I went shopping for a PC on the weekend for friends. Went to Precision computers - the guy wanted to argue with me over technical specs. I wasn't impressed and wouldn't be sure of after sales support with that kind of attitude. Ended up getting it from Concorde Computers - they gave a pretty good deal and were quite good to deal with. Very painless. I've bought another system from Surpass computers about 2 years ago. They were okay (dunno if they're still in business!). Wollongabba Computer Group have always been alright to deal with, although the 17" monitor I bought from them was DOA :-( I've bought 3D video cards and blank CDs from them without any problems. I've bought gear from Sunlit which has always been faulty. Maybe I was just unlucky. Lastly, have you thought of Gateway or Dell? "Name Brand" PCs that aren't really all that too expensive. www.dell.com.au ... -- Dion! -=DUH#12=- (Y1) Photography, Motorsport Photography, Land Rovers and Radio Scanning: http://dionsplace.terrashare.com/
