Computer spec,

So you would like to find this

* Hyper-Threading Technology
* 512Mb DDR RAM (2 x 256Mb)
* 250Gb Hard Drive
* Double Layer DVD ± R / RW and CDRW Drive
* 20" WXGA X-Black Display
* 128Mb NVidia GeForce Go 5700 Graphics
* Integrated Wireless LAN (802.11g)
* Windows XP Home
* Integrated TV Tuner
* Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

without the £1600 price tag?

www.meshcomputers.com are cheap so are www.novatech.co.uk.

You can try out www.overclockers.co.uk they have been known to have CS issues though and are mainly a PC parts place but they do, full systems.

Also

www.evesham.com another wicked maker many raving reviews from them.

Personally I have a Mesh computer from www.meshcomputers.com and I love it never let me down over the week or so now I have had it runs everything and CS staff happy to help whenever they can.

I thought you were getting an Alienware machine, or whatever they're called.

I was till I woke up and smelt the coffee, nice machines lovely to use but lets just keep it that way, I have read far to many reviews how they are having issues with reliability and poor customer service.

When I was able to get £550 together for a new pc I asked on here and got some good advice for bang for my buck, and got the pc as said in my signature from Mesh Computers, they messed up payment by entering the details of my account wrong for starters after chasing it up we got a nice rep from them called Simon, who was quick to sort it out, and with no delay on shipping time.

After about 2-3 week with the system, I am impressed a few modifications and I are thinking of some changes to happen soon.
