    I was looking at this and it seems like a great deal in fairness, but naturally, I'm curious if anyone's bought that stuff before. I think I read somewhere that it tends to be stuff they've a lot of stock of rather than any specific re-badged brand.

    Any thoughts appreciated.

    With regards to cases and power supplies it can be hit and miss. Not just one supplier either, can be a mixture between the likes of Atrix, Q-Tec, etc. Wouldn't bank on it being decent, a lot of reports of Dabs Value power supplies (individually and within case bundles) failing after several months, even with light use.

    The monitors are pretty good though, their 20" LCD at 137 euro is exceptional value - it's digimate and actually got decent reviews, so the fears of it becoming some obscure, rubbish brand are fairly unfounded.

    Their value video cards for Ati and Nvidia are usually Austek and inno3d respectively...

    I know an office that got 4 of those LCDs. One was DOA while the other three all have weird flickering pixels at the top of the screen. Also VGA only so you are kinda limited input wise.

    That case is a rip off of a Aplus Blockbuster BAW. Im pretty sure the blockbuster can be found for less as well and takes ATX PSUs.

    that monitor is great. bought a few a while back and cant complain at all. quick read times and they look the part. as for flickering, aint seen any yet!

    bad point as savemejebus said is your limited to vga only.
