What is ebuyer?
Who are you talking to?
No way would i buy a pc from ebuyer anyway..... unless its components.

I take it you'll not be buying from eBuyer then.
Not to mention good customer service :S
Although its a good price... true it seems lower than the normal price...
i might stck with someone professional. i mean not time/tiny but the other big companies who sell pc's.
i can actually build a pc using a site off a company, and they quality test their components once they build it o.O
I got almost the same spec as the offer i got here but its about 900+ quid.. but you get extra assurance from buying from a good well known company.

If you want more details (such as where he's buying those parts from and how much profit he's making from the deal) my msn is [email protected].
In fact, on investigating exactly how much this machine is costing him to build (knowing where he's getting the parts from), he's actually charging you less for the computer than the sum of what he should be paying for the parts. Either he's going to sting you with the VAT he hasn't told you about or VAT is getting scammed out of the deal somehow, and if that copy of Windows XP includes a license I'll eat my kneecaps. Don't necessarily be put off by this - what he's doing may be illegal, but it's you (and by extension him) that win big. The guy has put together a seriously tidy machine, and from his selection of parts (down to the brand name, even) it's clear he knows what he's doing. Take the following points on board though:
- I don't believe that heatsink is rated for that processor. Certainly the site he's buying it from reckons it is only good for an XP2100. In any case, throw another fiver on the pile and get a better heatsink.
- Ask him to downgrade the soundcard to a simple Audigy and upgrade the gfx card to a "Gainward Geforce4 Powerpack Ultra750-8x Tv/agp 64mb Ddr Ti-4800 Se Chipset With Tv-out", unless he knows something I don't about those cards.
- I would swap that case/PSU for another one - it's very nice, but the PSU is invariably bog-standard unless you buy the case and power supply seperately. Get a "Hiper 420 Watt Power Supply" whatever, and the "Cyber Fusion Black/Blue Tower Case" looks good (although the case is subjective, you/he may not like it). This combo will set you back another £20 at least, but it's definetly worth it to get shot of cruddy own-brand PSUs.
-Make sure the memory he's supplying is Crucial. Pay the extra if it's not.
-If he can get hold of one, the EpoX 8RDA+ motherboard is as good/better than the (already excellent) motherboard he's including, and includes an onboard soundcard said to blow any SB Audigy through a brick wall. Might save you some dorrah.
-Get at least one case fan sucking air into the case, preferably at the bottom/front.
-If you stick a crap-u-like 17" monitor on this behemoth I will come round and thump you personally. Power is nothing if you can't see wtf is going on onscreen.
Asides from these minor quibbles, it's a high spec, well planned cheap b*stard of a machine :O)

I build computers for other people when asked, and I can say that that's an extremely good price, one I'm not sure I could beat. Those Hard Disks are excellent by the way, arguably the best on the market right now.
February thar she goes! Just a month to wait hopefully and i can actually pay the guy all go through the 'professionals' and pay more....
My bro got this one.. i think for about 500/600 quid :S not as high spec as me tho.
I could build a computer, and ask anyone, I am as thick as blonde thieves. But yea, it looks like a decent spec for the moolah.
