Review~
I bought a pc from PCS a couple of years ago, I only had 2 problems with the pc as it came. The first thing was, when it went on sleep mode, the pc would mess up, I don't remember what happened, it was a really long time ago, but when I called PCS, I was told it was from windows vista, and I had to take the battery out the motherboard and put it back in. That kept happening untill I disabled sleep/standby mode.
Second thing was blue screen, I was told it was the RAM, i was sent a brand new set of RAM, which didn't solve the problem. At the end I just used 2 sticks of RAM instead of 4, then added another. So the pc worked on 3, but not 4. They kept trying to help, but after about 10-15 calls and chase ups, I was gave up on the trouble, it was too much hassle. Ofcourse If kept going they would have most likely fixed it.
Which is why I came back here and ordered another PC, knowing they would do anything to help. I ordered this PC, with a Mouse and a Headset. I know sometimes companies delay the order because of minor items. So I called and asked if everything was in stock. I was told the mouse and headset were not. So I asked them dispatch the order without the 2. After a day I thought let me return the mouse and headset, and ask for some discount for a 3rd monitor. I asked on the live chat online, the person said it was ok, and I needed to amend the order. I tried to amend the order for what is being returned and what I want to replace with. Of course it doesn't allow me because it asks for the extra payment. After a couple of messages and I was told to amend the headset and mouse. So I did, then I asked if they can add the monitor. I got a phone call later trying to confirm what is going on and what do I need to be done. After a few things, the end result was, I was refunded the money for the headset and mouse, which I didn't ask for. I didn't get the discount I was promised. Very disappointed. After all that, I was messing around the website, and I noticed my HDD dropped in price by £20. At this point, I'm like after all this and spending over 3k on a PC, £20 is nothing, never mind I don't want to go through all the trouble.
Hopefully I'll get the PC on Tuesday and everything is perfect! Fingers crossed.
