I've had issues with Ginstar as well, but not hardware related.  The 
last two times I've been there they've treated me like an idiot.  At one 
time, I was talking to the guy behind the counter when he asked me a 
question about my needs.  I guess he thought I waited too long to answer 
as I was actually considering the question.  He looked past me and said 
NEXT?

I looked at him and he simply ignored me.  I've not been back since, nor 
will I ever return.

Ah, an upgrade on OS. :)
