Any help would be awesome my total would be between $800 - $900 not looking for any OS or software www.trademe.co.nz www.trademe.co.nz www.trademe.co.nz |

| 1184843 | 2011-03-10 01:30:00 | I would personally not buy a new PC off trademe. No mention is made of the brand/model of the PSU. Also, the warranty is hopeless - 18 months?? Most of the components in there will have a 3 year manufacturers warranty. And 12GHz CPU? Seriously, anyone who lists a PC with a 3GHz quad core as being a 12GHz shouldn't be trusted for a start. You're far better off getting someone like ComputerLounge to build you one. |

| 1184845 | 2011-03-10 02:31:00 | Trial Ware of W7, Well is possible - if you install W7 with out entering a Product key,it will run fine for 30 days or re arm it, and get 120 Days- then requires activation at which time you have to enter a product key, so I spose that can be classed as a Trial. OR install the trial version of W7 which is The enterprise version (technet.microsoft.com) 90 Days. Trouble is, with the enterprise version it has to be uninstalled when it runs out, as it wont downgrade to Home or even pro. |

| 1184849 | 2011-03-10 02:49:00 | None of them. For proper after sales service and a proper WARRANTY go to either Computerlounge or Playtech. These TM guys can't even get the specs right - 12Ghz CPU my ass. |
