    Anyone know this company?

    Hi all, this is my first post on the forum. I'm looking for a new system and not really sure I could build one myself. In looking around I came across this place - their prices look good, but I know nothing about them.

    Anyone know them?

    Thanks

    Judging by that website, I wouldn't touch them.

    Thanks.

    Caged, why wouldn't you touch them?

    Only prob I can see, which is non-computer related, is that they don't accept credit cards.

    The site is very amateurish, doesn't give a good impression.

    I agree.
    The naming on their systems also looks very 'chavish', NEON EXTREME anyone ?
    Infact, looking around more it seems that the systems they are building really arnt value for money. On an almost £900 system, they have "HIGH END ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL SOUND (RECOMMENDED)" : recomended by who ?, somone who doesnt have a clue by the sounds of it.
    Also "HIGH END TFT: 15 INCH SILVER/BLACK 1024 X 768 RES. (£169)" : cant say ive ever heard of "high end"....sounds like they are just adding words in for marketing and trying to flog poor gear. Oh and the system is using the case PSU.....

    Poor poor poor, stay away.

    Imagine that a "Chav System".

    Burberry painted case, baseball cap on top and gold chains and sovereigns haning off it.
