    PCSPECIALIST Umm the new Vanquish DS £999 model in the Review Section...

    Looks beastly and very nice, but it lists at £999. If you click 'configure now' though, as to change the spec but it starts with the default config of the said review model, the total price actually comes out as £21 cheaper??? What gives - glitch or intentional?

    PCSPECIALIST With SSD boot drives becoming more popular

    Have PCS made any comments about potentially offering smaller SSDs than the mininal 120GB they have in the configurator at the moment? I imagine many may be swayed with a between 60-80GB alternative to act as their first/primary/OS drive. Thoughts?

    PCSPECIALIST What PSU does the Review Spec Vanquish MKII come with

    On selecting the defaut review £949 model it lists it comes with the VS 550W, but now when selecting the parts solo because it comes with the 760 you get the AMPS message So say if I selected to buy the review £949 build, what PSU do you get in the build? Thanks

    PCSPECIALIST Any idea why no option to add extra fans to Mini PCs in the configurator?

    Seems like it would be a good idea to encourage more fans in the small form factor builds and its there in the Desktops, with the options now seemingly back in stock after an absence Have PCS previously commented on this or am I missing something?

    PCSPECIALIST The PCS Maelstrom T900 Case - how loud and general impressions?

    As a potential case, this is vaguely appealing in terms of cost and supplied fans. With such fans, whats the noise like coming from it under load and generally are there any forum lurkers out there who'd care to share their thoughts?

    PCSPECIALIST The quality of the VS PSUs...

    I'm currently in the final throes of pinning down a build, and I've seen the VS PSUs described as 'bottom line' in some circles. I may be opting for a Bitfenix Prodigy Mini or Aerocool DS with an R9-270x - would a 550 VS series PSU both be enough and generally be of a good quality - anyone with...

    PCSPECIALIST Nvidia Free Games with No DVD drive in build...

    Probably an obvious question answered before but can't see it listed. Considering a mini bitfenix prodigy mini from PCS with no DVD drive as I don't really use it. I'm getting a GTX760 which includes Batman and Assassins Creed - so as such, how do I redeem them? I wouldn't imagine PCS could...

    PCSPECIALIST Bitfenix Prodigy Spec Check Please - In particular

    Thoughts on cooling and acoustics would be much appreciated. Mainly for gaming and emulation. In reference to SSHD, approximate boot times with the SSHD chosen with Windows 8.1 would also be greatfully received. For the R9-280x, I'd be interested in suitability of putting it in the small form...

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on PSU and generally about this spec please!

    Howdy all, lurked for a while and now biting the bullet with a purchase in the next few days.

Budget around £800, veering towards Case COOLERMASTER HAF XB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel®...
