Whether you're looking for an inexpensive, general-purpose PC, a high-end gaming machine or a
computer based Home entertainment sytem incorporating DVD, Video, Internet, Hard-Drive storage of your movies, Music and Pictures, and Surround sound, I can build a system to your specifications.
Only pay for what you need, and don't compromise with the limitations of "One size fits all" off-the-shelf systems. In many cases having a system custom-built is a less expensive option when shopping for a new computer.
There's never been a better time to get a new computer!
CPU's, Motherboards, Ram, Hard-drives, DVD drives, Video-cards, LCD monitors and Printers are at prices so low as to be unthinkable even just a year ago.
On average, components are 33% cheaper than 12 months ago!
As an example, here is an average comparison of 3 entry-level systems, this years model and the last 2 years models, same price, but look at the difference in specifications:

2005/2006 |

So why buy from me? Why not buy a PC from one of the big distributors? Well, here's a few reasons:
- Up-to-date components:
Have a look at the fine print on the adverts for the 3 biggest PC distributors in this country (let's call them C, D and A). They're still selling systems with "High-speed 667 Mhz DDR RAM" and "Huge 160 gig Hard-drives". 667mMhz DDR was high speed ram and a 160 Gig Hard-drive was huge, 3 - 4 years ago! Why are they still manufacturing computers with this outdated hardware? Because 3 years ago they bought it by the container-load and they're still trying to use their old stock.
I build all my new systems using the latest technology, which I am constantly researching.
- Warranty:
I often repair PC's manufactured by the major distributors while they are still under warranty. Why do they get brought to me for repair instead of getting repaired for free under warranty? Usually it's because their owners have had them repaired under warranty before and are not prepared to be without their computer for weeks! Turn-around times for warranty repairs by the major sellers are notoriously slow! One of my clients told me that they had to wait 12 weeks to get their system back from it's last repair and it still wasn't fixed to their satisfaction when it arrived. All my systems come with complete manufacturers warranties on parts.
I personally guarantee that any faults found on a new system built by me will be fixed immediately.
- Build quality:
After 20 years of building
PC's I can still count the number of new systems I've assembled that have been returned within 6 months due to problems on my fingers!
All my new systems are given a thorough "burn in" before being delivered, ensuring that component manufacturing defects are detected before the customer takes delivery.
