This one http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/extras.html?t=pc&c=all&r=IRU&v=1&s=PC-1500H

works out at around £705 with a Novatech 22" monitor which leaves you enough to buy a decent mouse keyboard and speakers.

Can anyone pick one of these only : Acer, HP, Sony, Dell, Samsung, Compaq and Packard Bell.

Not me, cos in my humble opinion they is all a bit crap

Except maybe the Samsung, at a push.

why a well known brand?

Why?

I don't mind dell, only had 2 computers from them and they've both been very good. You will get a much better specification if you bought from outside those though. Your limiting yourself a lot, you could get twice the computing power if your bought a custom build from the likes of www.scan.co.uk

Oh that's so easy, you have to go for Novatech!
Good builds, great service & if you need them customer support, simples.
And for what our advice is you really should listen as we have heard all the sob stories before!!

I wouldn't say none of them have got decent PC's. People are just giving their personal opinion.
I have used Dell, Acer and Sony in the past and never had a problem.
But as others have mentioned go for the custoom built PC from Novatech. Much better customer support if it is ever needed..

I build my own PC's because that is best value for money, but I would agree with others that Novatech or Scan as they offer both offer great after service and are great value for prebuilt PC's.

They make alright computer for browsing the net, but thats about it.

If your thinking of gaming, editing or something else demanding then a big brand like that wont be much use. You pay for the name and not the components, where as if you bought a custom build from the likes of scan or novatech then you will get alot better specification/quality components. Also you have the ability/flexibility to possibly upgrade a custom build in the future if you find out you want it more powerful, which is not always possible with a big brand (it sometimes is, but not always).

You could try a look here, and they allow some tweaking on parts. Have had good service from them in the past.
