"maxx pc what are they like"

im thinking of buying a maxx pc from sr what are they like any1 got one?
do they do a good job of customizing them and how long did it take to come?

yea that happened to me. I have a maxx pc and I love it but I had a scare on christmas day for it. However it was only because the shipper had knocked the graphics card slightly.

cool name :)

ok i think ive decided im going for a pentium 2.8 with ati radeon 9700 pro and ill have to settle for a 15inch tft buying new house soon so ill have to hang on a few weeks grrrrr. :)

Medion are not only available through Aldi.
Staples sells Cybercoms which are from the same people as Medion.

Get the 3GHz PC with the big CRT monitor.

Hey Drewy nice name (my name is drew if u didnt know)

If you do want a tft, you can get nice 17" ones for under £400 now - one on special offer elsewhere at the moment for £300. And before anyone goes on about how they must be awful for games, ghosting etc, they're not, I've seen one and heard many things of the other.

For most apps, yeah, you wont notice any difference between the cpus, but the 3ghz does seem to be a fairly significant step up from the other p4s - if you can afford it with a cheaper tft/monitor which you're happy with, go for it, but don't fret finding ways to cut corners if your budget wont stretch to it.

I would go for the 3/06 HT chip and a nice big crt monitor.

Processor speed won't make a fig of difference to the everyday performance, but then I'd prefer a CRT to a TFT meself. Up to you.

thanks for all the input so far my next quetion is option 1 a pentium 4 2.4 gig with radeon 9700pro gc with 17inch prophet view monitor tft (£450 for monitor)or go for a pentium 3.06 with same card but with one of those bulky aoc monitors.

Indeed, a friend I know used to work for a courier firm and watched Gateway PCs still in their boxes get dropped off a conveyorbelt from above head height :O/
