It may not look like a mfr site, but if it isn't... who makes "Advent" computers? There is an American site "adventcomputers.com" but they aren't affiliated with the UK outfit.

The branding on the site is Advent but what is the corporation who makes the computers? Also there is no search function to find a model and there are no support facilities. There is advice on what users who also looked bought but some of the items aren't even Advents. If this is the mfg's site, support does not look promising. It looks pretty seat-of-the-pants if it is the mfg.
