    Hi there!

    This is actually a post on behalf of a friend, who wants to buy a prebuilt computer.

    What are the highly rated shops nowadays? I'm guessing Scan and Overclockers are on the list? Any others?

    Cheers.

    PC specialist. If you don't mind timing your RAM etc then Cyberpower are OK (ish).

    Don't forget to check out Dell's refurb corner. They have great deals sometimes.

    HP Omens are quite nice too.

    And available in all kinds of specs etc. PC world sell them also and you may find them a bit cheaper.

    3 up at £504 on the outlet. I can't link to it as it never works. That seems very fair though.
