Someone in my family is considering buying a pc from www.pcspecialist.co.uk and i was wondering if anyone has used them before, searched the site and couldnt find any posts.

Prices seem quite reasonable and they say that they dont use crappy parts (we shall see), they seem to get good feedback on their site and on ebay. Really appreciate any help.

I've never heard of them before, but they actually seem about average price compared to any large retailer - it not a little more expensive

I priced up a PC at Dell, looked on E-Bay (I wouldnt buy from here though if I were you), and PC Specialist - and PCS came up the most expensive.

Have you thought about building your own? Its much more fun, saves money and a great learning experience.

if you dont wanna do that i'll build you one you want (even spec one up if you want) at price of components plus £25 for my time.

For the system they want it is cheaper at PCS than Dell, this is the rough spec:
P4 Prescott 2.8Ghz 800fsb 1mb cache
1GB DDR400
ASUS mobo
160GB Sata 7200rpm 8mb cache
CDRW+ Nero, PowerDVD.
DVD
128mb 9800pro
Aluminium case
550W PSU
XP pro
17in CRT 1208x1024
keyboard, mouse, speakers, 2 extra fans and a 1 year warrenty
=£870ish

They dont want to build a pc, anyone know another place that they could get a similar spec pc for less without having to build it?

hi finn, ive just bought my new pc from pcspecialist.co.uk ( see sig)
i found them very helpfull and quick with my questions
i thought they were reasonably priced.
id never built my own pc before, and as i was getting some expensive kit
i rather pay someone else this time.
might try a self build with my old components

Finn Sorry
I Have Never Used PCSpecialist Before...
But Thanks For the Link .. Im Thinking Of A Spot Of Upgradeing.. Or Complete Renewal

If You Decide To Purchase From There.. Could You Let Me Know How It Goes..
If Your Happy With The Machine They Build For You! Or Any Probs

Ive Just Been Messing About On The Build Your Own PC Section...
I Got My Price To £1724 (Im A Very Very greedy Man) .. And I Only Got Halfway Down The List Too!
Im Glad Too Say I Never Clicked On "Order Now"..

This ain't bad, just £525.00. It ain't perfect, but really not too bad at all for the money.

No monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers or software, but quite a respectable base unit for the price. Maybe worth considering.

Flopps.. That Is Quite A Neat Unit.. Very Respectable Specifications Too.... Like You Say Great Price!

Very Interesting.. Ive Bookmarked This Place Too!.. Thanks
