Hi All,

Anyone know of any good deals?

comps

there are plenty of bargains online to be had, but i would reccommend only buying in this country as there are alot of dodgey foriegn firms, plus its good to get reccommendations from people who have delt with them before, like we have here

recommendation

hi
i have read your artical on wanting a pc my suggestion is try ebay first you get some great deals on there there is also business people selling on there not just new people if you dont like the idea of ebay i have hears that pc world are doing some good deals to give them a try

I would avaoid ebay if it is for your sister to do shopping on.

Get a Dell direct, for ?400 you will get a decent one (maybe even a laptop) with some decemt warantee which you will not get from ebay.
