PIKOM PC Fair 1-3 August

a....its the time of the year again for the PC fair....the day for geeks to get their computer and accessories for a decent..rather "Cheap" price...in other words..u might wanna call it a warehouse sale or stock clearance sales..^^..my bad if i offended anyone...it just seem that way to me..

Anyway..for this 3 day period...The PC fair is held in 4 different area with the largest one being in KLCC(Kuala Lumpur Convention Center)..Well..its pretty much the one i visited today..^^

Arriving Suria KLCC at 10.30...me and my dad gotta wait half an hour like the crowd...and ya...there is pretty much a large crowd there...u might call it a small scale comifest like those of japan...if u know what i mean=)..watching "Genshiken" might give ya an idea on it...

The PC Fair here is split up to 8 section..

First of all...u got the Convention Hall
-Well...u got Kodak booth here..as well as F-Tec...all the booth are crowded with people...promoter come up and give us brochures and pamphlets..one after another...When in Rome...do as the romans do..When in PC Fair...just take the pamphlets..it mean no harm...at the end of my journey i eventually have pamphlets as thick as my icpu physic book..= =

-There is this Sandisk booth operated by The All IT shop situated in both Lowyat and Digital more...They are pretty much selling Memory cards and Pendrive as well as mp3/mp4 at a rather large scale...they sell one every minute?..perhaps more..^^...i bought a 8gb sandisk pendrive anyway...for Rm84 and i got Rm10 worth of petrol voucher..u will get Rm5 worth of voucher every 4 gb of purchase..^^

-Nothing much interesting is there for me at this place so i head to the nex spot with my dad...

Next is...the Banquet Hall..
-Here...is all the booth that is related to sound system...its the battle of the basses and sound system...the floor is shaking and my eardrum feel as if its gona blow anytime...the sound are loud..and some of them are really god quality speaker..but i have a pretty decent speaker my self..so me and my dad just walk through..and collecting more "papers" as well as hearing the chanting of "Buy 1 free 1....Buy this free this..." and so on..

The third place to visit is the Ballroom
-Various gadjets are sold here....pendrives~memory cards~Cooler~PRinters and refills and more
-Defintely...more "papers"...more chanting....we do hear "Cheap this and Cheap that~"
-I bought a 16 inch laptob bag here for Rm99...tried it at home just now..works pretty fine..
-Bought 100 Dvd-R and 2 Dvd-RW
=My dad bought a USB game controller equiped with vibrator?=/

The last 5 places are linked...Hall 1 - Hall 5"
-Here is the main dished...lots of promoter giving out lots of "€Papers€"..
-There are some decent stuff to look at here...Kaspersky antivirus 2009 at a cheap price..This antivirus is rated as one of the best ^^..it's priced at Rm 4x for 1 user and Rm7x for 3 user.
-My bro is waiting for us at his hostel so we do not have time to look through this area...we rushed and leave..^^

That pretty much concluded an hour and 10 minute of my first visit to PC Fair...and i pretty much think i won't come here a second time..the amount of people being here is scary and i might as well visit Lowyat for all my needs..^^...Well..i did not post any pic due to the fact that i did not take any decent ones
Reasons?
