Yesterday Richard bought one of those little Acer laptop things from pc world for £200 so today he decided we where going to go to SCAN in Horwich, has anyone ever been to this shop? i was gobsmacked at how cheap everything is in there, if you havent been i would recommend taking a look at their website and comparing prices from other shops with their things

Scan Computers UK: Computer Hardware - All

ok some of you may know other places that are cheaper, but i was astounded at some of the cheap prices

Just be prepared to join the queue if you do go

And you might have fun should you want to take something back with a not so straight forward fault.

I had a problem with one of the tech guys, he was not really interested in the fault I was explaining and his attitude was terrible for someone who deals with customers.

The guy who helped me the second time I went back was excellant and sorted the problem out - is turned out to be a poor quality motherboard in the end - 1st time I have had trouble with a Gigabyte board.

Go in the morning mid week, it is quieter then.

flashy · 02-09-2008, 19:39

we went at 1 and it was quiet

but apart from the queues you two think the shop is ok???

Neil · 02-09-2008, 19:42

Yes, as long as you don't have to return stuff. Don't get me wrong if you take back an MP3 player and it does not work they will replace it no problem. Mine was a CPU and Motherboard that were over heating. Were are talking board running up to 70 c and the CPU going above 100 c. The first guy was not really interested in finding out why.
