Where to Buy Computing equipment

[WorAl]

OK just bought a printer from and was ripped off, was second hand and had parts missing.

So I have now ruled them out of any future purchases.

The question is, who do I use now? I need a new PC soon, but where to buy it?

Sorry for the edit but no N&S'ing please.

I tend to use eBuyer or Scan, never had any problems with either

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

Dabs are ok but tend to be a shade more expensive

I usually use Novatech or eBuyer

Novatech, always had great service and prices from them.

Another vouch for Scan!

Was only in there this Saturday!
There's always the added bonus that you may see the owners black Nissan GTR too - SCAN 1



But also had an email from Aria yesterday advertising their pre-built PC's.
They seem quite good value too, with the total sum being £20/30 cheaper than if you bought the bits yourself:

Also have a look in Argos for printers. They always seem to have Canons at half price:

Been using them for years.

Ebuyer or Scan. I've used them both for years. I tend to stick with Ebuyer now though.

I remember buying a 2x CD-ROM drive (reader, not writer) from Scan when they were in Little Lever, £110+VAT!! Must have been about 16 years ago. I would have paid anything to be able to avail of the Blobby Cd's though

was it sold to you as new ?
take it back, selling against trade descriptions

essential parts, like a power cord ?
take it back, not fit for purpose
