Better go with a reputable company - there have been a lot of scams in the past months, and i really don't want to hear you crying

I remember when Gateway was a flegling company that people were cautious about buying from.
You have to start somewhere.

Well the main reason I asked if anybody heard of them was because my friend bought his pc there, and it runs great and everything but I wasn't sure if he was lying to me or not. Well thanks for your help i always ask people for their opinons. Maybe I'll buy my pc from them and I'll let you guys know if they're good or not.

I don't know about free domains, maybe they would do it because it sounds better than .com or .net

Yeah, I wouldn't ever buy anything from a company with a .tk domain name.
EDIT: Ive just looked at the site, they are using free hosting, a free domain, there is no contact details, order form is not secure, spelling mistakes throughout the FAQs
Also,

Q-What to do if you have problems with pc?
A-E-mail us, then we will tell you the best solution to it. Any minor problems with hardware, contact the manufacturer.

In the UK at least the law states that the person you purchased the product from is responsible for any repairs or for arranging a replacement, you should never have to contact the manufacturer directly.
Also they say that if you dont get your order they will give you the order number and you have to phone UPS... again, you shouldnt have to do this.
This looks like a major scam and who knows, the original thread starter could be the owner of this so called "company".

If your "friend" has had everything working ok then it must be a real company, why ask if its a scam.

I didn't find anything cheaper than unlimited space and unlimited transfer for free, doesn't mean I'd host my company site there.

But the difference between Dell and some crappy site on a free host is that if you have given them your credit card details they may run out and buy loads of things and you never get your PC... and even if you do get it I just hope nothing ever goes wrong with it since they will tell you to contact the manufacturer, but the manufacturer will reply saying contact the person you purchased it from since its their responsibility to repair or exchange faulty goods.
