As discussed in the Intel price cut thread, there are some shocking looking IT supplier websites online.

Let's see if that with our powers combnied we can come up with a truly horrible, horrible list of Australian business/personal web pages, and maybe create a short list to throw up in a Digg item once the list is long enough. ;)

We'll start with Braindance's entry...

Yeahdone might look dodgy, but they're reliable, well priced suppliers.
Probably caus they dont have to pay some over-priced webdesigner a kings ransom for flashy graphics that only utilise 1/3rd of your screen.

ZING ZING ZING!

MSY is definately the worst so far. It's almost as bad as their service.

Post 9

ever tried to get around the game arena site it is crap

Post 10

They're keeping the cost of merchandises down...

Post 11

msy only just recantly started posting interstate last year.. They used to be storefront only and have some of the cheapest prices out there. Probably explain why they have such a crap website.

Read http://www.itestate.com.au/company.asp and see how many engrish things you can spot :P
And MSY are a dream to deal with compared to these guys

Post 13

When I lived in Melb last year MSY weren't that bad... Sure the site sucks but the prices are really really good and the service isn't completely sucky

Post 14

any site that uses the <marquee> element has gone to hell imo :P

for the uneducated thats a html element that makes the text scroll across the screen.

Post 15

You be nice to MSY. I've been buying from there for years and they're always quick and friendly. Best place to buy your pc gear.

Post 16

Less chatter more websites. :)

Post 17

It's proven the MSY websites gives you eye cancer.

What is with the peacock/pigeon thing in the background? Looks like it was drawn in Paint by a 2 year old - probably the owner's 2 year old. Oh wait, they are actually selling 'portraits' made in MS Paint?

Each page has different navigation buttons (if it has any at all) in a different spot on the page.

Their online ordering system only works with the dreaded IE :S And they can't spell 'constant'.
