Urgent Opinion on system

[Stuart]

Do YOU know what graphics comes with it?

Presumably, nothing.

The fact that it says "No onboard VGA" implies "supply your own graphics card."

Have all your guys experiences with pczone been that bad? I live in pinetown so I go there quite a bit. I wouldn't suggest a complete setup coz they use budget parts and any of us knowing anything about a pc would want some good components in it. But all their other parts are sealed and packaged so it as good as buying from your favourite retailer. But you guys have had problems with warranty issues? Iv never had a problem with that I just say its broken,I want a new one. And after testing it they give me a new one.
Any one of us are bound to know more than those floor assistants, so asking them for help or an opinion is a waste of time haha. But a lot of the time pczone gives me the best price so I just go there

everything i've ever purchased from them has died within 6-8 months... everything... GPU, hard drive, you name it.. bzzt... then you get to schlep back in there to get the run around and wait for replacement...

their product is crud... pure and simple... if you're looking for cheap and disposable yes, if you're looking for low maintenance, no..

See, I'm not questioning the fact that some of you have had these experiences, I just don't understand how. What is the difference between the same product bought from PCZone (or any other place with a similar reputation) and somewhere else?

[Slimshaedy]

Exactly my point Kalster. For example take my sapphire 6870. I bought it from pc zone who has their own suppliers. Or I could buy from prophecy who has their own suppliers. At the end of the day that gpu is exactly the same whether I buy it from pczone or prophecy. Its packaged in the same box,fully factory sealed.

not just me... a number of family members as well... :/ a pattern is a pattern, regardless of personal convictions...

the difference is in the source... their products are grey imports for the most part which means zero QC in supply chain and the makro stunt of resealing doge parts in the hopes they may stick on sell through the next time around...

Ah. Do you have any first-hand knowledge of this? If this were true, then they definitely deserve being derided, along with places like HiFi Corporation that have similar MOs.
