My PC is on its way and should arrive tomorrow. My case has one intake and one exhaust fan (Corsair 5000D) and am thinking I'd quite like to put three RGB fans at the front (obviously to make it go faster). I'm assuming that if I just go to "Upgrade this order" and buy the three Corsair LL120 fans, they simply send them out and I can install them myself? Seems PCS are way cheaper than anywhere else for them. How does it work for other upgrades down the line? Do PCS want the PC sent back to them so they can upgrade it? Can we do it ourselves? Where is the line before it invalidates the warranty? Obviously slapping in a few fans is no big deal but is different to changing out a motherboard, which I'd be perfectly fine doing myself but just speaking hypothetically.

PCS operate an ‘open case’ policy where you can install components, with a few conditions. You can opt for things to be sent to you, via the upgrades section. Or you can arrange for the system to be shipped to them if it’s a job you’re not comfortable with.
If you look at section seven of their T&C...
Unlike with most computer companies, we allow you to open your case and install your own components without voiding your warranty on the following conditions:
Any tampering, repair or modification by unauthorised personnel voids the warranty.
The long and short of it is that they will provide support as long as components have come from them and you’re not taking it to a third party to install/repair. If you’re ever in doubt about anything, it’s safest to give them a call for clarification 🙂👍
