    It's not that price though. At that price it's got no O/S, it's not built etc..

    YoYotech are a london based company and were part of Hexus until very recently

    Well, had a support forum in the Care section, yes. Unless you know something I don't, they weren't part of Hexus, as such.

    Thanks for clearing that up. I like the way you can customise the pc a bit better than Dell's attempt although I dont normal buy new rigs I just get the bits

    yeah, but someone building it and a company building it who can claim full responsibility for it are different things. Some people need pre-builts. I know I did until I plucked up the courage to build my own.

    i agree its still much cheaper if you can build your own and installing your own operating system .most of the time you only have to upgrade mbd pro and memory you have the rest already still cheaper if you can build your own if confident enough.
