1350443 2013-08-02 20:12:00 forrest44, from another thread here is my suggestion:
For home use I build my own, but recently we bought a desktop for the business and I can recommend OnlineSale Computers. He (Jerry Lee) is on Trademe, has an excellent rating, has very competitive prices, had super communication with me and sent a custom built PC quickly. For a start have a look at this page here (onlinesale.co.nz). Make sure you get a USB 3.0 computer.

1350444 2013-08-04 03:47:00 Thanks Strommer that is the kind of advice I'm after

The PC has been in use for 10 years, it has a hyena power supply and if I recall correctly the caps on the mainboard are bulging, I'm surprised it has lasted this long to be honest. Definitely will be getting a new one.

Can anyone else recommend good stores which will build you a good cheap PC without skimping on the PSU and so forth?
Are Playtech and PBtech good choices?

1350445 2013-08-04 03:49:00 Also, when buying WIn7 OEM, do most stores enforce the rule where you have to buy a piece of hardware to go with it (thus fulfilling the OEM requirement)? forrest44 (754)

Yes however if you are purchasing parts from the sort of business you mentioned above or getting them to build a PC that pretty well covers the legal side of the transaction. I have never had problems with PB Tech and I have seen Playtech recommended by others.
