Taylored Systems provide a range of desktop systems with a selection of operating system which isn’t well defined on their website, but they assure us it includes full frontal nakedness. They have three real world stores in the Isle of Wight and Lincolnshire.

“RB Computing Inc. is a 100% Canadian-owned supplier of custom-built computer solutions which has been in active operation since 1996.” They are located in Ottawa. Orders can be placed on-line. These orders are extensively customizable. I have purchased numerous desktop and server grade computers without any OS installed. Their sales staff are very helpful, as they are used to catering to corporate customers’ specific needs and whims. A+ service.

Infinity Computer Group

Infinity Computer Group have a range of desktops and laptops which can be ordered without operating system. The website isn’t that obvious about it, however they have confirmed that they are totally OK with people specifying a naked system.

Cram Computers

Cram Computers have a store in the real world (well, in Scunthorpe at least) the website doesn’t look that promising, however I am assured that nakedness is very much an option in-store. They have a second site at www.cc24.co.uk where bare PCs are on display.

Varsity Computers

Varsity Computers do a range of crippled laptops and desktops, however a few of the desktops are customisable and can be upgraded to nakedness. The barebones category has a further selection of naked desktops and servers.

Computers and Parts Land

Computers and Parts Land has an interesting website with a PDF catalogue and a printable order form. I can’t really qualify them as an online retailer so I am adding the new category of “mail order”. I see some naked desktops in the price list.

PC Village

PC Village is a bricks and mortar chain of store based in Toronto, Canada with six outlets across Southern Ontario. I have purchased over a dozen computer from them over the last 10 years for myself and others, from Desktops to Server units. All systems can be customized and there is no problem at all buying a bare system, either for Linux or a previous purchased OS from a computer being replaced.

I rate them an A+ for price, service and support. All systems come with a one year warrantee, on top of any factory warantees on the components. I have never had any problems getting service, even on systems several years old.

World of Computers

WOCOnline has a range of desktops, laptops and servers which they sell online and in the real world. The laptops protect their modesty, but the desktops and servers flaunt their nakedness (although the default configuration includes an operating system it is swiftly removed)

Novatech

Novatech sell a wide range of laptops, desktops and servers. Their headline prices are for the naked computer and you can specify a range of proprietary operating systems as optional extras. In addition to their online store they have shops in the real world at Portsmouth, Bristol, Reading and Cardiff.
