[ILUG] Home build machines

[Gareth Eason]

	I've had excellent experience with aria.co.uk - I presume they should 
ship to Ireland. Give them a call and experience the luxury of talking 
to an actual person after a minimum of automated touch-tone recognition 
and being on hold. I've had to make a number of returns to them and 
they've always dealt with it excellently and in good time. Prices 
similar to dabs.com but not as huge a selection :-(

	I've found dabs.com very poor in the after-sales service and returns 
department. While they are cheap and have always despatched stuff to me 
in a timely fashion, I had over a month of nonsense trying to get them 
to replace a motherboard for me - and they charged me to return the 
faulty motherboard to them!

	Overclockers.co.uk have sent me some stuff as well - good prices and my 
order has been processed and sent out speedily - but I've not used them 
a lot and I've never returned anything to them, so I can't really 
comment with great authority.

	Hope this helps.

	Best regards,
	-->Gar
