If half what I`ve heard about Time PCs is true, buy at your own peril!

Could be a very costly saving using Time.

If the Time PC works fine then great.
If you have a fault or need support then you may live to regret your purchase.

Ha! Three messages all posted within 2 minutes of each other, all saying much the same viz Time`s dodgy reliability. Tells its own story, I think!

I have heard bad things about Time BUT, does it have all of the Fire wire & video connections that the Aldi Had

All I`ve heard about either Tiny or Time machines is that you only ever buy one once.

If not Time or Tiny, where`s best to look for a PC? (asks the missus)

This offer came out about 4 months after the last one. After I bought the last one I spoke with Aldi customer services & they said they were going into this type of thing in a bigger way. I would wait.

Two points here.
1. I bought my PC from Time I have had only one problem with it which was my own fault and have had no trouble getting it sorted. The customer helpline was very helpful and they repaired it quickly I have no complaints. I guess I must be lucky. However you have to know whats what when you talk to them they dont seem to like disclosing much information when youre trying to order things.
2. The Time deal isnt all its made out to be yes its £699 for the base unit however add to that the £50 postage and then if you want the re-installation disk another £50 then its losing its appeal, I`d wait for Aldis too.
