Info on online comp shop ??

[Dave_07]

Hey all

Are we allowed to ask questions about other online computer retailers at hexus ?

Cheers

[Korky]

"other", this isnt a computer retailer but im guessing here would be a good place to ask cause the mods cant touch a thread in here cause it covers everything

[Dave_07]

Good, Well just wanted to know if anyone here has had any experience with buying full (Custom) systems from Aria and whether they were god or bad experiences, eg support if anything gose mental or totaly dies, quality of end product and speedy delivery and construction.. ??

Cheers, Dave.

if you want a pre-built pc the general consensus appears that dell are the best - quite customizable as well

[Surgeon]

or if ya not on a tight budget alienware... or Voodoo PC

[Stylez]

Well with pre-built systems id have to go with mesh, my mum bought one from there and shes really pleased with it and no problems what so ever.

I don't know about pre-built systems, but Arias after-sale and delivery (citylink now iirc) services, as well as their over-the-counter sales, are all excellent

Hexus does not have any restrictions on stores etc. that you can mention.

We do however frown on outright abuse of certain stores as this can as i'm sure you're all aware spark legal confrontations.

Please feel free to do a post slating a company, but only within fully justifiable reason!

[Dave_07]

Cheers for those other comp shops everyone, i'll check them out.

Cheers, Dave.

its the old toss-up between DIY and pre-built...
pre-built you get a whole system for cheap, but some parts in that system may not be the best you're gonna get.
DIY - you choose what goes in thus can have as hi/low spec as you want on what ever parts thus concentrate funds on whats important to you (with the idea to up grade the lesser parts later) that way - of you want - you can get a nice mobo, cpu, mem and graphics card and then cheaper other stuff.
but of course DIY is almost always gonna be more expensive and not covered by warrentee...(at least not as a whole but only individula parts - which is a bugger when you have no idea what has gone wrong, at least with a pre-built system an engineer can check it out on warrentee...)

all swings and round-a-bouts...just depends what you want it for, ultimate games machine, graphic editing, or 'merely' gentle home use i.e. games, word processing, internet (you know, family type PC)...ball's in your court...(lets throw some cliches in here to make it sound good eh )
over to you

Kill him now...or at least ban him.

NEVER EVER EVER DEAL WITH MESH COMPUTERS THEY ARE THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVERY DEALT WITH AND DESERVE TO BE ****ed...or somin...

ok rant over.

just incase there are some *slow* people on the is board:

MESH COMPUTERS ARE ****

Disclaimer: This is my own personal opinion, and so do go sueing Hexus or whatever you were going to do...

[Dave_07]

Yes, I would go "DIY" but im not that good yet... Starting to wonder if I ever will be lol. Anyway I'm going with a custom system built to order for now, and aria meets the spec, very well actually. But never really baught much from them before. As for what the system will be used for.. what else but for gameing lol. Not too sure about these other sites, still looking into them atm.

Kustom will build you a nice system as will Tekheads.
