Got a bit of kit today from CCL. The box had a sticker on it which said something like "checked for quality control". The sticker was placed so that opening the box would rip it. I immediately phoned CCL and asked if the box had been opened. I was told that it had. I asked if the item (a graphics...

I'm wanting to buy a GeForce 6600GT, preferably online. Any recommendations as to where I should buy it from? Also ideally I would like to have the option of returning it should it transpire it doesn't work with the rest of my system. Do online retailers tend to allow you to do this?

Hi everyone, For the past few days, I've been fruitlessly looking for a laptop that fits my demands; can you put me on the right track? I am looking for a desktop replacement laptop (any brand) with a Windows 2000 or XP OS, but without any Microsoft Works or Office. You read that right, I do not...

Thanks Mikey

Ordered items from PC Giant on 26/07. They took the payment the next day. They haven't dispatched my items. They don't respond to emails or their telephone number. Today I checked their website and found this message, which they must have posted on the 03/08. Refurbishment Scheduled For August...

Hi, Looking to replace an ageing PIII 450 128 RAM (circa 1999) with something more powerful that can run Linux (with KDE) comfortably. Budget is £500. Can anyone suggest what I might buy for this sort of money please? Processor to go for? Minimum RAM etc etc? Many thanks.

Aria.co.uk - absolutely bloody useless. Ordered some RAM from them back in early April, it never arrived. Emailed them and after a week they said it had been sent via Royal Mail, therefore I'd have to wait 15 working days until they could accept it had been lost in the post. Fair enough, though...

Have tried emailing the following addresses since Tues 9 Sept., without any response :- webaccounts@ enquiries@ CS@beta. (all followed by dabs.com) Is the chap from Dabs still reading this newsgroup? As it happens my order isn't urgent, but are Dabs intertested in selling parts or not?

The only reason I've ever been reluctant to order from Tekheads is their use of City Link as courier. I've personally had damaged parcels (Insight/City Link) and heard about digital cameras (original order and then the replacement) going missing from my local depot. Service locally (I'm served by...

Are Tekheads having problems with their email server again? I've sent a couple of messages over the past week with no reply... Cheers, Tim.

Ordered 3 dual firewire enclosures and other things from them yesterday on 2-3 day delivery, and everything came today a few moments ago, unbelievable good service. And now the tip. These metal external enclosures hold two 3.5" hard drives and are complete with power supply and fan. You can...

I'm trying to use dabs.com at the moment but it's so painful that I'm going to vent some frustration here. Dabs have been around quite a while, they are a major, if not the leading, UK based online IT retailer. You would think then that they might have some idea of how to build and run an...

Does anyone know of any suppliers within the M25 (esp. in the NW10 wholesaler Mecca) that sell cheap computer cases? The J&C range from ebuyer seem appealing, esp. since I have bought about 100 of these before from C&J, but they did try and rip me off a bit. Im looking for something on the lines...
