Likewise Bob.
Another thing that is only relevant if things go wrong is that they have
an efficient returns policy too.
The thing that caught my eye was that all the components are branded and
that there is room for a PCI-E graphics card too, which means room for
expansion in terms of graphics, cpu and memory. The case is no looker,
but it is billed as silent (pinch of salt duly taken), so not a bad base
unit for £250 (delivered) if you ask me. I could build better for the
same money or less, but that's not everyone's cup of tea is it?
