Pre-Production...

[Donnie_Brasco]

I’ve been in pre-production for 15 days now. Nothing seems to be happening. The parts I’ve ordered are said to be in limited stock , but the expected build date is the 3rd of February.
Is this normal, as I highly doubt that it’ll be ready then.

Do you mean 15 working days or 15 days total? The expected build date is just an estimate, sadly at the moment PCS are suggesting 21 to 23 working days on their configurator (for PCs certainly: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/amd-am4-gen3-pc/)

Pre-production is the longest wait, essentially you're in the queue to get into building.

Just called them and they said there’s 1500 computers in front of mine in pre production. Mines been in pre production for 19 working days. He also said they build around 100-200 per day.

Didn‘t know they had THAT many orders 😱

There was a point towards the end of last year when there were 5000 orders on the books.

That’s crazy! When is yours expected

They not only supply direct to the public that have ordered through their website, but they supply several retailers who probably have large orders in - Currys, Littlewoods, Very to name some of the ones I have seen. Also, I believe all orders from abroad are built here in the UK (not100% sure on that but looks like most are).

Depending on what components you’ve ordered it’s currently up to around 75 working days before it goes into build

My god. As far as I can tell. The only component out of stock I’ve ordered is a AMD 5600 XT

So sit back, grab a copy of war and peace, read the stickies on the forum as there’s a lot of info on there about current queues.

They said build time estimated for next week so I'd assume the week after.

 

[Cobblers]

Well to give a further idea onn estimates... for a week or two now the estimate stated 2nd Feb.

As of this morning a new one came through to say 1st Feb.

However, after speaking to Jamie yesterday (in reply to a previous message I sent to him) he reckon'd the system was due for building in a week and a half.

Either one is fine for me, though of course I would prefer to have the system sooner rather than later. It is what it is and I'll enjoy it whenever the thing turns up.

I'm waiting for a 3070. Big pile of wishful thinking here, but is there any way to know if they have one in stock for my build? Does it work that way - allocation based on order date?

From what I understand orders are prioritised by order date once all the parts are in stock.

Basically if your next in line and all your parts are in stock you will go into build. However if your PC is waiting for the GPU for example they will build the next PC order in line in which they have all the parts for.

yeah the original order date of the system, not of the one part

Just went into building today. I have one question tho. Do they start to build even if a component is missing? I’m worrying that they might have my AMD gpu out of stock

Thankyou. Roughly how many days from start to finish in building, did you experience
