Decent website, needs to be able to filter by brand, price etc once you select a category though. Also so many different 8600 and up brands but no 3870's

i give it 6 months.

Shitty prices, I give it less. Can pick up a 500Gb WD hdd for half that price online (sure its local for you guys, but thats not the point). At that price difference, it's just silly. Graphic cards are already out of date. Meh nice try.

You are not the target market.

and I feel sorry for those that are.

It's just a shame prices have to be pushed so high for Darwin. I know for fact wholesale price + freight to Darwin for a lot of that gear would be so much less then that. I suppose however demand and initial setup costs are the main reasons for the added overheads and profit margins on those prices.

It's still disappointing. All the best to them, but it won't last, rarely does.

let's all get behind them guys. Will end up checking this store out this week sometime.

I reckon if the Commonwealth/Federal Gov't opens up Darwin as an economic gate to Australia from Asia instead of Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, things will be a little different. Darwin has the correct infrastructure, so why wouldn't it be given a fair go?

WA is getting the bigger share of turning the national economy, and now that there's a lot of prospecting going on in the NT, it would be a good reason for Darwin to get a better piece of the pie. Think of what it will do to GU.

lol we have external 500gb hdd's that are less than their price.
and that is from a retail darwin price.

Their sales side of things seems to be just one avenue for their business.
According to their website they offer quite a few features such as web and database design.
Who knows, maybe they will do okay?

That computer shop in Palmo has been open for ages Terrabyte? But I think the majority of their business is repairs.
