Reply to: Best online site for PC base unit only

Try Mesh Computers. Very good specs. Not the cheapest though but you get what you pay for.

Under no circumstances would I recommend pc desktop options ltd.

Had a very nasty episode with them where I had to invoke SOGA, DSR's, Trading Standards and the credit card company to get my money back on a piss poor base unit from them.

Oh did I say their customer service was shyte with a capital 'S'?

I remember reading about that......

I'm not an ATI fan either. But if this is for a workstation, you don't need any specialist graphics at all unless you make games or something like that.

Or play games on it in your spare time, or are interested in CUDA.

As the OP asks - where from?

Precision ™ Desktop Workstation T1500

DDR III Ram, Intel i5-750 (quad core processor), Nvidia Quadro graphics.

Costs a wee bit more (About £600+VAT) but performance.

Dell.

For that money you could get a decent quad core Intel box.

AMD processor is crap. Slow and uses more power than the sun.

ATI make tulip graphics cards that tend to be unstable.

You could build one for £200. It depends on what you want out of a computer.

You can buy a barebones system for £200. Or build one yourself for £500. I can't even tell what point you're trying to make

[TheFaQQer]

Yes that does look reasonable.

Thanks for all the comments!!!

I haven't got the same model, but bought a unit from them a few years back with no major problems.
