Hello, I am going to buy a PC for a newbie newbie - he hasn't even touched a computer keyboard! I will set up the PC and instruct him on using internet, but I cannot supply ongoing support. I need a retailer / vendor who is willing to give on-site support for hardware (and possibly software)...

That's it.... I have had enough.... it is just not worth the bother. I have dealt with Dabs for years. It has sometimes been a bit of a rough ride but I am very tolerant and they are easy to buy from. Once before I swore never to deal with them again but they were "re-locating" so I weakened and...

Just placed an order for a graphics card - NINETEEN minutes after the Order Confirmation email, I get an Order Dispatched email! Way to go guys! 8-) Ant

Hey folks, In the interest of balance I just thought I'd come on here and say that on Thursday I placed an order with ebuyer for about 17 different items, with a combined value of about £1100. I asked for Saturday delivery. All the items turned up on Saturday morning, complete, intact, brand new...

Just off the phone with 2 of Scan's finest after being on hold for 10 minutes. I hadn't received any updates on my order since I placed it on Saturday. I was then told that Citylink has changed delivery prices to Northern Ireland. From £7 to £15. You won't be told that when you place your order,...

When you buy from DABS, they offset 2.5% of your order value as a credit card handling fee. This is a well known VAT loophole that allows DABS to keep 2.5% of the VAT that you pay. Buying as a consumer this makes no real difference, but DABS apply the same surcharge *even to VAT registered...

Where?! I'm not after half a km of the stuff but can buy in reasonable bulk! Thanks

Just ordered a shuttle Xpc from this company....... Porbably a bit too late to ask right now but, anyone have any good expericences with them?

I ordered 100 USB modems from ebuyer's extra value range, 9 of the item I ordered arrived with 91 of a completely different modem, the problem is they do not come with UK RJ11 cables they are of the US Type, I can not bring up the original item to check the spec as it is now discontinued. I can ...

I haven't bought anything from Dabs for over a year because of a bad experience or two...but I'm wondering if their service levels have improved? I vaguely recall some sniping in here which also put me off (involving their staff) because it seemed so unprofessional. I'm being seduced by the price...

Got a new black desktop case from aria at the weekend - which has a very noisy psu (in fact it should have come with a 350 watt job but a 300 watt was supplied by mistake). Problem is that it's a non-standard atx size so I cannot just swap out for a truepower. Anyone know a source for a...

After reading the posts in reply to my Time post, what company would anyone recommend in the UK for laptops ? Im looking for best prices and good build quality. Im not 2 shabby when it comes to problems so aftercare isnt the biggest priority. Who does the best deals ?

How do time / tiny / computerworld manage to be so much cheaper than everyone else ? Ive been looking at notebook pc's and I havent seen any other company who can touch them on price. Is it just a case of the kits okay but the after service is crap ? I cant say Ive ever had much trouble with any...
