Fool of a took. Lat was doing the hand job. And it was still shit.


Regals were king size though, bargain!

What did you have to go and say that for? You realise now that Sheriff is going to bombard me with offers to build the PC?

Christ, he'll probably offer to buy the parts too.

nfc where you got the 20% extra from. I crunched the numbers like a good little internet geek and it came out much less of a margin than that - enough for me not to bother putting it all together myself anyway.

I guessed at the percentage really. But I've just made an identical spec basket as one of their pre-builds. To get the pre-build to my door is £1112.89 and the basket of same things is £940.20 to my door. That £170 can be spent on hangy offy bits, more ram or most of a big fat monitor.

It's not 20% but I still wouldn't pay it.

Isn't it (my maffs is shit) about 15%? That's a lot for the work involved, even with a fair bit of testing.

It is indeedy. And they don't actually say what gtx285 they use so I went asus as it's the cheapest listed, they probably use aftermarket ocuk versions from leadtek or similar so that's a few quid more.

I did expect more to be honest, I wouldn't regard it as worth the effort for anything less than 15% unless the orders were quite infrequent.
