| I would not recommend Dabs, after some bad experiences a couple of years ago. My usual test with any new internet mail order company, is to look on their web site for a phone number. I phone the customer services or complaints number, and if I get through I ask to be put through to sales. If there is no telephone number, it does not work, or I spend ages on hold, then I don't use that company, no matter how attractive their prices. |

Specialtech, over-clock.co.uk, scan, dabs have all been fine for me. |

| The Hiper is great, its taken everything I've thrown at it, when it did blow they were super helpful in replacing it, amazingly quick service. Its really easy to install, very stable and looks great. Plus it comes with a toolbox!
