When I am rating sellers on Ebay or Amazon I will happily rate 3/5 or 4/5 for a prompt resolution to a problem such as the one that Adrian described, and add something to that effect in the text. Of course, when you encounter the same mistake twice or three times from the same seller, then it's a different matter.

Re: [Hampshire] [OT] Anyone used EclipseComputers or LambdaTek?
When only two parts of three turned up from Lambdatek, I was expecting a battle, but no, a human being went and sorted it out and explained where the foul up happened (which I always appreciate). So -1 + 1 = 0 for me. Unfortunately these days 0 is rather a good score since competency seems in such short supply.

[Hampshire] [OT] Anyone used EclipseComputers or LambdaTek?
I'm interested in buying an ASRock ION-330 to replace my current media centre and take advantage of HDMI output to my LCD and to have something small and quiet rather than a tower case in the lounge ;) EclipseComputers have it for a reasonable price. However according to companies house they are overdue on their last return (it was due in feb last year) which worries me a little, and their postcode is listed differently on their site from their company registration. I've found a bit of feedback on the web which doesn't seem great. Another alternative would be LambdaTek, they don't appear to be registered with companies house but do have good feedback from various review sites on the web. They are also slightly cheaper so I'd be tempted to purchase from them. Has anyone used EclipseComputers or LambdaTek and have any comments?
