Yet another new computer for me

VileReynard · ‎01-09-2007

I'd like to have a PC (Linux compatible of course) built for me.
Can anyone recommend a suitable company that does this?
I'm looking for something like (as an example - taken from somewhere called www.computerplanet.co.uk)

Quote
Asus M2N68-AM 2000MT/s (NVIDIA 7025)
AMD Athlon II X2 250 2MB (2 x 3.0 GHZ)
Corsair 2GB PC-6400 800 MHZ (1 x 2 GB) (DDR2)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 - 1 GB- DVI/VGA/HDMI (XFX)
LG 22" (W2261VP) Widescreen TFT - HDMI/DVI-D/VGA - 2ms - (HD 1080p)
650W PSU

Total cost in the £500-ish region

Comments welcome.

Has to be new.

I've heard these people http://www.powerc.com/ are good ( not used them myself though! ). The AMD entry level configured similar to your spec comes out at £415 with no operating system.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

My Debian desktop (base unit only) came from Power Computing and has been trouble-free for the couple of years I've had it. CCL Online are worth a look, too, if you're looking to buy without a pre-installed OS.

I can vouch for CCL. They are happy to sell you a box with no OS installed.

Try The Linux Emporium, http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/ . Thry tend to be a bit pricey but have a good reputation.

VileReynard · ‎01-09-2007

They are pricey - but they seem to use quite pricey components...

Could be useful for components etc though.
I've actually ordered my PC though; although I have sent my order to one that I didn't intend to >:(.
Hope all turns out well.
I've spent hours going through different configurators etc - only to end up with something that is virtually the same price/configuration.
Despite all the good suggestions in this thread, I didn't actually taken any of them <stupid me>
I was going to choose the one closest to home - but have ended up not doing that.
They also stung me for 2% towards their credit card costs.
