Thread: Where to get my new rig?

I guess that's just the way life is, once you have a bad experience you don't trust them. Will check out the others. My mate ended up getting a replacement, after a week though.

I forgot about the Quidco cashback with Novatech.

Depends what sort of rig you're after, as you can start with Dell and go on to places like KustomPC's. Scan have a good range of systems and their service is usually good - so it's worth having a look.

Well I might suggest that your experience isnt the norm with scan, did your mate contact them? Usually they are good at sorting stuff out if mistakes have been made. Are you buying pre-built or components? Other than the three you mentioned, CCL Online are another big one; I have used before but not as much as scan or ebuyer. For components Dabs.com are another big store, (owned by BT, I'll leave it to you as whether that is good or a...

I've always had pleasant experiences with the guys at SCAN and would recommend their services without hesitation. Text messages to say when the products shipped, with tracking number? = Excellent.

Ebuyer and Scan tend to te the best IMO. Their prices are very competitive although IMO Ebuyer usually tend to be cheaper but Scan have faster delivery.

Ebuyer's support is brilliant though although my RMA is a week late but as it's a...

I think you can only judge an experience for yourself, mistakes are made by any company it doesnt mean they are particulary bad at what they do. I would take what your friend said with a pinch of salt as there is always 2 sides to a story. Hope you make the correct decision. Best Regards

Ebuyer seem to have some good prices and I have used them before without problem. I agree about oc.co.uk though. Returns policy and staff leave a little to be desired.

I've found Aria to be pretty good, plus you can speak to a real human if there is a problem. Tekheads used to be good but I've not used them in a while.
