s4dreamer Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Why not just buy the components from wherever is cheapest and make your own up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punjabi-A4 Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Bison...why not get a Shuttle XPC? about £200 they look lovely..just made one for my little sister...add a TFT and yer sorted. With the shuttles you add the CPU, Hard drive and DVD/CDRW and bobs yer uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 As I'll be unemployed, you buy the bits and then pay me to build it for you...... sounds lieka good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Not purchased PC bits for quite a while but Scan, DABS, Simply used to be on my browsing lists. The Addonsonline site does look pretty good tho, AMD 2200 with all the gubbings for £330 inc VAT. (no monitor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 I don't believe that you even remember the 386 stuff when it was current Anyway, if you want to put some dosh my way, I'd be willing to make 'em up for you (as long as you want Linux of course .

Snail Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 whasup with gigabyte boards? i have one, and its a beauty....as everyone says though, everywhere sells cheap PCs these days.......no point building yourself (unless you have very specific requirements) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 scan.... wouldnt touch them again... try returning something... had to threaten legal action by recorded delivery to get them to respond. Dabs.. real bad reviews again with returning stuff simply.. yup fine Komplett.co.uk or most often i use www.chillblast.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 The supplier I use is www.aria.co.uk, the trade accounts aren't too bad, plus we have had no problem returning stuff to them. Probably spend over 10K with them in the last year. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punjabi-A4 Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 i've used www.Komplett.co.uk www.microdirect.co.uk www.pcnextday.co.uk www.aria.co.uk without any probs... also ebuyer.co.uk...but they messed me around a bit with a m/b once. otherwise they are usually ok and very cheap.
