Hello,
I've been around the forum for a while, read the tutorials and some threads an I think lots of you guys are great. So I'm going to try and ask you to guide me through the process of getting a new PC .
First of all, I live in London and everything here is just bloody expensive. And I do mean online prices, nevermind the high-street. It's about 1,5-2 times more expensive then some of US online shops I've seen posted here.
So before I'll make any further decisions I need to know if it's at all possible to buy it online in US and ship and assemble here.
1. Sockets, if I'll have a simple US-to-EU plug to stick my US comp in UK socket - will it be alright? Or the voltage or something else will mess up my comp?
2. Shops. I've had a look around on newegg and so far I'm really attracted to the prices and choice, but their warranty policies seems dodgy - do they have them at all? Or is it all manufacturer warranty?
3. Shipping. Do you reckon (or maybe you've had experience) they'll deliver all the stuff with no damages? I wouldn't like to resend it a thousand times at my expense.
4. Alternatives. Are there any decently priced (in comparison to US) shops in UK? And in genreal, do you think it's all worh it? I mean, I'm on the limited budget and I'd love to get a better value for my money.
I would really appreciate all the help guys. Thanks in advance.
