Just wanted to alert people here to yet more poor service from Scan Computers They may seem to have a lot of bargains but my experience of them is very bad. They refuse to refund any carriage in either direction when faulty goods are returned. Their terms and conditions allow for a refund but...

I'm not sure quite how to describe this, but I'm sure I've seen cases designed for workshop use where you need to have bits hanging around being tested and installed/removed etc.. I'm also sure I saw them on the www.kustompcs.co.uk website, but now I can't find them. If I recall they are made of...

Do Dell's desktops come with a warranty seal on them, to prevent you from upgrading parts yourself? I've had a quick look at thier T&Cs but still no clearer! Thanks Chris D.

Ouch, and they even threatened to take the buyer to court. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/11/dabs_pricing/

Hi guys, I ordered one of eBuyer's "5-in-1 MP3 Player Watch" products a week or two ago, along with a Logitech MX500 mouse. No problems with the mouse, in fact its great. Best mouse I've ever used. Well worth the cash. My problem is with the watch. It works fine, does everything that its been...

Please can someone point to me to the best supplier for this? I just want a simple desktop PC to access the internet with, as cheap as possible, using it as a 2nd internet access terminal in the house. I can't seem to find anyone online who can supply something as basic as this: 1Ghz, 256MB...

I just felt i had to write that. I'm not going into details, but despite my most recent order (a full system self-build) being 'monitored' thru their new systems (splutter) and the Customer Services Manager agreeing to keep an eye on it, CCL still managed to **** up. No notification the order was...

The HD on a system I bought from Mesh 2 years 11 months ago died recently. Posted it to them on Monday with the RMA number they'd given me and got a replacement by courier on Friday. Was formatted with a copy of the OS they'd originally supplied plus other gubbings so could have been just slotted...

I'm after a reliable computer case vendor, does anyone have suggestions. TIA Captain Black

I have spent quite some time in this newsgroup venting my frustration about companies such as Dabs who, unless things have changed recently, you cannot even telephone. When things go wrong they can make you feel almost suicidal with frustration. Today I would like to heap praise yes PRAISE!! on...
