the pc shops here are joke they have no idea about computer parts. they will sell you anything and say yes sir same same. I ask them for AMD cpu and motherboard they tried to sell me two different sockets types. they said yes yes AMD same same. Most of their stock is 3years old and they want to much for it. If you want the latest which is still 9month behind rest of world. they want 3times the price as it would be in USA. all the stores are own by same guys and all bought thru KSA. so you can't even ask them to get you what you want in.

only place i found is in the street behind sofitel called tornado computers he mainly sells gigabyte stuff and he knows about pcs

Box:24063, Doha, Qatar

Tel:(00974) 44315590

I use to build systems back in Australia but here i have to wait till I go on holidays. last system i built was when i went to Germany. which was two years ago.

all top of range parts(motherboard, CPU AMD 2x6 ( which is better the intel), DDR3, x2 crossfire ati cards, SSD harddrive) cost me 700 euro. rest i build from tornado computers monitor case 800w power pack blueray dvd burner. the other shops had bad brands of power packs.

Would these guys have hard drive enclosures for 2.5" drives? My laptop died and I want to backup all the data from the hard drive.

If they don't have that, you think they'd have something that would let me connect the drive to a desktop pc?

last last several items I purchased, I did so at Carrefour, and they were cheaper than I could find at Sofitel.......

I think Sofitel is being hit hard by the increase in costs, and Carrefour isn't.....

Wish I saw this yesterday, I could have saved you a journey. SSDs are not yet available in Qatar.

Try Amazon
