EuroPC

Top service and computer. Friends of ours recommended them after having two for themselves from EuroPC and one for their parents.

Does anyone have an Evesham? I know they're not for money saving, but I'd like to know a bit more about them. A mate's got 2, and he praises them - the only problem he's had with one is that the power unit packed up after moving house... a common problem with any power unit. I read a review about someone having to take theirs back 5 times after problems. I suppose there's always gonna be one machine destined to go wrong, each machine is unique from manufacture - a bit like Johnny No. 5 from Short Curcuit. lol.

Out of interest, I heard that Dell power units often go wrong although never had a problem myself - I have seen a few in skips outside business parks. lol. I took one home to replace a fan that packed up on my old self built PC.

I have built PCs in the past as a hobby... Don't have much time to do so now & I like new challenges.

I haven't been to a fair for ages - I will note that. Thanks.

Building computers doesn't take that long it just the associated installing of the OS and any other software. I personally hate that bit so I really don't do that many complete builds or fresh re-installation of XP and limit to only so many over a few months.

Yes, see my earlier post. I've had two and have always been very happy with them. A friend just ordered one too from them and she's very knowledgeable about PC's (a lot more so than me!!) I think they do well in magazine reviews too which you can often find online I believe.

It does take a while when you haven't got any time to spare... a bit here, a bit there. lol.

Currently has 4 pc's as I get the main one for gaming (although rarely play games these days) then kids get hand me downs from me, accept last Jan got my new pc for xmas pressie. Finally the server gets the last hand me down which usually coems from kids.
