Where does one go to pick up last minute computer supplies in Hawaii?
I need a PoE switch to do some interoperability testing. I called Radio Shack and they did not know what PoE is. I used to go to CompUSA but they are gone.
I assume there must be some small local supply shops that I can go to . . .
OfficeMax starting selling more network equipment after CompuUSA closed, but its still limited. If we can't find it at OfficeMax we usually order online.
check with a VOIP/PBX dealer... there should be quite a few here... but don't expect a good deal. If you can wait a couple days Amazon/CDW has good deals.
Best Buy has Netgear poe equipment. You can also check Discount Electronics in Kalihi (epartshawaii.com). A good local IP/PBX provider is Alohatone (alohatone.com). They can definitely get you whatever you need to get you up and running.
Graybar is definitely best for commercial item (racks, cabinets, patch panels, etc.) but I don't know about their inventory of networking equipment.
Mika... remember that little project i was talkig about ? Especially now that circuit city is closing this may be the right time to do it. what you think ?
