https://ghostlyengines.co.nz/

I have been searching far and wide for the best bang for buck PC and have come across Ghostly Engines.

Their prices are by far the best, perhaps 10-20% lower than all competitors but I am unsure if this site is just a scam or if it is legit.

How would I be able to tell?

Thanks

Looks like the website owner is a worker at Computer Lounge. The director in fact.

Look up the website here:

Keeping .nz fair for everyone » Domain Name Commission NZ (dnc.org.nz)

where are they in the country?

Probably parallel importing in from overseas

Probably safe, the domain is owned by Paul Pattison of Computer Lounge

The directors of Quantumtech NZ Ltd T/A Ghostly Engines are Yifan Gu and Paul Pattison, who are also directors in PSG Limited who own Computer Lounge so they (Yifan and Paul) have been around a long time

The lack of physical address, and any useful information under "About Us" is a bit unfortunate but you could probably contact Paul @ Computer Lounge to verify the authenticity of Ghostly Engines

They're in Auckland and in the small amount of reviews the customers seem happy on delivery speed so unsure if they're doing that.

Perhaps for the peripherals.

Can confirm the website is legitimate as know a someone that worked on this project. All the PC's are made locally in Auckland / nothing is dropshipped / parallell imported 🙂
