where would you buy a PC

MercilessKiller

If i was going to buy a "lemon". i would buy from pc world for following reasons:

1) There a retail store, so any problems, you can stick it in a box and claim on warranty rather than p&p rubbish.

2) they have some fantastic deals on quality home computers. Fantastic pc's for aruond the £400 to £500 mark.

3) Though they are a performance to upgrade, if bought from PC World then they can upgrade it and it's just easy if its a shop rather than an online retailer.

For the home user, Pc world is a great place to get a pc. For the more advanced technical user, either building ur own or buying a more technically specificied dell product would suffice.

I would really hate to Break this up But I really did just want to know
just where you would buy from, thus not having a huge debate
and confusing other less technical minded.

Thankyou Guys.....................

And please delluver try not to post about what is a must for you
as this puts a very biased view over to other people who want to poll.


Once again thankyou

Nah, it doesn't we all have our own minds, I'm sure. It's a must for everyone :rotfl:

Sure Dell and Off the Internet and Manu are the same? Pfft Haha.

V nice monitor! They certainly do.

The thermalright is a nice cooler

The monitor good too. Only officially 25ms but I haven't noticed any ghosting. Couple of dead pixels but not obtrousive. I believe it's a Liteon screen (odd that they don't sell any themselves).

The only fault with the monitor is if you turn the monitor off and then back on while the PC is on the integrated USB Hub only appears as USB 1.1 rather than USB 2.0. It goes back to USB 2.0 if you replug the USB cable or reboot the machine.

It a flaw in the monitor - Dell users have observed it and I've seen it with both Intel (865PE Springdale) and AMD (Nvidia NForce 4) based systems.

I'm in the dark ages with a CRT. lol. 17" though, does the job. Size matters . What's so good about TFT apart from it being compact?

Gosh what a lot you can say about your pc's :rolleyes:

If anyone asks me about mine

1 monitor - beige casing with colour screen about 17"
1 tower with a few buttons on, one flashing and one static green light with 2 tea cup holders (one DVD rewriter and one CD). Oops nearly forgot a slot for a floppy.
1 pair of black and beige speakers
1 keyboard with wrist rest
1 mouse with wheel
1 mousemat with gel wrist rest.

Think I might go for black pc next time

Yeah, get a Dell, black, although I have 2 spare WHITE 17" CRTs lying about... going cheap. lol. Was talking about how good the TFT monitor was earlier on the roll your own post, not pc specs. :rolleyes:
