PC World/Tech Guys Jokers?

[CodedRaver]

My mate had his PC sent in to PC World about a year ago after it was making a strange noise. Anyway, today I went to his house because he was having problems with the computer again.

When I opened it up I found the grill for the PSU had been put back on with two, one inch wood screws!!!
Which had completely torn the thread where the original screws should go.
They had also snapped two blades from the fan for the PSU!

How do these people get their jobs?

Try ringing their helpline lol

Utter rubbish

Your mate failed when he bought a computer from PC World in the first place.

My advise - if you can't build your own, buy Dell or Apple!

Dell's support is alright, but in our business we've had Dell machines that run 24/7 for over 6 years and they're still going!!

^Sounds right

Ditto. Bought a Dell for myself in 2001 - Sold it to a mate a couple of years ago and it's still going strong.

We have Dells at work. We have 9 terminals in our workshop, running SCADA, CMMS programs etc aswell as being used for the usual stuff and have had no hardware related problems in 5 years. Seem very reliable. They're pretty standard spec mind.

I might have a go at building my own next time round.

Another vote for Dell. If you can't be arsed to build your own, want someone to come out and fix it when it's broke but overall, not to break in the first place (on the whole!) then Dell are a good shout now. Their hardware has moved on from the days of people's hate and it really is just muppets now who hold that against them - a couple I know included!

Dell, it's all I ever use.



Infact, just spend 10 grand with them.

Another +1 for Dell.
Even my own PC is a Dell (although I won it in 2004, and haven't needed to upgrade since).

I would definately use Dell if i were buying for business use or expanding a business, all relativly cheap and usually have no problems from what ive heard.

I really like Dell's service tag feature for downloading drivers and stuff. Works well.
