Hi, Ebuyer have told me that the package was dispatched with the items in (based on weight, which I presume they kept a record of the original parcel weight). When the box was received it had obviously been open and taped up again. B*****d thieving couriers who didn't even steal the most...

A year or so ago, I found a site that allowed you to enter computer products you were interested in and then that 'wish list' was sent to a number of suppliers who would come back with prices. Try as I might, I can't find it now. Does anyone know if it still exists, and if so, the...

Went to an IT auction today in Manchester with loads of good P3 kit and servers there, the PCs selling for very very good prices. When it started we were told 'no PCs can be removed until Tuesday as the drives are not formatted'. I spoke to one of the goons about this formatting of the drives and...

Anyone had experience, good or bad, of buying from Toys R Us? They are doing a Medion P4 laptop at £999 which looks very good value

Just saw an ad in the paper for PC World, advertising antivirus software with big warnings about the MSBlaster worm. Then a box saying Already Infected! Bring your PC to us and we will remove it for only £19.99. So they charge £19.99 to install the MS patch and run a downloaded copy of the...

I'm looking to buy 3 TFT monitors but I'm wary about the dead-pixel issue. Which online shops have the best returns policy when it comes to faulty TFTs? Cheers Terry

I've been sort of asked to suggest a cheap (relatively speaking) laptop for someones kid, apparently his school is quite heavily promoting them, but the one they offer is about £750 and apparently pretty apalling for the money. Taking a quick look I saw this at...

Hello, My current computer is now five years old and despite several upgrades it's now showing its age. I'm therefore looking to buy a brand new system (less the monitor).
