Buying a PC Desktop: Advice Required

Hi everybody,

I'm looking to purchase a new PC Desktop. I did have a laptop that's now 6 years old and it's on its last legs, so it's been a while since I've had to shop for a computer!

Could anybody recommend companies/websites that would be useful? My budget is £400-£500. I do have monitor, mouse, keyboard etc already, so I'm literally just looking for the machine.

Many thanks.

TJM

    Personally I like ebuyer. With that budget have you considered self build?

    Hopping on the dell website and seeing what they offer is usually a good benchmark for comparing other offers to to judge how 'good' or 'bad' a deal they are

    Avoid Mesh.

    Prices may look attractive, but build time is slow (month+ overdue common), build quality is poor (lots don't work on arrival), and customer services...well, I don't think they exist.

    And it's a shame - because their prices DO look attractive.
