Few months ago I bought a PC in Best Buy(Pentagon City) with an internal modem
14.4.I took extended warranty from a shop as well.I took it there after few weeks for upgrade
(external 28.8 modem) and then the nightmare starts.The worker in upgrade center
opened PC and spent 6 hours on a phone with some service that was triing to explain him
what to do.After six hours I finally got my PC and went home.It was all fucked up.
Nothing was working properly and it took me days to put it together.
The only thing I couldnt fix was my fax and answering machine.So I took my PC to  a friend
who runs computer clinic who opened  my PC and found that internal modem is taken out,sound card(?) is taken out and network component is taken out.None of this was given to me
in a Best buy upgrade center even these were all functioning parts with some value(at the time
more than a hundred dollars)and they were mine after all.When I called store manager
he said it normal that they take this parts out and throw them away(yeah,yeah),and there is nothing he can do now.
My advise is dont go to the Best Buy in Pentagon City to buy PC cause you  will never
got what you payed.They are steeling your parts from PC,"engineers" cant fix a think,
they will ruin your machine  and they rude and not helpful.
By the way I got Packard Bell whos closest service is like 300 miles away from DC.
So what do you do?
