azy Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Two years ago, I bought the parts for the PC I'm using now from Overclockers UK and CCL Computers but due to faulty hardware I had to underclock my xp2800+ to xp1700+ in order to make the PC run stable. The problem lies with my RAM (failed mem test software) and/ or my motherboard (a known faulty revision of Epox 8RDA3+). I found the customer service for Overclockers and CCL to be very long winded and tiresome so I gave up after several attempts to swap the hardware and stuck with the underclocked cpu. In a few months I'll have saved some cash to upgrade my computer so my question is, which place do you recommend to buy a PC? I'll probably upgrade the whole PC so a new tower is not out of the question. I have used CCL prior to buying the current PC I'm using and they were ok, but I was wondering if there are any other places to buy PC parts/ whole tower for a reasonable price. Thanks.

Raining_again Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I bought a hard disk from amazon.co.uk and iver had no problems with it whatsoever. I am planning on an upgrade myself, and buying my stuff from microdirect.co.uk. Dabs.co.uk is also a good place to look for stuff aswell. Hope it helps. That was terribly unlucky with all the problems you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azy Posted December 25, 2005 Author Share Posted December 25, 2005 I was looking at getting the "Ultima" AMD Athlon 64 3700 Dual DDR System from http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/full_systems.html and if I buy the same parts from Dabs it saves £130 incl. delivery, and that's with a slightly better graphics card. Cheers for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
