I stopped buying pre-made PC's from companies after my experience with Tiny!

I bought a laptop from them, it broke three times, I send it back the first two times, then when it went the third time, I was back on the phone.

I got sent around in circles by the automatic call thingy, phone this number, then phone that number, next thing I knew, I was phoning the support number I phoned first, and £1.50 p/m, it wasnt cheap!

Peeved off, I thought I'd give it a few days, next thing I know, I read in the paper Tiny folded! The gits!

I knew I needed a new fan, so I asked a mate to fix it for me, he looked under the chassis of the laptop and the first words he said was 'you've been robbed mate'

Turns out that the fan fitted only had a maximum work life of 6 months! :/

I eventually sold it for £115 for spares, though, the damn thing cost me £1299 and I only had it a year!

That'll never, never happen to me ever again, if I want an uber PC, I'll build one myself, or buy a cheapish second hand one, upgrade it myself, and if it goes tits up, I'll not be fussed about throwing it in the bin!
