    Holly Computers??

    Any one ever used http://www.hollycomputers.co.uk/ before? Want to buy something from them but don't know if they are reliable or not.

    I was looking at them last week to. Site looks decent, and prices arnt too bad, but i must admit, ive not really seen them about before.
    Drop them an email asking if they are trustworthy

    Think i will just have to do that.. They seem to offer a video card that is £40 cheaper than anywhere else i have seen so would be worth a shot.

    Holly computers have been going for years (11 or more that i can remember)

    They used to be called Database computers and have moved premises several times.
    (They even used to have a shop in lakeside shopping centre at one time)

    I have used them a couple of times very knowledgable (But this was 6 years ago, so who knows how good they are now)

    Only complaint was they were biased to Intel
    (Back in the days of Slot A AMD, which were slaughtering the pentium's at the time)

    Someone had a thread on here about them taking a long time to deliver there PC to them and they had taken the money already and wouldn't refund so be careful..

    If you live near enough to them, then ring them up and ask if the vidoecard is in stock and if so have them keep it aside for you.

    Even if there customer service isn't too good, at least if they have the item instock they cant shaft you with 24 days wait or something, only problem you may have is if something gos wrong with it

    I know where this place is - i live 5 mins walk from it........i have used them a few times - its a local type store that operates from a small building.


    Prices normally arent that cheap but they are reliable and usefull.

    If you get problems with em, i will go round there for ya.

    And yeah, its near lakeside now, its in Grays, Essex.

    Cheers
