Was delivered in 15 days; well within their quoted times. Loving it so far but my only nitpicks would be that I wish the GPU power cable was routed differently (but cable management is great otherwise) and that the M.2 heatsink was not moved from where it comes installed in the box to where my SSD was actually installed in the M.2_1 slot. PCS's own M.2 SSD has an amazingly annoying red light that flashes brighter than my future so I installed the heatsink onto it. Wasn't a huge inconvenience but I imagine that another first time owner of a bespoke desktop would have no idea that the metal stick on the motherboard could be moved onto the SSD.
Another than those little complaints, I had a great experience with the service. The little starter guide that PC Specialist included in the box with all the spare cables, cable ties etc, was very handy to familiarise me with my machine. Didn't come with foam packaged inside the chasis but nothing came damaged or unplugged/loose so no sweat on my back there. The live chat operator was a little blunt but was very helpful and was quick to give me an update when I had questions about the production times. Big thanks to @Nursemorph for helping me reconfigure my build to something a little more cost effective. Photos included at the bottom.
