I've had my computer (Gladiator Proteus Home Partner - £188, inc p&p) for about a month now. I bought it through aria.co.uk and I must say that I'm absolutely delighted with it. It runs well (even before I upgraded with an extra 2gb of ram), it has a good case, it appears to be well cooled, the components are fine and it was a superb price. Their customer service is excellent - I had to phone about 3 times and each time the guy was really helpful and very knowledgeable.

I will certainly buy from these people again. Their kit is superb value for money. In fact, I just ordered a graphics card yesterday and am waiting for it to arrive. Their delivery times are also excellent - and the cost of delivery of the pc ( £7.95 for the barebones pc with no monitor, keyboard or speakers) was nothing short of amazing. Well done Gladiator - you get top marks from me.Geoff

After sending me the wrong graphics card, they issued an RMA. I sent it back at my own expense, then they took 18months!!! To issue a refund.

I also had a power supply that blew up. Rather than waiting 2ish weeks to get a replacement (while I sent it back and they checked that it was really broken), they agreed to send the replacement in advance as long as I paid for it (to be refunded if my supply was really broken).

1year later, they still haven't processed the refund. At this point, when I complained (again) they decided that they had sent a better power supply as the replacement compared to the one they had originally provided which blew up, so I would have to pay the price difference (about 50)!!!

They have an excellent range to choose from, and an excellent service towards their customers. They dealt with my issues fairly rapidly. I advise anyone within the UK, or even abroad to look into Gladiator Computers if they're looking for an excellent service and good value for money.

Searched the internet for a computer system for my children. Decided to pay around £500. A number of companies appeared to have what I wanted but when I searched for information about the companies they seemed to have a lot of dissatisfied customers, except Gladiator Computers. So I ordered a system from them on Monday afternoon but wanted a few upgrades so couldn't have the standard next day delivery (delivery was only £10 too!) but it arrived on Wednesday! Had a couple of small problems e.g. language was set to USA and there was a conflict of software running the DVD rom. They were very helpful on the both occasions when I rang and didn't treat me as an imbecile (although I am slightly when it comes to computers). I have recommended them to anyone who has mentioned buying a new computer I am so pleased.

We purchased a PC package from Gladiator Computers 2 months ago, and we have been very happy with the product so far. It is of good quality. The ordering and delivery process was painless. They have even telephoned to check that all is well. I have just recommended them to my Mum, so they must be good.

I purchased a Trident base unit from Gladiator Computers, with an upgrade to the Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe, and a better PSU.

Gladiator said no problems. The motherboard was out of stock for a while, but I was told of this right from the start.

When the motherboard came in stock, the base unit was built and it arrived the same week, with all the drivers and the manuals.

I couldn't be any more pleased than I am.

Gladiator Computers is a good place to buy from.

I ordered the Gladiator Trident2 64 3500 PC System with sli mobo upgrade from Gladiator Computers late in the evening on December 16th. It arrived as stated on December 21st.

For a pre-Christmas build and delivery, I was a little worried, but hey it arrived exactly on time. And quickly too for the time of year.

It was very easy to install everything. The supplied discs; mobo, graphics, DVD burn, play.. etc. I was pleased with.

here was only one slight problem. The neon light (bulb) gave up after 2 days, but hey, not a problem really, as the system is excellent and well worth the money.

I bought one of Gladiator Computers (www.gladiatorcomputers.co.uk) mid-range desktop computers along with the OS. It arrived promptly with the OS and all relevant software already installed, but with installation CDs and all relevant licences and instruction manuals included. The unit worked fine from first switch on and has given no problems in six months of use. The fan is a little loud, but quieter options were available at time of purchase. No negative points noted. I'm very pleased with the performance and appearance of the unit.

Gladiator Computers - I have bought several items off of this company over the past year or so, ranging from the guts of a whole system to a graphics card upgrade and more ram. They're always handy on the phone, even when I'm asking about overclocking ratio's and pin connections. I have no problems with pointing people towards their site and recommending you to browse.
