Advantages: Simple to fit and well worth the price Disadvantages: None as yet
Neat small format motherboard that's perfect for a mini/multimedia PC. Easy to set up with and still has plenty of expansion options. Motherboard layout logical and sensible - no daft wire trailing over the processor or heat sinks. On-board graphics ideal to help keep costs down - VGA and DVI connections available, if you want this for gaming though a PCI slot is available for a better graphics card.
Built new Windows 7 system with this motherboard ... ...downloads.
Been tracking this motherboard for sometime as got good reviews in PC magazines, but found it hard to source - Pixmania only web site I found that stocked it (actually was in stock)
Overall this is a great fairly inexpensive PC component ideal for upgrading and well worth trying ...

Advantages: Sound, Video, Screen, Decent Headphones Disadvantages: Battery life is just average, no flash, no apps like on itouch
Good product with amazing screen and sound quality. Web browser is much better than expected but no flash player. Battery life is reasonable, about a day with music and an hour or so internet browsing, but charges very quickly which makes up for this. Lovely user interface which makes it fun to use. Noise cancelling works well when i used it on the bus. Video player is exceptional- very good contrast and can easily watch full length videos on it! ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Very poor customer service.
I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by Pixmania. My friend has one word for it; he described it as 'crap'. Customer service is awful. The delivery address was changed by Pixmania to the invoice address. Another delivery address, I did not enter, appeared on the database -violation of Data Protection Act. I took Pixmania 4 weeks to rearrange delivery. New delivery was confirmed but 4 days later the new instructions, issued on request ...

Advantages: Never received the product to comment Disadvantages: Product sounded good but never received it
Ordered PS3 through PayPal and waited for the 5 day delivery. Email said it had been dispatched. It was followed by another that said there was a logistical problem and there would be a delay of 24-48 hours. Waited another 10 days and got an email that said my request for a refund was being processed. Never made such a request as the DHL in an email link said my item was still at Lincoln depot and I was waiting for final delivery. At least I got ...

Advantages: Seeming low price Disadvantages: Not being able to deliver within commitied timeline. Delivery of broken goods. No customer service
I had terrible experience with Pixmania. I wonder why i didnt research all the feedback that is out there for that vendor. I ordered a 46 HDTV Sony on 13th of August, that was shiped 10 days later, arrived in 3 days with damage and missign parts (Tv stand scratched, missing screws to mount tv to stand, missing papers, missing the 2 bateries for remote). heres a link of the box documented by the logistic company - http://img504.imageshack.us/i/pixmaniasucks.jpg/

I got a confirming email that within 24h they will contact me. 3 days later a Pixmania staff called me and said that they will send new TV within the end of the week. Next week - 5 days later i receive an email saying that they will do an investigation for 20 days and i cant have my money back for that time.... Well it was documented by logistic company before ...

Unfortunately, I am unable to comment on the products ordered via the Pixmania website as they have failed to materialise!
I placed an order of 4 items on the 2nd Oct; 3 whiteware products and a camcorder. The reason for choosing Pixmania was the purported 2-3 day delivery time-frame. As I am going abroad tomorrow (13th Oct) I reasoned it was safe to assume that the products would be delivered and installed well before departure; not so.
Customer ... ...process but it is now too late to do this, even if I wanted to.
The excuse given by customer services today was that one of the items was out of stock and time was needed to amass the order. My beef is not so much with the polite staff on the phones but the fact that the issue of short product supply was not flagged up at the time of ordering; had it been, then I would have sought an alternative brand that WAS available.
I have been forced to reschedule ...

Advantages: Easy to use, lightweight, good quality image Disadvantages: None to speak of
I ordered this camcorder because I wanted something easy to use, lightweight and good quality image for web vieos, YouTube etc. The ability to use SD memory cards was also important so that they could be used for my other digital products and be easily transferred to my PC.
The Samsung SMX-F30 does all the above and exceeded my expectations for the price.
The only issue I had was with Pixmania who charged me £6 for delivery in 3-5 days but took ... ...expect any good Internet company to get your product to you within 3/4 days - especially when they advertise the fact that your product is in stock.and don't make it clear that delivery might be right on the limit of 5 days until it is even despatched. Seems many others have suffered the same with Pixmania so something to bare in mind when ordering from them. ...

Advantages: They did reply to my emails Disadvantages: Complete lack of delivery, Website shows "In Stock" when it's not
I ordered an LG TV for a birthday happening a week and a half later, presuming this would give me ample time to have it ready. The website said the item was "In Stock" so I clicked order and filled out all my details, fine. They took the money out of my bank a few days later.
A week later (after constantly checking the 'Order Tracking' page to see what was going on), and the TV was still "being prepared" for dispatch. I thought I'd email customer ... ...a few hours, which was very good and said they would enquire about the order at the warehouse and get back to me. I waited a day with no reply, so decided to follow my initial email up to ask if there had been any progress... the reply came back that after visiting the warehouse it was apparent that the item was, in fact, NOT in stock and, what's more, they didn't have a date for when it would be. I emailed them back and have told them to cancel ...

Advantages: handy if you like suprises.... by the time it is delivered - you will of forgotten ordering it! Disadvantages: paying for something and not getting to play with it is not fun!
I would love to be reviewing the product I ordered.... but I still have not got it! I selected the 3 day delivery option as I did not need it for 5 days - when I was due to leave the country. 10 days... TEN DAYS later, they finally dispatch it!!!! so to allow for 3 days delivery time now.. that will make 13 days! Thanks very very much. now I will have to convince someone to post it onto me overseas! I am sure they will post it alot sooner than pixmania ... ...I cannot convey how thoroughly dismayed I am at the unprofessionalism shown by this company. Needless to say I will never use them again. A courtesy e-mail would of gone a long way should they of wished to inform me of any delay due to shortfalls in stock, or staff laziness... whatever it was that delayed my much wanted item. ...

Pixmania is my opinion is the worst on line retailer I have ever had the displeasure of ordering from. Ordered a tv on 16 aug as showing in stock, debited credit card £700 17 Aug, 18 Aug received email stating out of stock. Received 3 different dates for the tv to come back in stock over the following 3 weeks in the end pixmania advised that tv would not be restocked however offered me the same tv from a different retailer but £100 more expensive. ... ...re order the new tv and pay the addtional costs which i disputed Customer services were less than helpful and were not completley honest in my opinon. In the end i emailed several execs and one of them actually got the ball rolling. I got the substitue tv at the price I originally paid,. I am expecting the tv to be delivered within the week which will be over one month from ordering and within a week of sending emails to the execs. ...

Pixmania provided very good service when I bought my camera from them. The website had enough information on it to help me with my purchase. While the site is easy to use, from a stylistic point, in my view, the logo colour scheme is a little garish on the eyes. However, price was my main concern - and I got exactly what I was looking for. Pros: 1. Their website was quite easy to navigate. 2. The ordering process was a doddle. 3. The price was the ... ...4. They emailed me when the goods were on their way. 5. The goods came well packed. Cons: 1. The system was slow between the order confirmation stage and dispatch stage - at least a couple of days.

Advantages: Cheap Prices Disadvantages: Complete lack of interest in customer support
On the 8th of August we ordered a Samsung 50" plasma tv, stand and Blue ray. The BlueRay came direct from another company with a couple of days. It took around a week for the TV and Stand to arrive. We opened the tv and found some polysterene sealed behind the screen, so we range them the following day to request an exchange. It took 10 days for the item to be collected, over a week to get back to Pixmania in France, then it sat in their store for ... ...told that it was still in transit until I threatened to call the police to investigate it going missing. Then low and behold it turned up in the warehouse in France. That was 4 days ago and the system is still not showing our new tv as being dispatched, which apparently is coming from Switzerland this time. So 5 weeks down the line, and £800 for a none existent tv on my credit card I still have an empty space in my living room and no delivery date. ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Absolutely appalling service
A WORD OF WARNING! Pixmania are, in my opinion, one of the most appalling companies I have ever come across. We bought a Samsung 1080-P8 DVD player from them. Their after sales service has been absolutely non-existent and, because they operate everything from France, if anything goes wrong with your product, be warned, you will have to send it back there. They will not even automatically pay for the cost of sending goods back - you have to pay out ... ...takes weeks to receive. I have now had my player returned on three occasions over the last 10 months and they still refuse to give me my money back despite the fact that it has never worked from day 1. All this for a £50 player. They will not return phonecalls, the staff receiving the calls have no immediate access to management ( which means that if you are unhappy with what they are offering you haveto wait for them to do a written report to their ...
