Make sure you are not being over sold, if you are a home user who uses basic office applications and likes to roam the web, you will not need the latest processor and huge amounts of memory. If you are a serious gamer, make sure you can specify the latest multimedia components. Make sure your proposed computer is scalable, if you need to increase the performance at a later date, make sure you can. More importantly, make sure you can talk to a human who will support you before and after you have purchased your computer.
Larger companies like HP, IBM and Dell offer a vast array of pre built systems, the problem with these chaps is price and after sales service. Although these companies have huge purchasing power, they also have huge over heads, did you know that approximately marketing and advertising accounts for £35 of every computer they sell. As you can imagine, their cost of sale is huge; many people will get paid a commission for the sale of your computer. The scale of economy means you will probably also deal with a call centre to get any level of support.
Dealing with smaller companies does have its advantages, although they do not have the purchasing power of the big boys their overheads and cost of sale is much less, which means the price should be the same, if not less. They tend to be more flexible, if you want 2 hard drives, you can, if you want more memory, you can. HP, Dell and IBM will always be around as a result so will your warranty, make sure your small computer company has a good trading history, if their web site does not look good, there is a probability the company will not be either, if the company goes bust, you will not have a warranty.
If you are buying computers in bulk go to the big boys, if you are buying for yourself check out the smaller companies, you will be surprised.
