First you are introduced to the range of Dell machines available. As you add in components selected from the limited range of options available the price tag is recalculated in real-time. Many of the options are mentally taxing, such as trying to work out the difference between adding a network card or selecting integrated networking. EIDE Hard Drive. As advertised there is extensive help available to Dell owners, but access to specific facts has been obscured by many layers of irrelevant information and after 10 minutes I was no closer to finding out anything about my sound card.
Payment is possible by credit card or direct deposit.
The range of products is extremely limited with only a handful of the biggest hardware manufacturers represented. By selecting a category you are shown the list of items in that category with manufacturers names, a basic product description and a price tag. Valuenet promises delivery in 5 days and payment may be made by credit card using the ECnet secure transaction system. As might be expected from South Africa's biggest chain of computer stores, the range of products is large and well-organised. Unfortunately the navigation system leaves much to be desired and this fact is exacerbated by the graphics-heavy pages which were painfully slow to load.
