Hi,
The thing to bare in mind is always after-sales-support. How do you get the
machine back to them? probably you paying, you finding a large enough box, you
making sure it's boxed securely and doesn't' get damaged in transit. The
company will ship it back to you in 1 to 2 working weeks.
I know the machines from these companies that deal exclusively online are very
attractive with their specs but that's only one part of the "New computer hunt
process".
Have you considered PC World? It's very very hard to beat their specs, (if you
shop around), especially when you combine that with their after-sales-support.
They'll either send an engineer to your house, Parcel Force to pick the unit
up, or if you live close enough you can offer to bring it to the Tech Guys
in-store. The max turn-around I've had for a Motherboard replacement on a
Desktop was 3 days, from drop off to pick-up. My local PC World is very good
at support.
BTW. I would not buy components/peripherals from PC World as the retail price
is too high. I treat these like convenience items, in say a local Spar.
Regards,
Barry.
