desktop option pulled all the stops out for us in 2007.

We initially ordered 8 machines of which we used to sell tickets for the World Cup in 2007. These machines were damaged by localised flooding and desktop option built another 8 and delivered them in time for us to complete our ticket sales.

desktop option is highly recommended.

Hi Thomas,

Just wanted to write a note to say thank you for looking after a friend of mine with regards to the hard-drive & graphics card sold to him at an extremely good price and the after-sales service provided. Richard had only just moved up to Nottingham and needed a few bits for his pc and I remembered that you are actually based up there. All I've heard from him is how well he was treated as a customer, how good the price was and how you even helped him by providing a dongle for the DVI outlet of his new graphics card to his analogue monitor.

People have a tendancy only to write when they have something to complain about, I would like to counter that with a thank you email for the help you've given when I bought my pc (2 years ago), when my colleague Everton Edwards bought his pc (last year august) and when my friend Richard bought his components earlier on in the month. The assistance and after-sales care (along with the price) were brilliant. It's always good when your mates take note of your recommendations and it turns out really well.

Many Thanks
Andre Hunte

Dear all at desktop option,

Just wanted to let you all know that the new rig is running perfectly and also to say a very big thank you. I can honestly say that the sevice provided has been excellent and i will defintely recommend you to anyone i know of who is looking to buy a new machine. I'll also be posting good, detailed reviews in a few forums as there are not enough of them online. Feel free to use the content of this mail on the site.

Yours thankfully,

I realised after I sent the email that I needed to setup the tuner card with Windows Media Centre. Once I did that, everything seems to be functional.

Performance of the PC is as I had hoped - very good and relatively painless in setting up Vista to how I wanted it.

For the TV side, I still need to spend a bit more time understanding how to set everything up to get the optimum performance, but it all looks promising.

Regards

Hi Tom,

Just like to send a BIG thank to you and your colleagues, for the recent PC I purchase for my son this Chrimbo. It’s all up and running fine and now neatly wrapped up ready for the big day. (He’s going to be soooo pleased!)

This is the 2nd PC system I’ve ordered from you and I’ve got to admit I’ll be back for a third (I’ve got itchy feet now my son’s base unit is way better than mine…LOL). Swift delivery, human troubleshooting & support (in the past), bags of extra’s and unbeatable prices, rightly earn you a productive year and I am extremely grateful for your excellent services.

Once again Tom, many thanks and I look forward to using your services again in the New Year.

Regards

Dave Rimmington

The pc is an absolute beast, really fast, reliable, everything inside is quality and they give you a load of freebies and a game too. Its cheap an awesome bit of kit, i would recommend desktop option, after some of the horrors ive been through with company's like Dell and Mesh, desktop option are the way to go.

They have a pretty decent customer service too always willing to help.

desktop option are a great pc company and i would recommend them to anyone, especially gamers.

Thanks James!

Dear Tom and the desktop option Team

I felt it right and proper to offer some feedback on my experience of buying a new computer from desktop option.

Having had a previously poor experience of buying my last computer from an internet dealer I was a little wary of doing the same thing again. I researched several custom build computer companies - big and small until I hit a recommendation on a PC Advisor Forum where I came upon the name Tom Muir who seemed genuinely keen to meet customer's requirements and expectations whilst being realistic and honest enough to admit that things don't always go to plan and that problems sometimes need sorting out.

This approach appealed to me and I contacted desktop option, first making some general and tentative enquiries.The replies impressed me and soon I was able to make some specific requests for the kind of computer I wanted to be built.The answers I got both on the live 'chat session' and on the phone were so helpful. Tom's patience never seemed to run out! Needless to say, I placed an order for a base unit costing around £765 with several extras and on Sept 29th 2007, within thequoted 7 working days, received the 'beast' So far - it seems to be just the business.

desktop option have been an excellent company to deal with. Communication and advice 10/10 Value 10/10 Quality of build - as seen so

far - might also receive 10/10.

Best wishes

If you ever need a pc custom built dont look elsewhere. Ordered mine on tuesday arrived monday. Excellent customer service (Asked so many questions and all of them got answered even when they were really busy). Pc is a superbly manufactured machine with the highest quality parts. My only gripe is that it is a bit big but if you have 2 massive ati hd2900 gpu's it aint gonna get smaller than this. Thankyou guys will hope to do business in the future.

I recently ordered a new system from www.desktop option.co.uk and it was great value, by far the cheapest than any other site. Custom built from the ground up which was a major upgrade over my last machine. Plays games in max resolution with full settings no framerate loss. Total cost was £315 which would have cost me £500+ elsewhere. Definitely recommended.

Thankyou I have finally recieved my replacement keyboard.
This aside I just wanted to let www.desktop option.co.uk know that I am really pleased with the system you built for me.
The attention to detail, eg Setting up an account in XP with my name, is very impressive.
Also when you phone www.desktop option.co.uk speaking to a person who has knowledge of PC's and is helpful is very reassuring and being able to track the progress of your system online is a great service.
Thanks again

Hi Everyone,

I have decided to write a final review on www.desktop option.co.uk due to lack of information on this company on the net before i bought from them just over a week ago.

I found the company on google whilst searching for base units as this is what i wanted, I went to the page and found a lovely looking website which was simple and proffesional. This simplicity was also carried on through navigation of the site, customising the pc i wanted and the quick and easy ordering process.
I was able to either ring or talk to people at the company on their live chat section in the top right hand corner of their site. They answered all my questions and were always helpfull.
I would just like to also point out that these computers are the best value i have seen anywhere, you also get a 5 year warranty with most systems and they dont use cheap components.
I ordered my pc over the phone which was good because the operator made sure i was getting the best for my money and the best setup.
After placing my order i still had questions and these were answered quickly and politely.
I was able to track my order being built and also when it had been dispatched. I was able to contact www.desktop option.co.uk and get the courier consignment number so i could further check the delivery process on the courier website.
I recieved my pc yesterday afternoon and i could not be happier with my purchase and the company.
If you need a pc for anything these people can cater for it, from the basic systems right up to the high end gaming ones. I would choose these people again and again and will be recommending them to my friends and family.

Thank You www.desktop option.co.uk

I recently purchased a PC from www.desktop option.co.uk, and it is superb. It is a amazing machine (AMD 5200, 2GB RAM, Vista) all for under £500.

I ordered online and got a phone call and the guy went through my order with me and gave me some suggestions so that the computer would be better suited to what I needed.

I only had one problem with them, the mouse was faulty, but I sent it back and they sent me a new one for free. I can reccomend them to everyone. I'm a student and so I shopped around everywhere for the best deal, and they were the cheapest. Customer service is also good.

Just to say, I can't believe the speed of delivery - we spoke late on Wednesday about the wrong number on my credit card, and the PC arrived on Friday morning. It's a (surprise) birthday present for no. 2 son, and he & I spent today setting it up - triffic bit of kit!

Thanks for setting up AVG, Adaware and Open Office etc. and keyboard & XP in UK English - bonus. Nice attention to detail.

Although we haven't spent a huge amount of cash on this system, it does all we want from it, and the monitor, although basic, has a great picture - we use this brand at the office, and we have always been impressed with them
Thanks a lot for the (so far!) great service.

Hiya everyone at www.desktop option.co.uk. Ordered a PC for my daughter a week before Christmas, it arrived the Friday before you must have pulled out all the stops many thanks. The customer support was great, they were quick to call us tell us of parts that weren’t in stock and talk about alternatives. The PC is great better spec than the one bought a couple of years ago and cheaper. I’ll be coming back to them if my son asks for a PC for his birthday and I’ll recommend them to my dad who’s got an old 1 GIG pc.

Many thanks again, Mark n Janice Crosbie

Hi, just a little thanks to everyone at www.desktop option.co.uk, my new computer just arrived today, way before I expected it! I haven't got to grips with the computer itself yet as I'm waiting for my XP discs to arrive, but I've set up the 19" widescreen monitor on my old computer and its absolutly fantastic, the picture quality blows my other monitor out of the water! I'd just like to a big thanks for delivering so promptly, and for been so helpful on the phone.

Just a few words to express my thanks hope it's suitable for your customer feedback page


From the first time I spoke to Tom to up and beyond delivery it has been a real pleasure buying from www.desktop option.co.uk. With Toms help I now have a great gaming system and their tech knowledge is first class. The littles touchs such as installing all the bundled software and personalising XP to the customer was a nice surprise and overall other firms could learn a lot from them.


Again thanks

www.desktop option.co.uk has been a great company to buy from. The customer service has been great from the beginning, where they helped recommend the best pc for my money, through to the end. I shopped around and this was not only the cheapest but friendliest company i have found on the net. Thankyou Tom and everyone else for a great, smooth system and for the great and continued support for my pc.

There is one thing i feel could be improved though and that is the tracking system. Maybe there should be more stages "Being built" "Parts being bought in" "Needs Discussion" "Been built pending sending" things like that but apart from that its all good :).

Hi

I just wanted to say thank-you. The pc that I bought from yourselves is great. It does everything I need/want it to, and compared to my old laptop it’s over 100% better.

I also wanted to apologise for getting so “worried” I now know that I had no reason to, and if I ever decided to do computer shopping of any sort over the internet again it would probably be through you guys. Because of that I have already recommended you to a few people…

Again, many thanks…

All the best,

Andy.

Hi,

Just thought I'd drop you guys an email to say thanks for my truly amazing computer. I danced around the room like a 10 year old when I opened it and couldn't stop looking at it for a very long time. It runs every game I can think of on the highest settings. At last I don't have to worry about system specs on games...

Thanks for providing me with the best computer I have ever had.

I have just taken delivery of an AMD Athlon 64 PC from www.desktop option.co.uk and have been pleased to find it well built and according to spec. An added bonus has been that for the first time ever with a new PC I've found that all the Windows updates had been pre-installed. I've commissioned scores of PCs and am used to spending a great deal of time bringing the operating system up-to-date.

In looking for a new PC I wanted value for money and a system that I could customize to my requirements. At www.desktop option.co.uk, who I discovered recommended on a discussion forum, I found both of these things and the quality of the delivered machine has lived up to my expectations.

Just a quick e-mail to let you know that the computer you guys recently sorted out for me with the two graphics cards, new motherboard and power supply is absolute brilliant. The graphics and speed of the computer are amazing and when I play any games you don’t any jerking or interference it just runs smooth all the way through.

It’s the best computer I’ve ever bought.

Thanks again.
