Just came in today. Was super happy with John G’s service & how invested he was to help me find a solution to my problem. Highly recommend working with him when you stop in!

The best and last general computer and electronics store in Chicago. Everything from hardware and peripherals to 3D printers. Salespeople are helpful and knowledge. There's plenty of parking.
