    Interesting!

    Although I only use Scan and Specialtech for my kit, it will be interesting to see another company come in and shake things up.

    This is always going to be a good thing. More competition to bring prices down (especially scam computers lol).

    I wouldn't expect prices to come down much, if at all. The margins are pretty tight already.

    I don't mind more competition, whether it will make any difference I don't know but I don't see a downside to it.

    If this actually happens, then the best part about it from my perspective is access to Rosewill products eg Capstone series. Hopefully those products will be priced as competitively as they often are in the US.

    Good to see them coming over to the UK, always thought why they hadn't done it sooner?

    I'd be surprised if this had a significant effect on prices, but more choice for buyers is almost always good news.

    It won't touch prices, but it is one more option for sales, B-grade and clearance items.

    Always a good thing :thumb:

    With my luck they'll use Yodel or some other nightmare courier. Please use DPD!
