Where do you buy your desktop PC?

fantasyvn

There are so many websites and stores which sell desktop PCs that I don't know which to choose.

Could you pls give some of the names that you trust, in terms of price and customer services?

It seems to me that Currys or PC World don't have competitive prices these days.

My sincere thanks,

website - pcspecialist.co.uk

store - John Lewis

I have bought desktop PCs from both and were excellent on customer service

parts ordered from ebuyer.com; amazon.co.uk or if i'm struggling to find them in stock perhaps other places like overclockers or dabs....

self build on the dining table

then I pop on to alienware and see how many £££s more i'd have had to pay for the same machine which they'd have taken weeks to build (last time was a £1100 saving )

www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk and www.advancetec.co.uk are supposed to be OK but I haven't bought from them myself.

The last complete system I bought was from www.novatech.co.uk many years ago. They've always been reliable when I've bought parts as well.

Bought my desktop from Overclockers.co.uk. Had a problem with the hard drive and they sorted it out quickly.

Ebuyer.com are good.(Bought my netbook from them)

I bought mine from Apple. Easily the best customer service in the computer industry by a wide margin.

Thank you for all your replies. I cannot build my own, so want to buy a decent brand.

I have used three successive Dell laptops, so I want to change for a fresh air. Right now, my options are either Acer or Asus.

What do you think of these two brands?

Its a good job then as their hardware reliability record % wise is worse than Asus, toshiba and sony and just marginally better than Dell.

My first two were Dell and both gave good service. This laptop which is one year old is a Sony and seems very reliable. Anything that goes wrong is usually my fault . I bought the laptop from John Lewis, a shop I am growing to like very much.
