Hard drives do hum/buzz though secured or not. If you unplugged them it will stop. Not sure what you can do as i haven't been able to stop it. The cables for the drives might be pushed against the case.
I guess some cases are more prone to it.

Monitor is worth £180
Keyboard and mouse are worth £120
£400 for that system is a pretty good deal (if you remove them on the customise screen they it doesn't give you their full value back though). PSU is branded (albeit only 450W ).
The £269 Black Hole is also fairly interesting as a low end gaming PC although not listing the PSU is a bit disappointing given it's a system building site, suggests no wiggle room for upgrading the GPU.
*edit*
zen123Can a better graphics card be added if I wanted to upgrade?
You can upgrade by selecting customize.

btc-ukMBP Retina is 2560x1600, which is quite a resolution increase over … MBP Retina is 2560x1600, which is quite a resolution increase over 1920x1200 (which I am assuming is what you meant, as there's no such thing as 1900x1200). Current MacBook Air's are 1366x768 for the 11.6" model, and 1440x900 for the 13.3" model.As for how long they'll last, that varies depending on the battery. If the machine is optimised for low power consumption, etc.The 11.6" Air lasts around the same daily battery life (9 hours when in use) as the 13.3" Retina MacBook Pro.
Be careful on pixel resolution comparisons. Up to 1920x1080 and you get more on the screen -> good.
Beyond 1920x1080, the OS will scale and use more of the pixels to give, for example, better looking fonts. In effect a 2560x1600 may appear to have the same resolution as a 1280x800 screen. You can fiddle but you need to determine, with your own eyesight, how you like this. You have to go to a shop eg apple store and pcworld/currys and look at the screens. Your phone will have super high resolution (1280x720 or above) on a 4-5+" screen and gives a sense of what a 2560x1600 or above screen will look like (ie you can hardly notice the difference in terms of amount of text, but your eyes may determine a better quality).
2560x1600 and above is a bit of a nightmare - the pixel comparison no longer works and you can look at the actual screen size or pixels-per-inch (ppi), but bigger ppi doesnt mean "better". For web browsing - most of this doesnt matter. To programmers and video/image editing people, it makes a big difference.
Wenttoabetterplace that surface pro certainly is impressive
I imagine as they become more mainstream they could reduce in price and give apple a run for its money.

And it's a far better laptop than the one in this deal too. However, if you aren't going to do any gaming on it, then you may have wasted your money a little bit, and gone too high in terms of specs.

Having done quite a bit of research I'd say this laptop is a great deal but definitely add £63 option to go for the far superior i7-4710MQ processor.
As stated above the GTX 860M is a great value gpu and should play most high end games now however it's at it's limit. Beware though their is little future proofing if you like games to be played at the highest settings, in 2 years time you will be looking for a new laptop.
For most people who like playing the latest games but can lower down the settings if need be then this is a good spec at almost the cheapest price you will find.

Now suspended, but yeah this is good advice. If you are going to own a desktop, building your own is a great way to understand what is in your PC. It will help you maintain and upgrade in the long run. Head over to Overclockers UK for build guides (they are great), and I agree with the positive comments on Win 8. I love this OS, it takes a little getting used to but if you are prepared to learn it is a great OS.
In terms of OS pricing, you can get an activation key for Win 8 for less than £15 from G2A.com. I have used them myself and they work fine. You can download an .ISO to install from easily and legally and it really helps cut the cost of a new system build.
I would always advise going with the best CPU and motherboard combo you can afford. The graphics card is important, but the tech is moving so fast right now that you can upgrade this in a year or 2 and see huge performance jumps. It is so much easier to upgrade a GPU than a CPU. Some of the 7 series Nvida cards are going dirt cheap right now. £140 for a GTX 760 will keep you going for a while, if you look around on ebay you might be able to pick something better up for less. I've never had a bad Nvidia card from ebay, be wary of getting AMD cards 2nd hand though since coin mining rigs prefer them and they can easily be knackered.

I voted Hot because I appreciate that, alas, not everyone wants to build their own and Dino are one of the better builders out there, in terms of allowing you to customise, allowing you to choose which components you want. Dell used to be much better at that than they are now, but even if Dell was as Dell of old, I can't remember Dell, or many of the present day ebay deals, allowing you to choose which power supply you want.
Keep in mind that commercial system builders predominantly use 'OEM' versions of components which, when bought in bulk, save them money and come with a limited one year warranty as standard, whereas we are usually buying full 'retail box' components from ebuyer and Amozon, etc, which come in boxes with all of the little extras, driver DVDs, instructions manuals, etc, and in some cases longer warranties.
But if there is a point to be made, here, it's surely that system builders should pass those savings on to their customers if they would rather not see people building their own rigs.
But if there is a point to be made, here, it's surely that system builders should pass those savings on to their customers if they would rather not see people building their own rigs.
Agreed, would rather build it yourself that way you get your pick of RAM and PSU. Warranty is nice but I'd rather take my chances and put the money towards a K variant i5. Much more future proof, just OC and it's good for well past its shelf life.
£500.27 for parts.
So you're paying £40 for them to build it and fix it throughout the 3 years - this isn't bad, but this never would have been £599, so if I were you I wouldn't give your money to a company who blatantly lies like that
This is worrying, since pretty much all of these parts are covered by a 2-3 year warranty. Having parts covered for only the first year makes it look like they will charge you to replace them after that, while they have them replaced with the manufacturer for free. Systems that charge a "build cost" of 100 usually include 3 years parts and labour. Again, doubt it ever would have been £599 and if it was, that is daylight robbery Avoid.

A friend wanted a basic Windows7 desktop and I suggested the Dino (good warranty for the price) but they opted for the smaller Dell. Shame.

i7 2600k is better than 3570k,
firstly, it can achieve higher speeds in overclocking , secondly it has got 8 threads instead of just 4 + has bigger cache and thirdly TDP of 95W vs 77W is negligible.

Op should read more about graphic cards nowadays. Currys/PC world had ASUS 6770 for £50 ish. And this one is unbranded?
He clearly means the 6850. It's miles better than this card for the same price.
A 6950 is more than double the price of this mate.
liamm123Not a terrible price for the card, but a HD6950 scores 50% higher than it … Not a terrible price for the card, but a HD6950 scores 50% higher than it on that website you gave and it can be had for a very similar price.
Sure you don't mean the 6850?

Are these bundles pre-assembled or is the CPU just checked that it will OC to that level?
It's a lot of money for some PC components, but I have to say this is just about the best kit you can get right now.
Quite decent.
Hot from me.
But I have an AMD 1090t so don't need it, really.

tankukI emailed them to find out what was happening and they said they sent me … I emailed them to find out what was happening and they said they sent me an email saying that I was getting a refurbished one but it was no were to be seen. So I cancelled my order.
They told me the same, I never got email but the left a message on answer phone.
I don't recommend this company one bit at all. In fact I'm tempted to cancel the order completely.
They phoned and left a message saying to ring them back regarding SSD as its important. I wonder what there going to tell me, not phoned them yet.
Is it still worth getting if its refurbished? Shall I try and ask for reduction!

Cro_BaronI didn't get an email saying there refurb, plus my order says processed … I didn't get an email saying there refurb, plus my order says processed now online!
If its brand new, then there should be a 2.5' to 3.5' adaptor in the box.
they might have had some that weren't refurbished... might be lucky
you should get a email confirming delivery tho

Purchased two computers from Dino PC. Had no problems with the retailer and has good reviews.
Seems a good price but add £8 for delivery, never heard of retailer and site seems horribly slow and basic. was going to add heat, but really not sure about this retailer. And what on earth is 'original ram'?

Maybe he had a bad experience, people i know hav'nt.
vir3usYh sorry its this one … Yh sorry its this one http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/Duke-AMD-955-93p757.htm my dad had no problem when he bought his, his thinking about getting a new one from here as its a good price.
He said bad customer service, in other words, if there is a problem, you'll be in the gutter. He wasn't complaining about the quality of the components.

This company must have the worst customer service going at the moment, I bought this same spec PC in November it was delivered and was faulty, after 2 months of emails and leaving answer phone message " which nobody ever returns" I was refunded my £548 only yesterday, their prices may be cheap but so is the customer service.
A link direct to the machine that you are listing here, I just had a look & cant find the one you have listed?
