Harris Technology holds all the Acers

Could be a winning hand.

Another customised PC service has arisen in Australia, joining the ranks of Dell and Pioneer Computers, this time under the auspices of Harris Technology. At the moment you can choose from one of three base systems and then customise from there. You can then pick up the PC from a local Harris Technology, or have it delivered within five to 10 business days.

The configuration system is reasonably robust, allowing the user to choose operating systems, CPU, RAM, hard drive, warranty details and more. At this time the three base offerings are definitely SMB focused, consisting of two mid-tower and one small form factor solution. One of the mid tower options though, the Veriton 7900 series, could definitely be specced up to suit the mainstream consumer with little fuss.

We await with interest to see how the program develops.

Is acer just as dodgy as Dell? My uncle got a bargain-priced Dell Desktop but he's had so many problems that the technician had to come to his house and replace the WHOLE motherboard. Nearly all of my friends have told me that Dell desktops suck especially with their parts; they tell me, "Just stick with a Mac and run boot camp if you have to."

      We've got mixed feelings about the Eee Box, and nettops in general. You might as well buy a netbook and gain the bonus of portability.

    • Dell Studio Hybrid

      If you consider all of the options in the price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate its clever design and relatively powerful hardware.

      The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well — but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.

      We're still trying to work out who the target market for the highly expensive LT VAIO is. Design-crazed multimillionaires, perhaps.

      Despite the quad-core processor and 4GB RAM, the M3200 is still a budget PC. If you're a bit strapped for cash and looking for a general purpose desktop, this might be the one for you.
