173746 2003-09-08 02:05:00 It seems that the PC Company has ceased trading. Just rang their 0508 number and got the message that they have stopped trading. Ferris (1087)

173749 2003-09-08 02:57:00 Despite some critisism of the PC Co, some no doubt justified, it is sad to see a manufacturer, and a NZ one at that, in strife. It will be even sadder for the Purchasers of PC Co machines if the company does not survive.

173750 2003-09-08 03:08:00 I was in Wellington yesterday and went into Computer City on Tory Street. They are closing down although it may be for similar or different reasons. Dolby Digital (160)
173751 2003-09-08 03:26:00 They were/are trying to get the warehouse to stock there product.

Seems talks have stalled and the PC company are going to fold unless they can score a deal.

Imo selling the products thru a store like the warehouse may keep them afloat for a little extra longer but would just put off the demise by a few months....along with cutting even further into the profit and creating head aches for the warehouse.


After all,why have sales slowed to such an extent?....due to getting a bad reputation maybe?....There comment that 200w psu's were fine because they would just cover any failure themselves seems to me to be the height of stupidity,saving a few cents to get sales when its only going to cost them hundreds for each defective machine futher down the line....

173753 2003-09-08 06:44:00 IMHO this is bad news for everyone. Especially computer buyers. Watch the price of all computers (pre-built and custom) go up in price. I believe like them or loath them, the PCCompany was keeping computers at a competitive price. Holy Cow (4475)

The thing is , who is going to step into the "lets bash em up" breech. Maybe Telecom? :D
