So tomorrow? Looking good this week then - I'm Friday atm but only got the update on Saturday so not expecting another update before the build. Excitement slowly building
No RGB fans on this but it has LED integrated RGB strips on the front which provides the glow on the pictures. From what I've read you don't need extra fans for the case for cooling purposes - only if you're looking for extra bling.

Best thing is it will save you a couple of hundred quid too...
There is definitely an element of stock allocation as well as JIT ordering. When the items go out of stock in configurator it does not necessarily mean they are fully stocked out for current builds in the pipeline. It means all the allocation of deliveries up to that point are utilised.
they...
Sounds like using Saturday overtime to help with backlog.
I finally got my email with estimated build date as Friday 3rd July - which would be 21 working days. Fingers crossed get to it little before that and it arrives next weekend but after all the uncertainty would be very happy with that...
I spoke to them as i haven't had any email update - now on WD16.
They told me they had 5000 odd orders in the queue to be built. I was in the 'top quarter'. They said they're building at least a 100 a day at moment - likely quite a bit more but didn't have the exact numbers so ii'd guess 120-130.
Worth checking out Scott's build guide and his different spec options at the bottom. Particularly: Excellent Mid-Level 1440p £1,199* - https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/mXndDgqCNn/
On your build - Like that case is not worth it with only one fan etc.
For an...
So they're already on to sending updates on emails yet a number of us still haven't had an update since the start of the month?
The only positive i can take from this is that they seem to be getting them out faster than expected ...
I'd have done this if they had a decent high end spec desktop - unfortunately their highest spec one is an intel with too many compromises. My old PC is done - I've had to hook my screen up to an old macbook to connect into my work portal. Gaming isn't possible at all which is destroying me. If...
Yeh i noted that the 1000W RMx PSU i ordered has gone out of stock and wont be back in till the 11th July according to the configurator. But the 850w is now in stock. The only reason i went with the 1000W was it was in stock whilst the other RMxs weren't.
Given i have no clue on my estimated...
If I had an estimated date it would make it more bearable in my mind.
Knowing a lot of people have an estimated date and not getting anything but a generic ‘don’t know right now‘ from any attempt to contact PCS is making it more unbearable.
Did they do right thing in trying to provide manual...
Yes Scott - quite possibly an element of that. Possibly also customers being alerted more quickly to the delays on here ahead of reaching their original 'estimates' where the would originally start wondering whats going on - so the concern has ramped up more quickly.
But then it will perhaps...
Sometimes people don't always come across clearly on a forum especially when frustrated or triggered. Nobody is going to expect them to employ a builder per order so no need to be flippant. However the consumer facing business will always need to be better at providing information - and PCS have...
I'd be happy with a weekly update if they could send me one. Afraid I'm still in a big black hole regarding any insight as to potential build timelines.
Their average still at 25> days so think you were perhaps on the lucky end of the spectrum
But Spyder - I have not had any email indicating a potential build date. So unless i'm alone there will be others for whom nothing has been improved.
I previously emailed them about the increase in wait times - and got a very generic email back this afternoon - which disappointingly spent three...
I've still not received an update on mine so I don't believe we can rely on the weekly updates. Last I heard was the generic COVID-19 update as to expect some extended time frames. Assume I must be way down the list for some reason although supposed to be on WD 12.
The average is up over 25 working days so you're probably looking to end of July at the moment. No-one can really say accurately however as there's not a lot of info coming from PCS.
