PC

I’ve since written to Shuttle, and heard fuck all, and written to Micro-Direct (who I bought it from) who have responded with “Not our problem.”
Anyway, on Tuesday I ordered a new PC from Dell, of all places. Not a world-shaking bit of kit, but not bad either – 3.0Ghz dual core processor, 2Gb RAM, blah, blah, blah – and of course I can then also shove in the RAM I got for the shuttle box, plus the DVD writer, and up the score with it even more.
So I ordered it on Tuesday. And it arrived today.
Not bad service at all – of course, we still have to check it’s all a) there, and b) working. But that’s the work for tonight, and then migrating stuff over the weekend. Oh goody…
Not had a single problem with my Dell, and it’s had RAM upgrades, additional hard drives, DVD writer installed by me as well.
Ohh there is a script SOMEWHERE on the net which will ‘de-Dell’ it for you… I don’t use any of their pre-installed stuff.
