Hi,
I am thinking of buying a new computer but i live on the island of jersey, so choice locally is limited so i am going to purchase online...
I have features and specifications which i require from my computer but as you can imagine finding a PC with all of these is near impossible....so does anybody know a site where i can enter certain criteria and it will find suitable or ideal matches for my needs ??
Well, it depends on what you are looking for. Dells are usually well reccomended, however, i have had some problemms with them before. It would really help if we knew what you needed.
Monarch Computer and United Micro are both pretty good. Neither one has every product under the sun (but you can pick up the odds and ends from www.newegg.com), their build quality and warranties are just as good if not better than the 'big boys'. I've used both of them before and have had ZERO problems.
Check out www.cpusolutions.com.
They've been in business 6 years and I stand by them %100.
I get my items in a day or two.
I kind of resell (build PC's for companies and charge them).
Great deals, great prices, great brand names, great products.
Just build a barebone system and go from there.
If you need a modem, add a modem.
If you need a 80GB hard drive, add a 80GB hard drive.
If you need anything, add what you need.
Period point blank....they are a good company and won't rip you off.
Buy your parts on-line and build your own. Off the shelf stuff like Dell, Compaq, HP, etc, all suck. Very proprietary on the upgrades, and a crap load of bundled software that nobody wants. Customer support is usually someone from India.
Build your own, it's easy, cheaper, and you get what you pay for. Ownership of a quality product is the biggest thing. You can swap out parts as you see fit (you can't really do that with the others).
I HIGHLY recommend newegg.com. They have great prices and VERY good customer service. Free shipping will usually get you your stuff in 2-3 business days.
Oh, I thought you were talking about New Jersey usa, and were tryin to make it sound a little more exotic, "The Island of Jersey" like the island of manhatten, never mind.
This would be a great setup if you can find a shop to build it or do it yourself:
Asus A7N8X nForce2 SocketA ATX Audio/LAN/AGP8X (RETAIL)
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1.83GHz 333MHz/512KB Socket A CPU (Retail)
Kingston HyperX 1GB KIT DDR400 PC3200 CL2 (2-3-2) DIMM LiteOn 52x32x52/16x CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive (Retail)
LiteOn SOHW-812S 8X Dual DVD±RW Drive (Retail)
Mitsumi USB 2.0 7-in-1 Ext. Memory Card Reader + Floppy Disk Drive
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB 7200RPM 8MB Buffer SATA HDD (Master)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB 7200RPM 8MB Buffer SATA HDD (Backup/Storage)
Sapphire RADEON 9600 PRO ATLANTIS ULTIMATE 128MB DDR AGP8X TVO/DVI
Enlight 72500AZ MidTower ATX w/ 300W ATX12V PSU
Enlight 420W Dual Fan ATX12V PSU
This sytem will do anything you need to do; game, photo/video, just plain web/word processing usage, run many peripherals, etc. Oh, I noticed I forgot a modem. Make sure to get a HARDWARE modem(not a Winmodem).
that's what I mean, I thought it sounded kinda fancy to say Island of Jersey, Go Devils!!
