Hello and Welcome to the all new Arbico Website!

This site has been meticulously planned and painstakingly designed over nearly a year. It incorporates many new and unique features which will make buying a new PC a breeze for the first time buyer. It offers a wealth of product detail which is ideal for enthusiasts. No matter whether you are a first time user, enthusiast, professional or hard core gamer, all have been catered for.

The new Arbico website has many new features which we feel will set it apart from the other sites out there. As a company run by PC enthusiasts, we know what we would like to see in a good Custom Built PC website. This, coupled with our years of experience in dealing with customers ranging from those with no experience to those who live, breathe and sleep computers, has given us a clear understanding of what customers with varying levels of I.T. awareness look for when buying a new PC and how their needs are to be met. After all, it is this unique insight into the needs of our customers that has lead to us winning numerous awards in I.T. publications over the years, not to mention being crowned the Best Desktop Brand for 2010 by PC Advisor.

To start off, the new Arbico site has a much improved search feature, which allows you to search our entire site with ease. Simply type in what you are looking for e.g. PCs with an Intel Core i7 processor and click search to be provided with a full list of PCs with that component!

Navigation is also a doddle! If you are looking for PCs of a particular price or want to browse PCs by category, the top navigation bar enables you to do this in a flash. Simply click the relevant option in the navigation bar and you will be shown relevant products available in that category. Placing your mouse cursor on the product image will allow you to see the specification of that PC at a glance. Click on the product you want, and you will be taken to the details of the product so that you can read up on the detailed product features and customise the PC to your liking! The top navigation bar is visible on every page, so if you will never be stuck and can always get to where you want to be on the site in just one click!

Ease of use is foremost. As such, our home page also has category buttons on the left side, so that you can look at products by category. This is another way of browsing our site and is useful if you are not sure of what you want and want to browse through the various product options within a category! When you go into a category, it will list out all the PCs within that category, as well as show you the specs and features at a glance! As before, hover on the product image to see the specification of that PC at a glance and click on the product image to be taken to that products in depth product feature and customisation page!

Talking of customisation, we’ve really pulled all the stops with our new product configurator! With our new customisation module, the possibilities are endless! Not only do you get on the spot information about the components you have selected, our configurator also provides handy pointers to help you with your selection and makes recommendations to highlight the pick of the lot! With our new configurator, you will always sense that you are in the know while you put together your dream PC!

That’s not all we can tell you about the new configurator! There is another neat little feature which, we have no doubt you will find useful! With our new site, you can design a custom built PC for a mate, boss, work colleague, brother, sister, girlfriend, mum, dad, grand dad, nan, distant aunt (I could go on :P) without being in the same room as them (think mother in law! :S) Just put together a spec for their new custom built PC on our website and then click the option to save it. On saving the spec you will be given a configuration ID which you can email to your friends and family, which they can use on our site to load up and order the PC that you have configured for them...easy as pie!

Over and above all this, the core values behind the new Arbico site remain the same! We aim to offer a very personal and informative PC buying experience! Our PCs are still designed around the latest components at bargain prices! As a result of our strategic partnerships with component manufacturers we are able to offer PCs with the latest processors, motherboards, graphic cards etc. months before you will see similar PCs on the high street! All of this provided at the best possible prices without compromising on quality or service!

This is just the beginning people! The new Arbico site is designed to be a monster of a site! In the coming months you will see many new exciting features being added on the site! So add us to your bookmarks by clicking here and watch this space!
