Novatech are very windows centric (web wise) but still sell machines without
the windows tax. However they no longer mention linux - much.
Recently bought one of thier AMD x86_64 2core barebones and my only regret was
not waiting a week for the quad core box (more memory etc) that was on offer
for <40KP more :-(
Also unlike any other computer shop I have visited yet (female, blond) the sales
suit checked I really wanted to buy an extra PSU with the barebones system
explaining it already has one the same size installed - PSU was for my Pauls
desktop. Nice - most other computer shops seem to try and sell you any "extra"
they can.
