Did you know that it is illegal for a dealer to supply a TV card and not record the buyers name and address and then pass this information on to the TV Licencing authority within 28 days? Similiar applies if as a dealer, you sell a PC with a TV card installed - new or secondhand. Information...

In my epic search for my new P.C. I have come across Chillblast, They seem to know their stuff, If I get some good feedback from here? It may be the case that I will have to consider a supplier who are over 200 miles away!!! That would be o.k so long as I knew they were amongst the best...

Hi all My old manager bought a PC from Time (even though I said not too!). He bought it a couple of weeks before Christmas and its gone tits up now. Basically after power on he gets a BSOD stating "IRQ not less than equal" (or similar) He doesn't know enough about PCs to know how to get into the...

Bought a Aapro dual opteron server from one of their competitors recently and needed a part that only Mentor had in stock in the UK. They seemed upset that we didn't use them for the server even though they are on back order and can't get them and refused to supply us with the part. When we asked...

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...

My parents want a new, cheap PC. The only problem is, they want a desktop case - and everywhere seems stuck on selling towers! So, does anyone know of a stockist of desktop machines? Failing that, are motherboards still of a standard design? I'm just wondering if I could put the case of their...

I've bought a bunch of stuff from Dabs in the past and it's always worked out well. They've had good prices and the shipping was fast. Then, a couple weeks ago, I ordered a 19" monitor. I hooked it up and set it to 1600x1200. It looked like crap. The text was fuzzy due to ghosting. Everything...
