Beware of CCLComputers

["Neil Fuller" <neil@xxxxxxx>]

All

Maybe a little OT but I know a few of you already have these machines and
others are contemplating buying one so take heed when dealing with CCL
Computers . . . 

CCL Computers are currently advertising Shuttle based PCs (the neat little
jobbies about the size of a large shoe box) on the back page of Computer
Shopper . 

Thinking that this would be an ideal unit to go in the living room (they
are quiet as well as being small) to use as a web browser, DVD player etc
etc, I purchased one of their E-station X-20 machines.

It's advertised as having TV out so it's no problem to hook it up to the TV
for use as a DVD player and games machine. I also confirmed that fact when
I placed the order by phone.

However, it turns out that the machine _does not_ have TV out. I called
CCL. Their response was that they could -

"sell me a Video card (at 10% discount - wow!) but that was all they
could do - Oh, by the way, the small print does say E&OE"

So, if you do buy one of these PC's, beware, it does not come with TV out
and CCL will hide behind the small print for any problems.

Shame really - I was going to buy 2 more from them but I shall go elsewhere
now.

Cheers

Neil
