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.

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

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 are0

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.0 -
