Took the plunge and ordered a New Computer
Just ordered my new computer--should be here the 1st week of November.

Furski, I use CyberPower Inc.
I have purchased from them before and was very happy--I have just outgrown that old computer. Also, when I ordered it--I did not do my research on what I wanted or needed. I have always found the customer service from CyberPower to be outstanding and enjoy the flexibility to pick exactly what I want in my computer. However, if you are confident in your technical skills or know someone that can build you a computer--that may be a cheaper way to go. I am not that confident in my skills--it has been about 13 years since I did any PC building and much has changed. I also like my friends and would not want to put the responsibility of building me a computer on them--especially if something went wrong with the build. I think I got a great price on what I am getting and know they will back up anything they build! If you take advantage of their special offers--you can usually get a great deal.
I totally agree with Willard i have used Cyberpower UK for my computers and the customer service and advice is second to none. The quality of the equipment is great as is the service i would highly recommend them to anybody. The last one i got from them was only a few months back for Demon and it works great. So if you are not thinking of building your own they are the place to go :)
