site that sells ridiculously high end computers

[dabookerman]

anyone know of any?

[Charlie]

http://www.ebuyer.co.uk - Make your own?

http://www.alienware.co.uk - they look awesome too

[Guest Offerman]

http://www.overclockers.com for the components - I really don't think they do pre-built though.

 

But as Moria said Alienware is the best place. Chances are you would have to pay an import cost, because I'm not sure if they are custom built in the UK.

[Choze]

http://www.overlockers.co.uk do make good prebuilt pcs and bundled components etc. The place to get high end graphic cards. Not the same as .com

 

http://www.scan.co.uk is also good if you are looking for the latest parts and stuff.

[Colin]

Dell also make very good high-end pre-built systems.

 

Find them here.

[Raining_again]

Evesham are well made PC's IMO.

Dell are ok but they are overpriced 90% of the time. You get some good deals now and again however. If you want high end go elsewhere.

So are Mesh.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ may be a better suggestion.

for prebuilt systemz.

Surely that depends on what you're doing with it though!

 

It sounds like dabooker wants a comp for Uni or something, and personally a call-out service warrenty is well worth the price............as in Dells case.

 

They are renowned for their customer care, and you won't find any other company that matches it.........although Toshiba comes close.

That IS very true. Which is why they are popular. I assumed he wanted a killer pc. http://www.overclockers.co.uk i assumed fit the bill the best. They have a range of pc's although no support is sold with them.

Yeah I have to say Overclockers kick arse aswell. My bro ordered all the parts for our high-end system off of there. Very good with pricing and competing with other online shops.

 

Their American wing is apparently really badly run though, with people receiving the wrong product instead of what they originally ordered..........

[RoadKill]

I would build one yourself if you want the absolute finest. There is no substitute.

[Minlack]

Don't buy DELL!!! I hate them! I got my new PC from komplett.co.uk. You can custom select whats in it, down to the PSU etc. Not too expensive, and perfect for those who worry about skrewing up a £400 CPU while building one urself. Got delivered quickly as well

[Choze]

Dell are good but yeah kinda expensive for what they give you. Plus riht now they dont seem to do AMD.

[Guest Offerman]

In honesty as Roady said, if you want the pinacle of perfection - its a homebuild job. You can make it was silent or as noisey as you want, and as refined or as brash as you want.

 

The thing to remember is - its not hard to build a computer, and if your too ham fisted to assemble one, your probably not ready to drive a beast of one either.

 

If you have a rough idea of how something works and goes together, you have a much better time of using it.

[RoadKill]

This is turning into a circle jerk, but Offerman is correct.

[Minlack]

I know how everything works. I've just never actually made a PC myself. Sometime I need to get myself together and buy some cheap compnents and make one. My first go at making a PC, I don't want to have to worry about destroying a £300 component.

If you knew how it worked, then you know that depending on the processor used - would depend on how it physically goes into the socket. Bear in mind the P4 and its fellow counterparts are all ZIFF. Which stands for Zero Insertion Force. Meaning it just slides in, with no force and is then locked into position by a clamp pin. If you understand technically how it works its impossible for you to wreck it - because once you have earthed yourself, and your gentle then thats all there is too it. Just assemble and power up.

[RoadKill]

The main thing you can break is the cpu pins.. fragile, and also sometimes prone to bending, for example when replacing the heatsink, sometimes the CPU comes out with it. This is one issue that can still catch out people who are good with computers.

Yea very true Roady. You need to remember to pull the baby directly upwards, not off-set. If you get an uneven lift you will distort a pin, or set of pins. Which is not terminal, but bearing in mind they are copper then are britel, and can snap when trying to bend them back.
