    What is the UK EU equivalent of VoodooPC?

    Hello, is there a company in UK and/or Europe that has the same philosophy as VoodooPC?
    Cheers.

    Thank you.

    You seem to be pretty confident from the language you are using. Are you sure you have the right skills and experience to join the companies?

    In my experience these companies will only fill places by recruitment not simply find a place for anyone, they also have a significant number of open applications on an almost daily basis so you will need to make yourself stand out from the crowd, in a good way though.

    Also seems pretty limiting trying to find a purely UK computer technology company, maybe widen your scope a little.

    Good luck though and let us know how you get on.

    Yes i am very confident.

    Well, a european company would be a nice option as well... i'll keep investigating.

    What do you think about MESH?

    I doubt that anyone that isnt employed by MESH can offer a good answer to that question.
    I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you're going about this the wrong way

    Well, i wasn't asking about a comment from an employed point of view but from a consumer or potential consumer. I don't think a MESH employed is going to answer my question either!

    I asked about MESH because from their web site they seem to offer high quality products....

    Oh dear I think we have a case of those really very boring people at conferences and in pub talk who go on about how great they're company is and flash the business card around and say "yeah yeah, sure but we do this...", how dull. I actually quite like the company I work for since I don't need to tell anyone what I do, its a good interesting and challenging job...and I have no idea of the budget nor turnover, why do people ask that when you make a casual enquiry about a product? Do they want to sell it or not.

    And yes in a polite way I second the previous poster, you are really going about this the wrong, and I think you can count MESH out now since your last comment on the forums.

    thats not the impresion I got - I got the impression of a young lad 15 - 16 apsiring to work with "cool kit"

    but other posts suggest a much older user.


    What type of job are you looking for with these companies ?

    some people i know who've worked for alienware USA aren't complementory about them.

    Just because they advertise on game spy with pictures of llama's dosen't make them a good employer!

    Look at things like the Times guide for graduate employers (something i familierised myself with, before not working for any of them ) and you will see most of the 'better' employers aren't doing cool shiney things.

    a firm who take a lot of CS/Engineering grads i shall call Cogica LMG, has a lot of cool research, but the two people i know who got jobs there aren't remotely happy.

    I mentioned VoodooPC because in america, where i've worked many years, seems to be the leader in high end/performance systems.
    Whilst in america mass quantity and avalibility play the top role, in Europe the market is different.
    I am not looking for a miracle, but being a european myself i know that the market here is more propence to high performance systems and european customers are more demanding than americans.
    This is the reason why i choose this title for this thread. I am trying to understand the companies goals.
