cheap computer repair/build?????

hey there,
i have 3 old computers that are a little touch out of date and some bits don't work on others and i was just wondering if anyone could recommend some one or somewhere in the belfast area that would be able to take 3 semi useless computers and turn it into one usable one.

thanks in advance.

    Be very wary of taking three old computers and merging them to make one usable faster one. Three tired old computers will just become one tired old computer.

    Bear in mind that you can buy a brand new Dell base unit, keyboard and mouse, with a years onsite warranty for as little as £188 delivered to your door - www.dmxdimension.com, or less if you're prepared to keep an eye out for the right deal coming along

    If you only got £33 each for those machines on ebay (and if you're proposing merging them id assume their reasonably ok), then you'd only have to put another £60-£80 to it to get a new machine - £60 wont buy you an awful lot of a computer repair / upgrade specialists time, particularly as he / she is likely to want to reinstall the o/s etc.
