    Default PC Needed

    Ok...my son lives in Brisbane. Anyone here recommend a computer store that will build or have a cheap new mid tower PC that he can buy?

    Austech member Philquad built his last one but it has finally given up the ghost.

    He insists on something new. He just needs it for basic streaming and internet access. His TV is the monitor, so hdmi is required.

    I would build one for him, but I live in Canberra, and I can't row a boat up there atm even if I had the time.

    Cheers

    Thanks wotnot. I have dealt with Gamedude for components in the distant past. I spoke to them and they appear to have what he needs.

    Cheers

    I've dealt with MSY down here, but you do need to know what you want because they did not seem too keen to provide info.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Ready for pickup from Gamedude in less than 24hrs. As I said, I used to buy components from them in the past and they were always OK.

    He'll pick it up today, so heres hoping....

    I first started buying from them when they had that dinky little shop over at Rochedale about 20years ago, boxes of stuff everywhere, line of customers stretching out the front door ; you gotta be doing something right to survive this long with a good name =)
