A local small computer business with good selection and helpful staff. Although it is typically cheaper to order computer components online, it's often easier to go to a bricks and mortar store to see and touch things, like computer cases. Altex is a Texas-based business that specializes in electronics, and specifically computer parts. As far as I am concerned, they blow their main competitor, Fry's Electronics, out of the water with their level of knowledge and service. If you are ever clueless about your computer, or looki... read more

They go the extra mile to help you with your computer needs! When we called around for computer parts for our PC, no one wanted to help us.

The prices are lower than most too! I like ... read more

Knowledgable, good selection. These folks really helped me get through tech school with their knowledge, expertise and assistance with electronics components. I started shopping with them when they were on Metric Blvd. I like the larger store. PROS: Good selection, good staff. CONS: It's on I-35 and it's depressing to have to go in I-35, ever.

Helpful and Great Place to get Computer parts! Altex is the greatest place in the area to get most any computer parts you're looking for. The staff is ALWAYS helpful and spot on when it comes to computer knowledge. The prices are very low and if you can repair it yourself you'll save a great deal! C'mon $12 for a 3 1/2" disk drive is awesome! PROS: Awesome Prices - Computer friendly Staff! CONS:
