if building yourself id say computer fairs, novatech, scan, overclocker all do good prices on things.
If pre build sometimes Aldi have the medion pcs for good prices i think and include 3 years warrenty.

If you want to build a PC I have a fair few spares kicking around. Couple of tower cases, dual core cpu, ram , hdd psu, just no mobo or gpu.

May even have some watercooling bits

I think it's mental you can get a great spec pc for £400-£500. Couple of years ago you spent a grand and got a piece of crap pc

That is a nice service, no doubt about it. But you do pay for that service. To get the same £400 tower your looking at close to £1000 for the dell version!!!

I used to build my own PCs, until I worked out that Macs are actually cheaper in the long run.

Yes, they have a reasonable stock list, but the prices are too high and customer service seriously sucks. If you have a problem they try to fob you off with going back to the manufacturer. They try anything they can to not have to deal with you once you've paid

However, the one time in my life I bought a PC, I got it from here:

It was a brand new refurb and saved around a third off the price that buying new from Dell would have been.
They weren't the outfit @ Boroughbridge, were they ?

Theres no point in buying an Apple when the only thing they use in schools (around here anyway) is PCs.

I should have mentioned that my tower unit (AMD Athlon II X4 620, 1TB, 4GB) is £427 with free delivery. For that price most other places would only give you half the disk space and less RAM.
