Welcome to The Cheap Computer Hardware Guide

Whenever it comes time to upgrade or even to repair your home PC, there is always that heartsinking moment when you know you'll be spending the next week online researching reviews, recommendations and gripes.

Until now this has been the only way of giving yourself some reassurance that the hardware you buy will be:
1. Capable of doing the job you require of it.
2. Will do the job well, and not struggle.
3. Will be reliable in use and not introduce a mass of new incompatibilities into your system.
4. Giving you good value for money.

That's what I'm here for: in this blog and at Cheap Computer 101 I'll be giving you my unbiased view of what works and what doesn't and hardware that represents good value and that to be avoided.

Follow my advice, or combine it with other information you find on the web, and you'll be sure of getting the best bang for your buck.

Everything I recommend is from 20 years of experience in computer hardware and is equipment I've used personally and found to be exceptional in terms of performance and value.

I look forward to being of help to you.
