"I've bought in-person from their store any number of times.
Their people are very knowledgable, unlike [name of national computer parts store omitted].
When I hit a problem, they allowed exchanges or refunds with no questions, even when (as with memory) it technically wasn't allowed by their return policy.
So I have no qualms about buying something there.
It should be noted that their selection is not as great as, say, NewEgg, and due to the cost of bricks and mortar, the prices are a bit higher. I am willing to do it anyway for the reasons above.

"Great company and always has some of the coolest tech stuff and great people working there always wanting to help. "
"I am a first time shopper at Altex computers. I ordered a PC case "NZXT H440 Mid Tower Chassis" online with my C.Card. I felt the website was easy to navigate and the price really good. I feel the item arrived quickly, packaged well, and it was as advertised. I am a happy customer."
"I've been to Altex in Houston several times, and they are always helpful and courteous. They not only have what you need for your business, but they cover the enthusiast segment quite well too (water cooling, gaming peripherals, DIY tools and materials, etc)! I would strongly recommend shopping here, and via their online store!"
"Received order in 3 business days. Quality products. A+ would buy from again!"
"I ordered a Visiontek 4770 card from this company.The sales associate Melissa was prompt and absolutely great during my purchase of this item.I have not heard of the company Altex before now.There simply a great company to make a parts for pc order for me from here on out.Thank you Altex for a great buy!"
"The Altex ordering process was good. Most of the items shipped quickly, however, one item shipped separately. When the separate item arrived it had obviously been opened and was missing pieces. It took almost 2 months of talking to various people to get a refund and to top it off, they refused to refund shipping even though it was their order. If everything goes well they're ok, if not prepare for a long fight. Make sure you keep good notes!"
"Ordered battery on 2/05/03 - arrived 2/07/03 - reasonable shipping charge - outstanding service, best I've ever had and I order a lot of computer parts."
