Great guide... really useful!

Ordered my PC+SFX pad kit from autopia-carcare on Friday and ordered the transformer gear from screwfix this morning for a cost of £46. Should have it all by the end of the week. Cant wait to get my hands on it

Total cost of kit and transformer is somewhere in the region of £169 depending on exchange rates!

I'm pretty sure the PC is approx. 330 watts.

The transformer you've been advised to get, sounds like it could be similar to what a few of us UK Autopians have purchased. Mine is a 1000kva transformer so there's plenty of power on tap for the PC. I'd say the minium you should be looking at is around 750kva.

This is the transformer that I have...

Hi,

I am new to this forum, and have decided I would like to buy a pc... is a discount code still available? Can you also provide further information on the transformer, as the link to it is not working anymore... screwfix have moved the item.

Thanks,

Hi Steevo,

Thanks for the reply and the PM.

I have just placed an order with Autopia and also ordered a catalogue from Screwfix.

Thanks,

Afternoon chaps,
Looking to get a PC from Autopia, the thread seems to talk about a promotional code, is there a current one ?

Thanks and Regards

Thanks for the PM message, I actually mailed Autopia and asked about customs and discount codes and they sent me back a 15% code.
I ordered it last wednesday and it was waiting for me at work on monday.

Regards
Mick
