had the audacity (or ulterior motive) to give them less than five stars. This is a fantastic shop. The guys are so incredibly friendly, the prices are good, and they do what they say - fix your computer or give you the hard truth that it is gone. They rock!

Tried to use this local shop instead of Newegg/Amazon to build a new PC. However, the guys didnt give me the impression that they wanted to get my business. For a multi-thousand dollar order they didnt get back to be quickly. After nagging them one time too often and not getting a reply in time I decided to go with Amazon.

very nice people. honest and reliable - they have often advised me against upgrading certain components even though I was ready to buy. will use for future Mac and PC help - I always waste time trying to mess with something myself when they can do it so much faster and at a very reliable price.

Very affordable, friendly and trustworthy shop. I have had two experiences here. They fixed a smashed laptop screen for less than half of what the manufacturer was asking and opened up another laptop to replace/re-rig the power-in which has remained sturdy.

David and Andy have always been very helpful, honest and reasonably priced.they have rescued my Mac for quite a few breakdowns, glad I can count on them.

Quick, affordable, amiable, and knowledgeable. What more can you ask for in computer gurus? Every time I have a problem they always help me out.

Margaret Elam

Owner took time with my laptop and fixed it as best he could. Did not charge me.

This place sucks. The workers are so cocky and all they care about is money.

David is very helpful and informative. Quick service and good rates.

Not the place to go for a gaming rig. Supply is severely limited.

Great service, low pricing and very friendly and knowledgeable.
