Alienware Computers

[Street Preacher]

I'm decided to finally get a new pc snd have had a look around on the net and i like the look of the Alienware pcs.

 

Has anybody got or had one and if so was it worth the money?

 

The last TWO companies(TINY and Carrera)that i bought my pcs from both went bankrupt so I'd appreciate any advice on where i should buy my computer if Alienware's not the place to go.

 

I'm looking at paying between £1,000-£1300,00.

I bought mine five years ago from Mesh Computers I 'built' it online and it was shit-hot at the time for a good price, the service and customer support was good and its still going strong.

I "borrow" mine from work, have just upgraded. :whistle:

I know nothing about this area really, but we tend to buy all our big electronic purchases from Lee's (or John Lewis, as it is now) as their "Never Knowingly Undersold" policy means you won't get ripped off and they throw in free extended warranties. Obviously they don't have techy-nerd knowledge like a specialist would have, but I sometimes think that's an advantage as they'll sell you what you need rather than try to blind you with techno-babble.

I got mine from Dabs.com. Decent prices.

I always build me own, and I use dabs, scan.co.uk or novatech.co.uk for the parts.

 

building them is so easy these days, and you can get the best spec for your cash.

Alienware are the nuts, but you are paying for it.

 

Find a pc with a decent processor, graphics card, good quality ram and a decent sized hard disk.

 

You should be able to get one from most places for about 60% of what Alienware charge.

 

Dont go to PC world.

 

Have a look at the standard PC suppliers. http://www.ebuyer.com, http://www.scan.co.uk,http://www.cclonline.com, http://www.komplett.co.uk, http://www.dabs.co.uk etc

 

Most of them will build it for you if you arent capable yourself

http://www.scan.co.uk/

 

That's all you need to know. Scan *Rock*, even if they are behind the Reebok Stadium in Bolton...

 

They have pre-built kickarse systems, or you can choose your bits and they'll build it, or just get the bits and build it yourself.

 

Good prices, good return policy and only down the East Lancs to pick it up.

Jonah.

Tiny or Time were absolutely awful machines to be fair.

 

Horrible to try and work on too.

[Guest molbyscorchio]

Go and get a Mac. You can even run Windows on it too, if you're desperate.

I would also recommend a mesh machine.

Mesh have some really excellent deals (the laptop on which I am now typing was one of theirs), although to be honest you are as well to try out some of the direct-from-manufacturer shops on eBay.

 

Aria also have some really good deals on PC bits and pieces, although we haven't bought any PCs from them previously.

 

A top tip though is *not* to search for "Aria" on google images unless you are free from prying eyes...

Mesh are excellent. Evesham also make quality machines for your budget.

 

Bought from both and never had any problems.

 

Alienware are quality, but like mentioned, you pay for all the quality parts.
