    PCSPECIALIST How well was your PC packaged?

    Be careful when he delivers it that you give it a quick check over as soon as he puts it down. My wife took mine in while I was at work and the driver clearly put the parcel down so the damage was obscured and then he scarpered quick.

    PCSPECIALIST How well was your PC packaged?

    Some good suggestions here. I think at a minimum they need to use double wall boxes with more prominent markings about the fragility and value of the item inside. Maybe a better method for packing out an outsize box so the stuff inside is held better. Sounds like my experience wasn't isolated.

    PCSPECIALIST How well was your PC packaged?

    Over all I'm very pleased with my new PC (3rd from PCS). Build quality and performance are both excellent. However, the external packaging was just shoddy and unprofessional. 1. Although the PC itself was held with foam inside, the box was too big for the PC and it slid about inside as soon as...

    PCSPECIALIST Faster Delivery than 2013

    That was my line of thinking exactly @Ash_ The difference was over £200 when I placed the order for my PC as well. The price of the 6700XT seems to have risen by quite a bit, as when I go back to spec the same PC now, it's £150 more expensive. Just received my PC and have to say I am not...

    PCSPECIALIST Faster Delivery than 2013

    5000D Airflow, 5800x, 6700XT. Must admit I was expecting a longer wait. I really wanted a 3080 but wasn't paying scalper prices or waiting forever. 6700XT was in stock and retail price. I can upgrade later.

    PCSPECIALIST Desktop Graphics Cards

    I just did the same thing and ordered a system last night with a 6700XT. Was hoping for a 3080 for my build but I'm not paying mad prices for one. The 6700XT is available right now without much of a mark up and will keep me going till next year when things may have calmed down. It can't be...

    PCSPECIALIST Error in Configuration Listings

    Hi, Your configuration list won't let me choose an Asus Prime B360A-M motherboard with 2666MHz RAM despite your own links and Asus website saying they are compatible. When I click proceed it tells me they are incompatible. Can you fix this so I can order a PC please? Thanks, Jim.

    PCSPECIALIST HD7870 Graphics Cards

    Does anyone know what type of HD7870 graphics card I would end up with in my PC? Specifically is it one of the newer Tahiti LE type or an older version? I would also liked to have had the option to choose one with a more silent cooler as I am doing with my CPU. Can anyone give me a rough idea...
