One of the things that was top of my list before coming to uni, was getting a new computer. Originally I thought a Laptop was the best way to go, the portability and the fact I would be able to use it on the train home were the main reasons for that, I knew the one I wanted too, it was a HP laptop I’d liked when I worked at John Lewis. It was about £1000 I think, so I had some saving to do. However, my best friend Jam, told me not to waste my money on a laptop, and to think more about a desktop. When I thought about it, I realised he was right. Portability? It will be on my desk 9/10, use on ... more

My experience of Aria is as follows - I had a gift voucher purchased for me by my previous employer when I moved on to another position. Unfortunately Aria addressed it for the employer's attention and not mine. The order specifically requested that it be sent to me (it was a gift voucher after all - the logic of this is obvious I'm sure).

I noticed they had a shop forum running and decided to register as a user, I was really pleasantly surprised with the amount of offers for normal users and regular users of their forums, competitions, RMA problems and general questions asked by the members. Everyone seemed so friendly! In fact in one of their ... more

Discovering online stores that offer value for money products as well as prompt customer service has become somewhat of a rarity these days. I am comfortable in saying that when dealing with Aria Technology you see the good and the bad sides they have to offer. Before making my purchases with Aria, I spent months studying the different online prices for certain pc components I would need to build my dream gaming machine with. After much research and consideration I found that Aria were cheaper if not on par with most online stores. Hence, the decision to place an order with Aria for certain ... more
