Yes I know this should probably be in Computer related but I'm in a real fix and I need a quick answer

My PC is just about dead in the water and I'm only on here by the skin of my teeth, my printer is dead, I cant reload Word and even Internet explorer has given up the ghost and I'm using Netscape.

It's not a virus or anything my PC is clean but suffering from senile dementia.....it is 8 years old and belongs in a museum.

I need a new PC pretty quick...was going to order a Mesh but suddenly saw a lot of negative feedback about their customer service, Dell seem okay, Evesham?

Help please as I need to order in the next day or to before this heap self destructs completely.

All help very gratefully received.

Whatever make suggested on here, someone will have had a bad experience with them. So, bear that in mind.

My pick would be Dell.

If you dont want to build one yourself, i would also recommend Dell, really good value for money and people i've spoke to say they have a really good aftersales care.

What more would you want

scarey

I've got a Dell and never had any problems

also ordering is very easy over the web

Dell is looking very promising.....A couple of friends have bought them over the last 12 months and been positive about the experience

Another semi thumbs up for Dell.

As I had a few bits and pieces like a processor and memory lying around, I thought I'd build a PC for my parents. With some of Dell's current offers, it would now have been cheaper to buy a Dell (and that was with me buying parts from ebuyer and dabs).

Against that, I've had a Dell laptop at work in the past and wasn't impressed. BIOS upgrades were a regular feature whenever new software was installed. There was also a perception at work that they were unreliable. I did a more methodical survey and found that (out of 30 laptops) if someone had a good one, it would be thoroughly reliable; a bad one would have you on good terms with Dell's service engineers very quickly. The good/bad split was pretty much 50/50.

Another thumbs up for Dell from me.

hi ya i have used this company since 95 and found the prises to be very keen the systems are outstanding and after sales is spot on
that is the one thing that i would say is questionable on the hole with big company's

Looking 2 Buy

I install computers for the police up and down and accross the country, we use 99% Dells, Yeah I have had my fair share of problemtic machines, but on a % wise its pretty good I have installed at least 1000 machines and prob had about 50-60 with faults, Dell support is pretty good, well for me anyway as the company I work for have top level service agreement with em.

bought a Dell for my parents. 2.66 Celeron, 160 Gb HD, 1Gb Ram, XP Home, 17" TFT. just over £300. They don't need fancy sound or graffix so it was ideal. bought a DVD writer for it for £30 and they are sorted!
