    Have u checked out the komplete website.

    www.komplett.ie

    It is the cheapest I've ever found.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 935 ✭✭✭Mixie


    I've done a fair bit of business with them in the last few months, and the only complaint I have would be that they took almost a month to test some PC parts. Other than that, I'm very happy with them :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭Spunog UIE


    have bought from them loads of times. Haven't had any problems.

    Marx are a good company to deal with, resonably priced, friendly and helpfull.

    But id you know anythign about putting PCs together or have a friend who does I'd recommend buying from komplett.ie cause you'd save a few quid and probably end up with a better rig.

    id be replaceing the G-card iwith a Geforce fx 5200 128meg

    i hope u realise the difference between a geforce 4mx 440 and the fx 5200 will be minimal and its not worthwhile to swap also the case is likely to be a cheap horrible thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,895 ✭✭✭bizmark


    ya i should of said i was considering getting a radion 9600 128 meg (seems much better)

    i wouldnt be 2 worryed about how the case looks to be honest as long as it hold,s together for a year or 2 lol


    and no i have no experiance with sticking together a pc from the bottom up ....... i have done most of the upgradeng on this one though...... new hard drive g-card cd rom ram

    thanks for your help btw it seem,s marx,s are a good company


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    deal with them every week, very friendly and fast delivery :) good luck with ur pc :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,895 ✭✭✭bizmark


    lol they are a nice company i sent them a email saying i wanted the 2700xp(and complaning that i couldnt pick 2 option upgrade.s i want the 2800xp barton MORE than worth the 55 euro upgrade for the extra speed ......... and they told me that if i waited a month or so (which i was going to do anyway) that the 2800xp could well be standered on the system and the price is likely to drop

    never had that happen before :D

    oh ya thanks Ruu :)

    El_MUERkO, I think you are spot on. I would tend to build rigs myself, but if I need a part (in a hurry) I find Marx very good like you say and also knowledgeable. Keep track of their weekly special as well, cause it can be good sometimes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,738 ✭✭✭BigEejit


    As was mentioned, keep an eye on the specials, I got some great stuff there. And one time I ordered two cables and they rang me up to make sure that i wanted both and that I hadnt made a mistake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭Spunog UIE


    i think they have a value club kinda scheme thing automatically. What i mean is for every few quid ya spend they give ya a discount value to use on future purchases. don't know if they are still doing this.

    I use komplett.ie for most things but marx are just as good and usually get my smaller stuff off them, they had lovely boxed lan packages(mini hub so cool) a while ago, and i got a nice volcano 9 heatsink and fan with led grill thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,471 ✭✭✭elexes


    dont forget www.elara.ie pritty gud them . ive delt with every company on this page but i would buy off elara or komplett.ie quicker then i would from marx . tho i have started to buy dvd+r's from them as they seem very gud value


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,895 ✭✭✭bizmark


    i wouldnt touch elarn with a barg pole
