Barebones PC

[cjenks22]

Looking to acquire a new pc , but only require case , motherboard , CPU , cooler and power supply , is this possible with PC specialist?

No they only sell complete systems

So you'd be supplying just the GPU and RAM?

I think the least you get away with would be (as they have to be able to test it):

• Case
• Motherboard
• CPU (as long as it's got an iGPU)
• Cooler
• Power Supply
• RAM (but you'd just buy the lowest speed/size available - 8GB of DDR5 4800MHz for c.£29)

Just had a go and it says "Unfortunately you cannot place an order without a hard disk drive or SSD drive" that's a bummer as i have got 2 M2's already.

What speed m.2s do you have? It may be worth paying for a small (512GB) and fast one just for Windows (which they have to install a test version of to test the machine...but is not a full version)...alternatively you could go for the cheapest, slowest, smallest PCS-branded one for £20...on the basis that you'll 'dump' it and the RAM anyway (or keep them safe in case you have to return the PC for repair).

I have the 7,000 mb/s speed ones , think i might go for the cheapest ssd option as you suggested , thanks for your help.

The cheapest SSD is only £20 so stick that in it and then sell it later. You will probably be less than a tenner out of pocket.
