    I just noticed this on their site. Do you think it's worth recommending to people here on the forum that aren't willing to build their own? I've bought a few things from them and haven't had a problem yet. They even price match an item for me.
    What are your thoughts?

    They are registered for VAT here so prices get upped to 23% VAT at checkout

    Don't we pay vat on hardwareversand too?

    Something like this looked quite decent:

    They're decent prices as prebuilts go, and if someone really really really didn't want to build a PC and had nobody to assist them I'd have no problems sending them somewhere like OCUK over most of the alternatives (Hi Dell :)).

    Scan.co.uk are actually pretty good for this sort of thing as well, although a quick comparison suggest OCUK offer better value.

    OCUK are not great value imo. Their component prices are usually some of the highest in the UK apart from a few good deals now and then. Then there's the high premium for buying a pre built pc and they charge extra vat on irish orders.
