Guest samlee Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Just trying to decide what to take. Will our home PC work in OZ or shall we leave it behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sunshine Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi Samlee As I type I am using an English PC so that kinda answers your question . Seriously though the movers just unplugged it, packed it up and then we unpacked it and plugged it in, the other end. Easy as. And our PC is a bit of a dinosaur with many different parts so no worries! Sunshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dominic Wood Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Someone told me that Computers are more expensive in Aus than back in UK. Our machine is pre-war and we were thinking of buying a new one, but decided to wait til we get over. Does anyone over if computers are cheaper or more expensive. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynniep Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I don't think they're more expensive. If anything they seem cheaper - but that might just be because I'm a little out of touch since I the last time I bought a pc in the UK it was 1995! Have a look at the aussie sites as examples: http://www.dell.com.au, http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront, http://www.digitalcity.net.au/ you may find Im wrong!

Guest ABCDiamond Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 How does this computer at Target compare: http://www.target.com.au/html/catalogue2726/2726e16.htm CPU is a VIA 2,000+ 800mhz 256mb Ram 40Gb HDD CD Writer/DVD Player 17" Monitor With XP loaded $599.00 (about £255) (Looks like it has a printer included, but doesn't say so ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest choobs Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 How does this computer at Target compare:http://www.target.com.au/html/catalogue2726/2726e16.htm CPU is a VIA 2,000+ 800mhz 256mb Ram 40Gb HDD CD Writer/DVD Player 17" Monitor With XP loaded $599.00 (about £255) (Looks like it has a printer included, but doesn't say so ? ) Computers are my living and it's vital that I have access to one as soon as I get to Oz. As a result, I've spent 500 quid on a fairly good Dell laptop. My intention is to move everything off the desktop accounts and sell the desktops in the UK and take the laptop on the flight. This will give me quick access to the net in Oz, which will be particularly helpful when it comes to finding a house, finding jobs, etc, all of which needs to be done before our shipped furniture arrives. Worth thinking about.... Cheers Choobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
