Default Had any dealings with these Retailers?

Have a look at PCReview’s list of Retailers and give us your opinions on them.

Got another for our list, then give us your findings of why you like/hate them.

Edit
oops, all fixed. :spin:

I've just tried it now, and it seems to be ok... try clicking on the "Retailer Ratings" button on the right menu, see if that works, its the same thing

Thx

I've used 'em before and they were ok. Delivery came quick, and the prices are *ok*.

Default Debugsys in Cramlington

To anyone who lives in or around Cramlington, DONT USE DEBUGSYS!

They give totally wrong advice, and sell you the wrong items. I went in for a power supply, because I blew mine by dropping my computer on the floor (dont ask), and needed my PC for coursework.

I described my system, and they pointed out that I had an extra fan and told me that I had overloaded it, and needed a new one. They said that if I needed to run the fan (just a normal 80mm PC fan) I would need another (yes, thats two in total) power supply!

I told them I would just get a 300W AT for now. I then got it home, and what a supprise - a 300W ATX! I cant use this without major dremel action, so I took it back. and they gave me a 240W AT!! grrrrr! I gave up on them. They're definately an emergencies only shop for me. :crazy:

I havent actually tried them, but they have quite a large delivery price for the goods they're selling. I would advise buying in bulk just to make the most of the delivery.

Good advice on both of Hack's posts ... it can be hard finding a local system builder with who knows his stuff.

Once you do find such a little gem, look after him.
