Seems like that new pc can't come too soon.The backlight on my laptop has played up once before, and now it's died altogether. The screen still works, but with no backlight, it's impossible to see what's on it, so I've had to hook up the crt monitor from my old pc again, and frankly it looks awful.
I've been checking out the desktop pcs at Dixons and there's some good ones in my price range, but I don't care much for the after sales support there and the staff in my local store are generally a bunch of blithering iadiots, always bickering among themselves, so I don't think I really wanna get one from there.
I'll go take a look in PC World and see what they've got, though to be honest, I've heard bad things about after sale support there too.
There's also the funky little pc shop in wolverton that makes up systems to order from scratch, which sounds like a good option, but it's one of those here today gone tomorrow kinda places and while I trust their ability, I don't trust them to still be there if things go wrong.
Finally there's The PC Shop... an amalgam of Tiny and Time. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole... their reuptation is so bad.
Decisions decisions.
Oh, and before anyone says get one on mail order or online coz it's cheaper... no way. I want bricks and mortar, and local... so I can walk into the place and look them in the eye.
