Is PCHub the Best Local Seller of Computer Parts?

Posted on November 3rd, 2010. Written by Rico.

I recently came across PCHub, a seller on TipidPC who not only provides good prices for computer parts, but apparently keeps a wide variety of them in stock.

First off you’ve got PCHub’s PC packages. A pretty powerful computer—with a decent enough display—can be yours for ₱30,000 in cash. Those who can’t spend that much right away can opt to pay around ₱36,160 over 12 months, or ₱34,352 in three.

But for those with larger budgets to draw on, PCHub also sells individual computer components. Now I’m not sure how they stack up with other sellers like RSUN or PC Express price-wise. Yet I’ve suffered my share of out-of-stock problems with both of them, and seeing PCHub’s wide variety of advertised parts is satisfying. Whether or not they actually have the parts in stock remains a matter of confirmation however, but it is tempting to start configuring builds based on the superb advice of Tom’s Hardware: set a budget, choose the best parts for the available money, and buy it all.

My only concern is that before you can avail of PCHub’s apparently low-priced PC packages, you’re required to prove your membership to TipidPC. Whether the seller (who maintains brick-and-mortar establishments at Gilmore, Pampanga, and Fairview) has a special arrangement with TipidPC or want to limit news about their promos, I’m not really sure.

In any case, I’d like to thank Marcus Alianza for bringing PCHub to my attention. He came across the seller as he was wondering how to spend his hard-earned money on a new desktop computer. Good luck Marcus!
