I'd like to inform anyone considering purchasing a computer from Campus
Computers to be aware of my story.
I first called Campus to ask about purchasing a new power supply for my one
year old  computer which I bought from them and was told "we don't sell
parts for old computers" and then the receptionist hung up. I called back
and asked to speak to  a tech person which then agreed he knew which PS i
needed and all I had to do was pick it up. I left work early drove from
Vancouver to Surrey and was told again by the receptionist that if it
didn't work or fit that I was stuck with it and could not return it. I told
her what I thought of her and her attitude and left the PS and the Surrey
store for good. Still needing the PS I went to the Coquitlam branch with my
computer and bought the PS. The manager told me they would treat me much
better so I decided to leave the computer there to be upgraded to a PII 233
for 400+ dollars. Pick it up in 3-5 days all parts are in stock.  On day 5,
I call and was told that the parts just came in today ready tomorrow.
Saturday parts just came in will be ready Wednesday. Thursday Parts are in
and tech is installing will be ready Friday. Friday still working on it
will be ready Saturday AM for sure. Saturday 1:30 I arrive to pick it up.
Still working on it for sure by 3:30. I state if not done I will take
computer elswhere (computer still sitting in corner with case on). 3:30 I
arrive and was told no one  knows anything about my computer (nothing done
to it) so I take home untouched. Get home to find it dos not work, remove
the case cover and the CPU is missing. and no explanation to where it might
be. 
PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND STAY AWAY FROM CAMPUS COMPUTERS.
