Remember when everyone used to pop down to PC World to pay £800 for a PC they could have cobbled together for £400? They must have been raking it in in the late 90's/early 00's...

the whole group exploited the public for decades. If I have a choice i will always shop elsewhere

Crazy days !! I recall buying our first PC from a computer shop who built it to my specifications ... It must be nearly 30 years ago .. cost just over £2,000 !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Buying ore-built still costs more than building your own obviously but it’s a much more realistic service charge these days, like £100-£150 more than the cost of the parts. Not DOUBLE. It was insane. (Except “Alienware” who still seem to be charging £1500 for computers you could build for under £1000) |

Also... I thought ore-built was some new phrase I'd never heard of at first. |

Except you can't buy graphics cards these days so I've more or less given up for the time being :shrug:. |

i built my own pc's years ago, and upgraded them myself regularly too. Over the last 10 years, the need to upgrade frequently just hasn't been there and the configure your pc build and let them build it is very competitively priced and they do a great neat build, which is something i never managed in all my builds :laugh:
