The Official Budget-Conscious Dream Machine!

MY effort, and 620 caus its only 4 pounds over the 520, on sale.

 

I don't think you'll find it is that little above the 520. The 520W is not £77, or if it is, overclockers are ripping you off.
Edit: OK, overclockers are ripping you off. That's a full £15 above the price you'll find it for on any other website, which is disgusting.
Order the NZXT Hush from overclockers UK (since they seem to be about the only place that sells it), and get the rest of the stuff from a shop with decent prices, such as Scan.
Also be advised that overclockers usually can't be bothered to ship cases, so you may have to give them hell at customer services before they'll ship it. It'll eventually arrive, but maybe after a week. I've stopped using OcUK myself for this reason.

 

hehe aye it is. i didnt say id buy it, but the 620 seems alright

 

Yes but why bother when the 520 is fine? There's no reason to buy the 620 unless you will use more than 500W, which you won't. It's not like it offers any other features.

 

umm, i have ordered many cases, inc the hush, and they arived ext day perfectly.

oh and the RMA is very cheap.

id say compare the prices, then compare the prices of getting the things seperate from different shops (remember postage) and then see what worked out cheaper.

 

Well, all three of the last three orders from them have either come up "Delivery cancelled" on the courier page, or arrived with half the stuff missing and their excuse is "oh, well the courier obviously didn't pick it up". So nobody thought to check and tell me?
Very few tech stores in the UK are good for customer service unfortunately. The only one that seems to get everything right is Aria. Specialtech have done well so far, but I haven't had to return anything to them, and that's the only reason why Scan, Dabs and MicroDirect. The goods usually arrive fine, but try to return anything to the latter two of those and they'll tell you to **** off. In one case, literally.
I still use Scan and ebuyer because when the deliveries are late, it's usually not often, not more than one day, and they tell me. OcUK will quite happily spend an entire week not delivering something, and you have to work out who's to blame, the shop or the courier? Neither will admit anything. In the end it's usually the shop.

RMA Cheap? RMAs should be free, that's the whole point!

 

i agree 100%, but i was just cheaking, and if you had a choice of hx520 or 620 within £5 of each other, i'd know what i'd go for.

 

Sure thing. I'd not buy the 520W at that price, because it's up to £20 cheaper elsewhere. I'd consider buying the 620 for cheap and ebaying it, but overclockers' delivery is so incredibly expensive I wouldn't make any profit unless I charged an absolute fortune for postage.

 

right, well maybe you had problems in the past, but for the lest year, its been Aokay with me, and i have had alot of deliveries.

also i meant RAM, not RMA my mistake hehe.

i have had problem with calling scan manytimes, and they seemed rude on thier emails, thats why i chose OCuk over them.

 

Agreed, Scan's CS isn't that great either, but the deliveries have always been quite prompt. All of the problems I've had with OcUK have been in the past year. Before that their service was good and I used them regularly. It seems to me that the company's sales have expanded and the staff can't cope. Ever noticed that there are only two guys manning the tech lines?

 

yeah i have to agree with that, they are alwyas busy via phone, or they dont pick up. and emails are always from two people...hehe

but maybe they have specific employeys for email/phone and more for the warehouse

 

Perhaps, but it wouldn't surprise me if the warehouse is similarly short-staffed, especially since they don't notice when something goes out of stock until the end of the day. If you happen to order after something's sold out but before the stock check's made, tough luck, you'll be waiting for your order for a while. In the age of computerised stock monitoring, that's an absolute joke, especially for a site that sells PC parts.

 

that does me nicely ) only used aria over scan due to scan not doing the nzxt hush case, as for overclockers lol rip off merchants.

 

i had to chose the closest price mobo they had just so you could see the comparison.

 

Heh, £62 more and with a worse motherboard. Aria it is!

 

wow. never looked at aria before. looks like i shall be moving to them , but still charging the same prices to my clients ;D

 

Hehe, you sly devil you. Aria actually built my main gaming PC. Of course I've modified it numerous times, but they did a pretty good job.

 

why'd you let them build?

 

I think his parents didn't trust him to build his own.

 

Indeed, this was only 9 months after the fire caused by a cheap PSU in my last PC. Of course I knew better by then, but how do you convince parents that?
