Comet got better selection than PC world, and better service. I don't understand how anyone can expect good customer service from PC world when it's the most miserable shop in the world.
Re: Linux broke my laptop hinge
Ah, I was getting confused between Comet and Currys. Currys, of course, is part of DSG just like PC World. :)

I was once in pc world handing in a application form when I noticed there uber sli delux gaming pc hp Extreme 7600GT's. Well out of interest I wanted to have a look at it just to see how stupidly expensive it was and what silly name it had, I moved the mouse to the start bar but!........ it BSOD! hahahahahah. I walked out with a big grin on my face.
I didn't get the job.

Linux doesn't damage hinges. Not yet, anyway.
I dunno... I had OpenSUSE on my laptop for a week and got so frustrated I almost snapped it in half over my knee, that doesn't do the hinges much good ;)
