I am in the UK and have bought a hard drive from Komplett (who I am told are headquartered in Sandefjord, Norway). I have had problems with a 750GB hard drive Komplett has supplied due to incompatibilities with a PCI-SATA card I bought from Komplett. The problem is I can't get a reply from...

Hi, Can anyone sell me a legit copy of a PC Answerphone package? Such packages used to come with the modem, not many moons ago - but don't seem to anymore. The sort with different mailboxes and where different messages can be left for different people is what I have in mind. I have a local...

Use a credit card to place an order, with a card that I've used before. Because this order was for £1,400 and the last one for £40, they would not deliver to my work address as they had done before. Cancelled the order as I am not prepared to spend that sort of money without credit card...

A neighbour has a Dell Dimension L700cx. He wants to upgrade the RAM to 2 x 256MB. I tried PC World (who didn't have any) and Maplin (who quoted the outrageous price of £140.00 for 512MB). I tried getting on-line to Dabs this morning, but their site is off air. So where can my neighbour get the...

Don't you love PC World! Went in there today as I wanted an ink jet CD-Printer and the EPSON SP900 fitted the bill. I had seen it advertised in the Telegraph at £99.99 at Dixons, and by mistake I thought I'd seen it in PC World's Advert. Anyway, PC World were doing it £30 off at £149.99, as it...

Hi, I recently had to return a faulty motherboard and power supply from the same order. This cost of returning them soon negates any price advantage buying from them. I know it says in their terms and conditions that buyers pay for returns, but surely this should not be right. Has anybody...
