    No not Porn sites. I mean web sites of (Legal) strictly computer parts sales with which you've had good customer service, products, low prices, and shipping & handling prices and process.

    www.newegg.com

    Australian sites NOT worth a look
    http://www.thediscshop.com.au/
    (this mob sold me a computer with half the parts missing, they provided them later when asked - but not a good idea to use such a sloppy company)

    Funny you say that, I've had nearly the reverse of your situation.

    Gamedude has been nothing but trouble, sure they are cheap but normally their service and after sales support is dismal at best. Anything I or friends have had to return have been a hassle.

    The Disc Shop has much better service in my experience and will match any of Gamedudes prices and will beat them if you press them. I got my computer built their and the hard drive failed so being still under warranty I took it back. 2 days later (across weekend) I had a bigger and faster hard drive installed.

    If anyone asks me for advice I always recommend TDS over GameDude.

    I agree but personally prefer
    http://www.computeralliance.com.au
    granted the prices are not always as cheap as TDS or gamedude
    but the sales people are friendly and actually attempt to help you

    Yeah, I wont step foot inside Gamedudes store, it is a poor setup, and usually involves a 45 minute wait to get to the front of the queue, but I have always had good service purchasing from their web site.

    I will use the Disc Shop at Maroochydore or Underwood, but after my experiences (the missing parts) with the Mansfield shop I wont go near the place. I generally dont return parts etc to the store I bought them from, I find the local service agent for the part - usually much better turn around and service than the computer shops, they usually want to charge you to test em or send them to the service agent anyway.

    Gotta build and upgrade to the best machine for downloading your porn, don't ya? Why do you think all the sites link to the porn? All the rest of the sites are help sites for the software and hardware troubleshooting.

    These are the four basic internet sites groups:

    Computer Parts
    Porn
    Computer Help Sites
    Gamer Sites

    viewing any other sites is like drinking caffine free, diet club soda. There's no purpose for it, it's all bland, and nobody really like it. If anyone is wondering, search sites fall under computer help sites.
