The staff at PC world are little more than badly trained teenagers, stay clear! as for the Zoo storm, apparently thay are pretty poor, especially the build quality. Plus, they have dodgy chargers - rubbish keyboards.

The last time we tried to buy something from PC world we left after the
security staff were extremely rude and objected to us physically handling
the laptops on display. when we asked for the manager he told us that if we
want him we should find him ourselves. And i've heard their staff aren't
exactly up to scratch on what their products do or are capable of. but that
just my experience.

Hi,
The thing to bare in mind is always after-sales-support. How do you get the machine back to them? probably you paying, you finding a large enough box, you making sure it's boxed securely and doesn't' get damaged in transit. The company will ship it back to you in 1 to 2 working weeks.
I know the machines from these companies that deal exclusively online are very attractive with their specs but that's only one part of the "New computer hunt process".
Have you considered PC World? It's very very hard to beat their specs, (if you shop around), especially when you combine that with their after-sales-support. They'll either send an engineer to your house, Parcel Force to pick the unit up, or if you live close enough you can offer to bring it to the Tech Guys in-store. The max turn-around I've had for a Motherboard replacement on a Desktop was 3 days, from drop off to pick-up. My local PC World is very good at support.
BTW. I would not buy components/peripherals from PC World as the retail price is too high. I treat these like convenience items, in say a local Spar. 

Regards,
Barry.

From what I've seen on Ebuyer etc, they produce a lot of machines
which don't have an OS pre-installed; this, in my opinion
substantially takes down the price of, so that you spend more on the
component-side of things.
