Like you I'd never go to PC world CK, I am not brave enough to build my own computer from nothing though I know how to do it I am afraid I'd screw it up somewhere and I'd rather have the reassurance of a warranty.
Clyde, my last PC was from Dell, my mother also bought one from there and Waynet did as well.. To be honest they are hassle free to do business with, it's all very convenient and very expensive, they all come pre-installed with a load of software like macaffee etc which I just won't need. I'd rather install my own computer right down to the OS.
The best Dell deals are to be had in the Dell outlet, buying a refurbished Dell. Anyway I have decided to try another manufacturer this time.
Nzo, Dinopc look really really good however and I tend to think I'll be getting one from there, I'm playing with the customiser right now while I wait for the dinner to cook. I don't want to get anything too stupidly powerful as I dont have a lot to spend but it looks like I can get plenty of bang for my buck!
