Advice for anyone wanting to buy a computer:


-Buy a book on building computers for dummies,
-Buy ALL your components from the internet, Somewhere like
> Ebuyer.com, CPUCity.com, Aria.co.uk
-Build it your self!

NOTE: There is warranty on parts you buy no need to pay extra.
Although I buy from the Internet regularly, I have had problems in the past with after sales service. When I first got an athlon, I bought the CPU from Dabs and the motherboard from Simply. The motherboard blew, and took the CPU with it. Both companies claimed it was the fault of the other, and it took a long time to get replacements.

I am not really advising people not to buy from the Internet, I could just have easily had the same problem if I had bought from two shops.
