Pre-Built System Advice

[HSK]

Hey guys, my younger brother has been offered a grant/help with the cost towards a PC (for the value of 250 quid) we (me & him) just built a pc that we both use, and it would of been nice to use the money for that (replace the stuff we had to cut corners on), but the rule say u can't use it towards upgrades parts. so the question is, have any of u guys got sugesstions to some decent pre-built systems? we'll chip in some extra about bring the budget up to around 400 quid?

and what i was thinking is...is there any where on the net that wil do me a custom rig - i could ask for a 8800GTS etc, and another 2gig of memory etc - so i can take it out n upgrade what we got...and have the rest basic.

in that way it should count as pre-built, if we buy it all in one from somewhere?

aany ideas and help much appreciated

Novatech get good reviews from users and are well mentioned in forums Computer Supplies from Novatech. I've not used them in a while, but still hear good things about them.

They allow you to add/subtract to the systems they build, and looking at the site, it's free next day delivery over £50.


I think if you phone them, they should be able to fill your needs. They're (or were) a small(ish) company and often go the extra mile for there customers (or so I am lead to believe from posts on other forums).

Cheers for the link, their pre built PC aint bad at all.

But i don't think i can customise or switch the main componets in those machine...there no options there.

Any one know of a place that does custom pc's?

There's plenty of places that do custom PC's but to be honest, for your budget, Dell still offer some of the best value for money pre-built systems (even with their shipping charges).

For example, just got a Vostro for work, 20" monitor, E6550, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD and a HD2600XT (ok, not great card but it's an office computer) all for £450 inc shipping and VAT
