£899 gladiator??

[CwlHeddwyn]

I noticed you do a £799.99 rig and a £999.99 rig.

any chance of introducing a £899.99 rig?

Aria do allow you to swap out / customise certain parts... so might be worth a look at the £799 and specify which components you want to swap out for more expensive parts :)

I'm not an expert on computers but while looking at the £999.99 rig it doesn't seem to be much more powerful than the £799.99 rig, so I was wondering if aria could come up with a gladiator computer that £899.99 but was noticeably better than the £799.99 rig. I don't think the £999.99 is that powerful for the price.

Do Aria still do custom builds for a price? If so, we could spec you up something.

Oh yes, they most certainly do :D

It's 49.99 or there abouts if you want it built & clocked as well,
but it's well worth the added value as they do a stella job :thumb: (Well worth a beer or two)

But choose your weapon wisely - Citylink take exception to heavy cases with fragile front panels :lol:

Something like https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/ix1CaaY_28ZRZqfB97SnTA,, perhaps?

Or https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/z7vHsllLJnMre8htcC_LtQ,, if SLi's your thing.

And yuss, I have heard good things about Aria built comps.

Getting an accurate quote for a custom build is a difficult task, unless you email sales, but you don't want to be doing that every single time you change your mind on a component because you'll want a quote instantly, not the next day through email.

From my experience and knowledge asking for custom build quotes, you firstly need to add up all the components EXCLUDING vat. So if a CPU is £90 including VAT, and £80 excluding, use the latter. Once you've added up all the compoments, add on the £49 build charge, now you have the total unit price. Finally, add on 20% VAT of the total unit price and you should have a near enough spot on price.

So as an example without including all the required components:

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) - £136.46 exc. VAT
8GB Mushkin Blackline LV - £36.99 exc. VAT
System Labour Charge - £49.00

Total Unit Price = £222.45
20% VAT = £44.49
Total Price = £266.94

Apologizes to the sales team if this isn't 100% correct, this is just something i gathered from when i kept asking for quotes through email.

We do have an £899 rig but it's isn't geared for heavy gaming.
