Aria offer competitive builds component wise, but not seeing any build logs on the Aria forums i can't say how they stack up build wise (wiring and so on) compared to Scan.
There are also a few horror stories on the Aria forums thanks to CL regarding pre-builts. (read: Megahlems bouncing around inside a case).
Edit: I've never bought pre-builts.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

Sorry i just meant i've not bought pre-built from Aria/Scan.
Is there a certain spec/build you have your eye on?

OcUK,Aria and Novatech also make PCs too.

looking at a Sandy Bridge setup, would build my own but too busy to mess about.
I would rather poke my own testicles with rusty, hot pokers than use OcUK

TBH,why don't you get a CPU,Motherboard,RAM and cooler bundle from a retailer and then assemble the rest of the PC yourself.
I only mentioned OcUK since some people swear by them. Of course, no doubt some swear at them too!
I bought my current PC from yoyotech, they do pre-built or build at home. Thats how I ended up on hexus actually by using yoyotech's forums, when they used to be on here.

I forgot about YoYo, I have used them before and I liked them.

They have a shop off Tottenham Court Road.
Scan would have been my first choice but YoYo do look pretty decent too.

I know people who have bought gaming boxes from YoYo, and they speak well of them. Not the cheapest but good components.
Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.

i know they are not popular but i have bought hardware off OCUK before, and i have never had a problem.
also if you can build it your self, you will save money

Thanks for the reply but have you read the rest of the thread?

As it looks like Scan don't want my business for some reason, I will be probably going to YoYo as their builds do look pretty decent.
Thanks everyone.
