    Not heard of them myself but doesn't mean they aren't good. Site looks ok.

    been around a while and in general the main complaint people seem to have is their somewhat over optimistic build times, so as long as you do not need it in a real hurry they seem to be good, (also a mate of mine has had one from there and they are perfectly happy with it)
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    I have one built by them, very happy with it. It was worth spending time configuring what you want from a number of different starting points, some ways worked out cheaper than others. Don't know if that is still true.

    Dino PC offer a price match - so if you do an on-line check before ordering and find an identical spec PC cheaper - Dino WILL match this !!
  • OMG! I was doing to ask the same question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got my credit card out ready to buy but, never having heard of this company (apart from on here) I've been feeling really hesitant.
    :j I hope my comment helps :T

    FYI I don't know how long the Valentine "offer" is on for; could end tonite I guess. Don't know anybody who has used the "price match" service - I assume this involves quite a bit of work by both parties!

    I know one person who has had a pc from them; they advise 1. use credit card to order (obvious really in case they go bust) 2. preferably get a branded power supply. 3. build time may be slow.

    I tried them on their price match about 6 months ago - I would have bought from them - except for the delay in getting back to me with a quote - they need to improve their response time !!

    I was looking for a price match on an i7 3770k powered beast with 6Gb RAM, a 2Gb video card and 1.5Tb hdd - they bettered this - offering 8Gb RAM and a 2Tb hdd - and a better video card - and the price - a remarkable £500 !! both with Win 7 64bit

    This was very cheap for the specs and I wish that I had pursued the offer - rather than buying the MEDION that I did get !!
