    I have had a look at ebay and agree there are bargains, but some seem too good to be true. Am also a wary of buying such an expensive item from ebay, I hear too many scare stories...
    Not if you buy from someone with 5000+ feedback. But it's up to you. :)

    Out of interest does anyone know any other reputable companies selling PCs that accept PayPal for payment (But not through eBay).. somewhere with highspec customizable machines..

    I've tried searching through google for stuff like "computers paypal -ebay" but it just doesn't work, I think as they keep PayPal logos as images etc..

    Novatech look quite good, there are a few comments about them on forums, but no more than most. I am really after a complete machine, I blew the lst one trying to upgrade it and don't want to do it again. Novatech only sem to do barebones don't they?
