Hehe Good Luck, I got a box from them on friday, brought it back, installed
my bits including a brand new atx m/b and p3 800, and when i attached the
power supply, boom, green lightning, darkened room and me left looking like
jo brand on a bad hair day. I took it back today they changed the power
supply, and i asked them what will happen if the m/b and processor, along
with the 2 cd writers, graphics 2d and 3d in it are frazzled and they said
"Nothing to do with us, not our fault"
let us know how you get on
