Chrissie Brown Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Best to get "custom made" as that way you're not paying for expensive stuff you will never use. Also best to ask around and find someone who comes recommended. IMO PC World are a ripp off as once you have bought the computer from them they don't want to know you when it goes wrong. Its a nightmare. My friend bought one from them and despite (foolishly) paying out £300.00 extended warranty she didn't get much help when things went wrong. Quote
Chrissie Brown Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Get made custom or buy from Dell. Ive heard that Dell computers are ok. Quote
