    Hello,

    I made a purchase by credit card with them on March 10, and today I still haven't received my order.
    It's difficult to reach Ankermann by phone, so I opened a ticket where I was called a "card fraudster" and then asked to make a payment by bank transfer (so to pay the price twice...) despite the invoice and payment confirmation I sent them.

    These people are NOT professional in their relationship with their customers.
    I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making a purchase with them!

    I filed a complaint with the police and I'm also escalating the case with the European Consumer Centre.

      Ankermann is not a brand!!! It is a company that builds PCs or resells branded components just like LDLC... at Ankermann, everything is done in a secure and quality manner.
      Those who advise against making a purchase from them are competitors of Ankermann.

    I would say it's a questionable power supply because we don't know the brand.

    Personally, I don't know what this brand is worth as it's untested for me, but it's still a good setup

    ok thanks =)

    this PC has a pretty good base (Q9400/HD4850), capable of doing everything in relatively good conditions, but these additional components (power supply, the case too (probably), ...)
    and it certainly doesn't come with an operating system...

    another thing: how much is this PC sold for?
    (above €500, it's a scam...)

    and I'm not necessarily talking about the model but the brand.
    otherwise, in your opinion, what is the best brand?

    a....

    I just found this PC, only having references in its components..
    (no components were chosen at random, perhaps except for the motherboard which has a slightly outdated chipset, but still sufficient today :D)

    It's not a scam; I bought a computer for €440 and it works very well.

    AMD X4 640 Black Edition
    1TB SATA 2 hard drive
    GTX 460
    4GB DDR3 RAM
    ASUS M4A788T-V EVO/USB3
    24x DualLayer DVD+RW
    DSL ready Gigabit Ethernet LAN
    5.1 Channel High Definition Audio
    450W power supply

    Indeed, in France, prices are outrageous.
    I got a quote in France, the price for an equivalent computer was around €1400, I don't remember exactly.

    In France, when something is expensive, a lot of people think it's good, which is not necessarily the case.
