    hi denise
    im in the same boat and am looking at https://www.cube247.co.uk.
    i have emailed their c.s. and get very quick responses, and have read reviews on some of their systems in magazines, and they are very highly rated. the system i want is the leonis st8, so if anybody has experience of these guys could they let me know.

    I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole after reading that!:eek:

    Denise, what is your budget?

    Gladiator computers were doing a nice core 2 duo machine for £599 recently.

    PCspecialist also have a decent reputation.

    If you can stretch to a Core 2 Duo processor it would be well worth it.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    thanks for posting that review on cube, i was just about to splash £1900 on that system, a near miss by the looks of things.
    cheers
