This has been a one stop shop for me. I have used this store to build various PCs over the years and have had 0 issues. I haven’t had any compatibility issues with parts, but we have had Central Computers build them all on site after purchasing the parts. I am very happy with the knowledge of the staff, each build has been better than the last one.I have recently moved from the area but I still return to this store because their unmatched expertise.

Nice people, very knowledgeable and friendly. This place has everything that you might need to satisfy your Hi-Tech needs. I was blown away by all the upgrades, my first computer was a TRS-80 Model 1.. thats how old that I am.. I bought a new camera for my office computer, easy to install and works better than advertised. The sales guy was great.

Central Computers is a resilient computer parts store. Other retailers like Frys Electronics and Surplus Computers went bust and somehow Central Computers survived. I love how I can walk into a store and get the items right there and find stuff I didnt know I needed. (i.e. RGB cases/fans/keybards) It is not possible to hear how loud a fan is or how much air is pushed by a 200mm fan online. The prices here are competitive and they have stuff in-stock where they are sold out online. For example, I saw a 6GHz i9-13900KS 24 core CPU in stock. Some stuff like a 5.7 GHz Ryzen 9 7950x 16 core is $590 at Central Computer but is only $542 on Amazon. But if you buy the CPU and a motherboard at Central, they will take -$80 off the CPU and -$35 off the motherboard (-$105 total.) Not bad at all. If something screwed up on my computer, Ive always had a positive connotation with Central Computers and their employees because I can fix it that day without delays. Dont have to wait for parts to arrive online. Love the selection of cat6 cables. Good job Central Computers!

I had a fully custom built gaming PC built here for a great price. People here are friendly, prices are fair, the selection is awesome, and you can get basically anything you need computer wise here.They sell pre-built custom gaming PCs, graphic cards, and basically anything you can think of for a computer. They have an in-house tech shop for repairs as well. Keyboards, large monitor selection, cleaning supplies, peripherals, the selection is huge. I like to think of this place like a smaller and more local “micro center”

Good selection of pretty much everything regarding PC components ( motherboards, RAM, storage, graphics cards, cases and networking ). Lately I see a lot of customers open new items in the store and drop them back on the shelf or take out RGB controllers out of the Corsair fan packs, not really nice behavior especially if you want a business to succeed and keep it afloat.

Central Computers has reasonable prices, fast shipping, and excellent communication. I purchased a highly sought graphics card from their web store (cheaper than online-only retailers) and had it at my door three days later (I do not live in CA). The GPU included a bundled game from AMD, and when I found the redemption code for the game didn’t work, I emailed Central Computers, and a representative got back to me within minutes with an updated code. I will absolutely be using Central Computers for future hardware needs!

Built a custom gaming pc myself, and was having troubles with overheating, was a small mistake and they found and fixed it quickly at a great price, got my system back in 2 days!Would visit/shop again!

I went here 2023 for the black friday sale to buy parts for a new water cooled computer I was building. The people were friendly, but ultimately half the fittings the employee chose for me were the wrong size and then the EMPLOYEE also grabbed parts that werent right, I asked for a pump reservoir combo and he grabbed a reservior body.Now, if the return process had been easy I wouldnt have minded, but the guy helping me not only gave me mismatched fittings, he also was like YOU need to be careful when picking parts man it can be confusing.probably the most infuriating thing someone has ever said to me considering i literally came to the store for help and an EMPLOYEE was the one who picked the parts out for me. And then because the sale had ended I ended up having to pay more money for equivalent parts AND on top fo that he gave me mismatched fittings that looked nothing like the ones I had originally purchased.Bottomline, dont come here for help if youre doing watercooling, not only do they have very limited options but the staff really doesnt know what theyre doing.

Central Computers Sunnyvale tech support was incredibly helpful, kind and understanding, EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT END UP MAKING A PURCHASE OF ANY KIND. Great folks. Thanks!

This is a legit computer parts store, with a fantastic selection of parts and supplies, along with a very helpful staff. I bought all the components for my new desktop build here, and it was all very competitively priced as well. Supporting a small local business, and getting instant gratification feels good!
