Where shuld I buy my new PC from?
 
My elderly lappie had a blue-screen-of-death moment a few weeks ago. The Thinkpad restore function thingie eventually gave me the original version of XP back again and has now finally uploaded all the SPs and other updates that have been released on Live Update since. It runs like a dog though and as the munchkin is about to start her CGSE work we're going to splash out on a new one.

But where to buy it?

Recommendations please folks.

Do you not have a friend who knows PCs?

I personally enjoy the task of building one from scratch, often do custom ones for folks who "want a new computer for £XX.XX" but have no idea who to buy from, you can then concentrate on the bits people need and not so much on the bits they don't

Failing that a small back street shop will probably talk you through what you want and build it to your spec, even if you have to wait a couple of weeks for it

Personally, if I were going to buy an off the shelf I wouldn't discount Dell, I bought my laptop from them because I can't build it myself and it's been solid and reliable in a well put together chassis, all for a good price during their summer sale

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ have some good deals on at the moment.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...id=1078&subcat= not a bad spec for a buget price PC if you are just using for normal day to day browsing and office documents. .

Depends how much you want to spend .

Mesh. Several friends have bought form there and are happy bunnies. I had mine built. Great but then you fall out with your friend and have no come back if it goes wrong.
