Been thinking about replacing my PC for quite some time (have a 7 year old Win98 machine). Has anyone had any personal experience - good or bad - of either of the two companies below? They seem to offer quite a lot of 'bang for your bucks'.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve.

I used http://www.pcnextday.co.uk/ a couple of years ago, and basically it did what it said on the tin. The fact they they are still going has to be a good sign. :)
pcnextday I think often submit their machines for the PC Pro reviews, and they often get quite good write-ups. I've never used either company myself though.
Thanks for the info guys. At the moment I'm leaning towards PCSpecialists. You can build a system to your specs, which I like but also with PCNextday you can only use email to contact them - no phone number! This concerns me a little if any problems arise trying to get things sorted.

Another good company is Novatech, based down in Portsmouth used them for parts and never had issue they sell barebones to fully built. http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/home.html

You might want to look at Scan, Steve. Build to your spec or to 'stock spec', 3 year OSM warranty, phone or email support six days a week.
DinoPC (http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/home.asp) allow you to configure a PC too, never used them though, I build my own.

I've built my own for the last few years. Although it seems quite daunting at first once you've done the first the rest get easier. You decide the spec and can shop around for the bits you need. Another benefit is that you have a good idea where to look if things do go wrong in the future - although 90% of my problems have been software related.
Having said that, any systems we need for customers we buy ready built with on-site support. If you're not looking for the latest high end spec then you can often pick up a business spec machine quite cheaply at e-buyer.
