I've been looking at Aria's "Create Your Own PC" offer. I've bought my last two PCs from Evesham but I quite fancy being able to specify exactly what I want without the hassle I'd face if one or more components were faulty. Basically, you tell them what you want (from their stock) and they will...

I have what I think is a stick of bad DDR ram in my Asus Pundit-R. Basically for several weeks the machine has been crashing and BSODing, and running memtest for an hour or two results in loads of errors. I'm assuming from this that it is the memory (if anyone has any suggestions on other diag...

Any recommendations for where to obtain a Sharp LL172GB Black 17" TFT display? Best I can find so far is.. http://tinyurl.com/6ey8p Cheers.

Yesterday afternoon I decided to upgrade the memory on my laptop. After checking prices for Sony SO DIMMs I rang the Crucial Freephone helpline, where I was given good advice, a coup of suggested upgrades and a reassurance that I had an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee. I ordered the...

My brother hasn't had a reply to a couple of emails to ITDealers. With their great reputation I wondered if they are having problems with their email.

I used to keep an eye on an eBay seller called "oap-computers" which had some nice stuff from time to time. But when I just went through my favourite sellers list I noticed that they're NARU'ed (not a registered user). Does anyone know what happened to them, if they changed their eBay user name or...

I am considering buying an Acer AL2021M monitor as it seems to be one of the cheapest that can do 1600x1200, has anyone any experience of this monitor (or other Acer TFTs for that matter)? Alternative 19" or 20" TFTs that can do 1600x1200 and cost less than £500 would be of interest too. -- Chris...

After some weeks looking around for a USB PCI card with some internal connectors, and finding no budget kit in stock at the usual suspects, I decided to look at PCWorld's site. (I'd site an ad for a sale.) PCWorld has an offshoot that sells components. There, I found not just one option, but two,...

I ordered an ADSL router from PC Nextday, and subsequently requested an RMA under the DSR as it was not what i thought it was, a router/modem My fault entirely. However, PCND would not give me an RMA until i gave them a reason for wanting to return it. Whilst for me, actually giving them a...

Does *anyone* in the UK sell these things? Failing that, anyone know a European supplier that will ship here? -- Toby

I have to make a RMA return to Komplett. I notice the return address is somewhere near Coventry Airport. Does anyone know if they'll accept personal deliveries? (I live/work in Coventry so it seems pointless to send it via post when I can nip out at lunchtime and take it round!)

Hi, I am after some micro dimm for a laptop and Crucial tell me they don't sell micro dimm. I have found them on shop4memory.com, an Irish site with a price in euros about the same as the price in sterling in the UK. Anyone had any experience of buying stuff from them? It is only bog standard...

I'm looking for a USB Hard Drive, preferably one that's around 150GB or so. Basically, the best £/Mb ratio but not too much past the £100 mark. The best value one I know of is the: LaCie 300700EK P3 160GB 7200rpm External USB 2.0 Design by F.A Porsche with Cable from...

It's OK to send back a TFT with duff pixels under the DSR, as you can legally turn the monitor on to check it, and then send it back if you find the display unsatisfactory; it does not have to be sent back as new.

Fellow Britons: I know, as well as you do, that the printing on our computer/printer is becoming very expensive in terms of ink cartridges with the exorbitant prices the manufacturers/dealers are putting up with these products, so I thought of sharing you my discovery that saves me a lot of money...

Hi. I have a Sony Vaio S1 XP laptop and I am looking to upgrade the memory to 1GB. The only trouble is is that I am finding it quite tricky to track down Micro-dimm's which the laptop supports, any suggestions for stockists? Thanks
