Hello

The chaps from DPD stated they would be here between nine and ten this morning. They arrived at 0915hrs . I helped them with the box into the front room, no dents on the box, contents well packed with foam airbag thing inside case. I have been using the machine from then until now (21:37). It is beyond what I expected. It looks great no problems with it, very quiet when you consider the spec merely a gentle hum in the background. The inside looks, dare i say, it the" NUTS". The cable management is brilliant, great care has been taken putting it together that is obvious. Those 7970's rock I put it through 3DMark11 and got a score of 16548 , been playing "Crysis" before i couldnt get a steady 40fps on this with average settings now i have everything turned up to maximum and I mean maximum and I aint dropping below 95fps ( the sunset when you come over the hill the first time never looked so good). Not wanting to tempt fate, hopefully I won't have any problems but I'm sure PCS will sort them out if I do. I am very happy with what I have received. It was a lot of money but it was worth it. I will being playing with this for years never having to bother changing any of it. Well done PCS great bunch of blokes and thanks for putting up with my questions and constant phonecalls. 3dmark11.JPGcomputer 1.JPGcomputer 2.JPG.

Hello

Its been over a month since I started using the machine and there hasn't been many days when I have not been on it, everything still running great my machine eats up everything I throw at it. Currently enjoying working my way through Metro 2033 what a great game, I recommend a SSD drive to anyone who is thinking about it my programs are almost instant when windows starts.To anyone thinking about buying a PC from here all I can say is my experience with PCS was great and I am glad I used them, the people on the forums were really helpfull also.
