My problem is that I bought my first PC from PC World, and after a couple of years I found out why buying from the high street is not necessarily the best policy.

I was stuck with an onboard 4mb video card and no agp slots, so I couldn't install a new graphics card. I also had onboard sound which was ok, but would have been better if it had not been to allow for upgrades.

I only had 2 usb ports as well, so had to buy a hub after a couple of years.

With regard to Tiny and Time I have heard bad stories about build quality and problems with after sales when the faults start to appear.
