Anyone built a PC on Hardwareversand.de? Help please!

white_falcon

Hey guys, I've just built the following PC on www.hardwareversand.de - a german company. Need some help. Basically ordered the PC online, and it says:

Payment type: prepayment

Please use for credit transfer exclusively this account, even if you know further admits of accounts.

Remittee: hardwareversand.de GmbH Remittee account: XXXXXX
BLZ: XXXXXXXXXX
Financial institution: Deutsche Postbank AG Dortmund IBAN Nr.: DE 7344 0100 4607 3123 9469
SWIFTCode: PBNKDEFF
Amount: 1.942,82 EUR Intended purpose: XXXXXXXXXX
Please be appreciative of this restriction. We refer to the instance, that the procedure was automated therewith the transaction will be done as fast as can.

Does anyone know how I can do this - phoned them and they dont really speak much English at all, although I do know a few people that have bought through them and said they were good. I'm presuming that its a money transfer, but not too sure. Has anyone had any dealings with this company at all?

By the way PC I bought was:

Yeah go into the bank and ask to do a bank transfer to Germany. Just fill out the form. It takes about 3 or 4 days to go through.

Looks good, might be worth upping the ram to PC 6400 due to the low price difference, and you may run into problems running 4 gigs of ram on XP home. €35 for windows installation seems excessive. An decent aftermarket cooler would be a good idea for a Q6600. Fatality branded anything is usually a rip off.

Once you haven't paid you can cancel and order again if you want

I'm dunno about the cancellation, but once you haven't paid you have no worries. Just cancel over the phone.

32-bit operating systems and certain motherboards may have problems recognising 4 gigs of ram. It seems 64-bit OSs accept the 4 gigs of RAM easier (but not always!). I'm unsure of the specifics of this issue but a quick search on google will tell you.

Don't forget a decent cpu fan for the quad core, one of the decent scythe or zalmans from here will do nicely, just make sure it's socket 775 compatible

This 600W version of your PSU is only €5 more expensive.

You've left in the OS install for €35 so I assume you don't want to do this yourself, but that is expensive. Have you considered Vista 64 bit?

yea il buy a fan from komplett, cuz il b buying the monitor from them too. To be quite honest, i really really don't wanna go vista. Its just iv heard bad stories, and I know a fair few games dont even run on vista. I really dont mind the OS install - I have the money so id just like to receive the PC and open it up and use it out of the box to be honest.

Didntn realise the 600w was better - will go for that thanks. Have you had any dealings with that company before? I tried phoning them, but the lad i was talking to said he didn't speak much English, so i could barely ask how to pay...


EDIT: I was thinking about Vista, and I could get it actually and just install XP if Im having too many problems with it cuz i have a windows key

if you're going to run with 4gigs of ram, you will need a 64bit OS, XP 64bit or Vista 64bit. 32bit addressing will not be able to access the 4gigs of ram, with your graphics card, swap files etc you'll see it listed as roughly 2.5gigs of ram even though you'll see 4gigs listed in your bios. To save headaches, go with the 64bit OS. XP or vista is your choice (personally ive 64bit XP running on 3machines and no issues with games or anything like that. Only thing, you'll need a 32bit Internet explorer to download updates, 64bit XP comes with this anyways, dont know about vista) Hope this helps you.

not true ^^

vista has the ability to see 4gigabizzzles
