He's expressed interest in getting something quiet, though - does anyone know of any (reliable, naturally!) dealers who can build a machine using things like silent PSUs, quieter CPU...

They have had my Lacie D" external HDD for 10 days now and although it was acknowledged as received there has been no further action. The tracking page still says status unknown and they do not reply to e-mails sent to customer services. Have I just lost £200++ or will they sometime replace the...

I'm about to launch my own website selling PCs (amongst other things.)

You might have read the saga of the aeolus 6600gt graphics cards a few of us have had issues with. Well mine arrived at scan today - their own support staff had confirmed that there was nothing else I could try with it and since I had notified them within 7 days of receiving the card of it being...

I have a trade account with Dabs but I'm begining to wonder why. I ordered a laptop from them but when it was delivered I realised that it had Windows XP home edition with it & my customer would have prefered XP Professional. My mistake, but it wasn't a big problem & XP home would have been ok....
