Can you build them your self? Be much better to buy the parts and build one.

if not, don't bother with PC world, check ebuyer, dabs, etc

I dont make my own pcs, i bought a Dell off their website and have been very happy with it, it lasted 4 years and still works now with no repair issues.

dont buy a dell lol buy all the parts and get your local computer shop to build it for you (cost like 30-50 quid)

thing is with buying a built tower your probs paying like 50 quid for the os then like 100 for labour.

Getting a pc shop to build you one is ok if you get a good guarntee/warranty. dno y i didnt say that

Building it yourself is even better, not only are you saving money - but you'll learn something!

 

[Warlock]

Ye always build your own pc's, never shop buy them.. for one you will always get landed with onboard graphics which will play nothing, unless they rip you on the price to have a dedicated one.

Better to learn yourself always a handy skill to have and no in the least bit complicated to do.

Give me a price range and i will have a look at some part to throw together, even if you dont want to build yourself order the parts yourself and take them to a local PC shop and get them to put it together for you. Never let them build it with their parts are they tend to rip you on the price for those too.

take this advice , if you buy from a pc shop you'll end up with on board graphics/low volt power supply / cheap components.

basicaly they will charge you same money as a descent brand because on paper it will sound nice.

also dont let them talk you round , they will say well this tower will do exactly what you wanna do and its cheaper and ready to take away today or something.
give warlock a price range or post it here and these bunch of pc geeks :P, will get a good system for as cheap as poss.
