Which is exactly why it's so important to push the quality of your merchandise and after-sales service
You don't get a crappy printer, but you do get peace of mind and a crash-hot PC
Look at Dell. You can get a s***y celeron system with tft monitor, printer, camera, speakers, teasmade, wheelbarrow and cuddly toy for £299. What they don't tell you is that replacement Dell parts cost rediculously large amounts of money. A normal PC case fan costs around £2.50 inc. VAT (for a good quality LED lit one). A bog-standard Dell case fan costs £35 + VAT!!
Which is why when you call for your £299 Dell system, they talk you into taking out their extended warranty which just happens to cost £349. Your £299 dell system has ended up costing you £648!
I'm not preaching here, this is for the benefit of anyone looking at selling PCs. It's impossible for a small retailer to offer the kinds of deals that the big boys do, so you have to look to other avenues. And it can work, there are lots of people out there that would rather pay a bit more to buy from a small, reputable expert than from a large, faceless, uncaring organisation. You just have to identify the oppositions weaknesses and capitalise on it!

well it seems a bit faster. still not perfect. i have put my banshee card back in this pc just to get the smaller res on my old pc but now this pc buggers up and wont even show the "it is now safe to turn off your pc" message. when it used to auto turn off was great. now it doesnt anymore and i have to hold the power button.

Offering a copuple of suggestions from a buyer's point of view i'll have to say:
a) make the site more attention grabbing....looks too basic as of now
b) details mate details....for ex i had a look at your AMD extreme base unit..........i'd definitely like to know the brand of dvd re-writer/geforce card etc, brand and speed specs of ram, brand and rpm rating of hdd etc
c) mention anything worth mentioning(ie something you've done out of the ordinary).......for ex like water cooling was mentioned you should have mentioned the case is an antec super-lanboy......apart from looking good in specs it also gives confidence to the buyer that at time of delivery you wont give just any "stylish" case but only what you show in pic......same goes for all other components
d) remove the "A" before every spec ie dont write it as "A water cooled............." IMHO that looks very unprofessional.
