| Fujitsu | Siemens AMILO Desktop Si 3535 | Hi I brought this a month ago, taking a chance as I could not find any reveiws!!! firstly swift delivery! getting it set up was easy....Im not technically minded but managed......after a quick phone call to the supplier!! I could not find the wireless usb stick to connect to the box....its underneath the keyboard! genius! I have had no problems with the software, mouse or keyboard. you will need to buy a HDMI cable, my computer is wired up to the tv. It does all the downloading itself, which doesnt take long and no cds to load! definatley worth it! |  | lou | 22/07/2009 12:51:13 |

| Acer | ASP M3640 3GB | Bought this desktop for my partner who is addicted to pc games requiring lots of memory (i.e. War strategy games). So far it has performed excellently with no hitches whatsoever. Has ample memory and speed for lots of games and storing data. All in all, I would say the guy in Comet was spot on when he said it would do the trick. The service was quick, easy and pleasant and just what a customer looks for when purchasing a product.

I took out my Sony memory stick from the camera, popped it into the slot on the front of the tower and hey presto, my photo`s appeared instantly on screen. It even categorised them by date. A very impressive machine at a very impressive price. Go buy one!!! | | Mike Neill | 02/04/2006 07:59:52 |

| HEWLETT PACKARD | A150UK | HP has done it again, I have spent over 3 months looking for a new business computer and having contacted independent dealers and the multiples, found that no small retailer could match the criteria that we required from the machine at a competetive price. I contacted HP who were as usual extremely helpful and assured me that this machine would fulfill our requirements, they are absolutely right, well done HP, if you are looking for a well built, high grade machine with good back up look no further that the HP Pavilion A150UK | | J James | 10/07/2003 18:21:25 |

|
| ACER | G500 AMD2600+ | I was only looking for a base unit and I found the Aspire G600 for £700 with corded keyboard and optical mouse (both of high quality). For this kind of money I was expecting an Athlon XP 2200+ at best, so the 2600+ was a welcome bonus. The 512MB PC2100 ram is quick, as is the hard disk.
The two optical media drives are reliable and responsive, and as a gamer I was pleased to have an ATI Radeon 9000 64MB, which outperforms and has more hardware trickery than the more commonly offered Nvidia GeForce 4MX (try to find another GPU on a PC labelled mid-level).
The quick access CD player buttons on the tower (which is quiet and well ventilated) are a gimmick but do no harm. Sound support is good with an integrated EAX2 compatible AC'97 stereo chip, but the bundled speakers lack a little refinement.
However I can recommend this system as excellent value for money - you get great stability and speed for a relatively modest price. Note you get the recovery CD after mailing your warranty back to Acer. | | Paul W. | 19/02/2003 09:09:01 |

| ADVENT | 3211 | I have to say this is the best computer I have ever bought. It is definitely value for money and performs like a £2,000.00 computer but costs less than it's high priced competitors. Well done to ADVENT. | | Sean | 05/01/2003 10:12:28 |

| EMACHINES | 370 | I have a 370 emachine. Like the person above I changed the display, removing the CRT and attaching a LCD. The screen display was dreadful so I bought a zotac graphics card and now its beautiful. I got it from my niece. She was going to bin it because the PSU died. I had a spare and fitted it in plus installed a 80 gb hard drive. However I tried to get my printer to run on it but unfortunately the usb connectors are not working. Maybe they need software update. Has anyone else had this problem. Reviewed by bess 19.10.09 |  | Bess | 29/10/2009 09:19:33 |

| EMACHINES | 390 | I have had this PC for around 5 years now, It`s been great. The only major problem I had was the PSU burning out. Luckily, it didn`t damage the motherboard and it was easily replaced. | | ??? | 27/08/2008 17:42:53 |

|
| ADVENT | T9404 | I`ve owned one of these machines since August 2005. To begin with I did have all the problems as listed - hard drive failure, motherboard etc. PC World engineers replaced several items of hardware, but the problem kept recurring. In the end I gave up on PC World`s help and decided to try sorting it out myself. Replaced the D-Drive with a new 250gb drive, then formatted C-drive and installed a new version of XP (shop-bought) to replace the factory fitted XP it came with. It would appear these problems are caused by the way XP was installed, as since these changes were carried out in 2006, the PC has been spot-on. I still own and use this PC regularly now, no further problems have occured. Its a little sluggish on startup, but once running its a very good machine. Its fast even by todays standards, internet browsing is a doddle, and multi-tasking doesnt slow it down either. I would not recommend this item off-the-shelf as there will be problems, but with a few changes this PC may just shrug off these reviews! Mine certainly has. | | Ju | 16/08/2008 12:31:49 |

would like to of give the pc a 5/5 rating but due to them disabling the nview feature will only give it a 4/5. have heard different reasons for this like conflicts with gigapocket(which is a great bit of kit,its a tv card that you can record onto your hard drive and then burn to dvd) conclusion if you are not bothered about running an extended desktop then this is a top spec pc..... | | scott lewis | 13/01/2004 13:05:13 |

Decent with a ram upgrade now got mine on 704 MB of RAM and runs smoothly shame about the 64 MB Graphics Card All in all a medium spec pc of about 3 years ago not much use now but with a few updates here and there you have a cheap fast and user freindly family pc. | | Matty | 19/03/2007 21:58:56 |

| EMACHINES | 820 Base Unit | It`s NOT the motherboard but the PSU that is the weak link. As soon as you start to get errors check the voltages and you will probably find 12V on the 5V rail! If you `scope the 5V rail you will probably see a huge level of hum. Eventually the USB and keyboard will pack up as these draw the most current from the 5V rail. If you want to keep your computer running replace the PSU now, it`s 20quid well spent! | | PSU is rubbish | 01/12/2006 14:54:42 |

| EMACHINES | 390 | Great easy to use computer, served well for 3 years BUT there is a design fault with the power supply, which also damaged motherboard £400 to repair so take out extended warranty with this pc just incase! | | Rhiannon | 16/05/2006 10:00:47 |

| FUJITSU | SCALEO 3601 XP | I bought one & the software crashed so PC World gave me a new one, the second one had its DVD writer break on me & PC World replaced that. Now however it works fine, it`s very speedy for all the things I need it to do and runs Call of Duty 2 no bother.
Well specced pc that is good value, just dont buy from PC World!!!
Speakers are average but needed upgrading, keyboard ok and mouse is cheap (get a microsoft mouse). | | Comrade Chat | 06/03/2006 17:48:08 |

| COMPAQ | 1080 17in TFT | Excellent spec on paper, however let down by a middle-of-the-road graphics card that struggles on comlex games at top resolution. Also, very noisy HDD when accessing data. Good, but could do better - Urgent need for a mark 2 with a top graphics card to match the rest of the machine - Come on Compaq - Sort it out !! | | Malc Morris | 06/07/2004 10:24:46 |

|
| EMACHINES | 190 17in CRT | This is a good computer, but you cannot fit an AGP graphics card as the graphics are integrated. | | Andrew | 06/05/2004 12:37:36 |

|
| Packard Bell | IMEDIA 5057 Base Unit | Not a bad cheap desktop pc. The downside is that you can only upgrade the memory to a maximum 512mb. (2x256mb), and theres only room for one hard drive (which is located screwed vertically to front of the case. |  | Mike Walters | 10/07/2008 18:59:56 |

| EMACHINES | 2210 17in TFT | Worked for a short while and performed well but the lack of RAM is shocking and it eventually failed after about a year and a half because the power source destroyed the mother board so be careful of that anyone whose got it | | annoymous | 30/12/2007 10:02:10 |

|

| EMACHINES | 820 Base Unit | Nice computer all round accept (motherboard is aload of rubbish) if your computer fails to come on, and it just flashes! than your motherboard has blown) in other words your need a new P4 motherboard. this is common problem with this machine and I have come across many of these models with the same error!! | | Jamie Phillips | 30/12/2005 15:43:44 |

| Packard Bell | IMEDIA 5054 | nothing special and the back up guarantee is most certainly lacking...no-one takes responsibility for the warranty the manufacturer nor the retailer. | | heather | 13/10/2003 09:20:08 |

| EMACHINES | 190 Base Unit | Hello All, my board is faulty. I am in south africa. Help:-( |  | Anon | 20/08/2009 07:49:00 |

| EMACHINES | 420 Base unit | I`ve owned this now for a few years, it is not worth it! its rubbish! Firstly it doesnt have a slot to upgrade the graphics card, and all components are linked therefor you cannot but another motherboard that can take a graphics card as you`d need a new processor etc! I`ve replaced motherboard, hard drive, power supply. The computer is great for just surfing the web. Even opening programs such as paint it will struggle! and my rams upgraded to MAX!

| HP | Pavilion g3001 Intel Pentium-D Dual Core 925 | Doesn`t have a PCIe x16 slot, only a PCIe x1 mini slot DON`T BUY THIS! It`s not worth it at all, it has the worst motherboard I have ever seen plus the usb ports play up and the intergrated graphics blows on all levels. IT`S SO SLOW TOO LOL, I put mine in the bin last week. Was really that useless. | | Kyle | 18/07/2008 19:40:13 |
