Hi everyone. I am a new member to PC Specialist and I made my first order today. I am a lecturer of IT and Computing and have been working with computers at a detailed level since around 2005. Despite dabbling with Windows 95 and 98 in my younger days, I really started out with Windows 2000; things really got serious once Windows XP came out. Do I game? Yeah kinda, although I dip in and out and prefer casual game play. I am a keen player on Second Life, the free-roaming open world game where you create your own avatar and all worlds (sims) are user-created. Back in the day I was an avid console gamer on Nintendo 64 and PlayStation One. I have recently got back into PC gaming, starting with Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition. This is what brought me to purchase a new gaming PC. I previously had a high-spec Apple iMac 27" 4K system with Windows 10 running native in Bootcamp; this was okay but you never got true performance or the frame rate. So I sold my beloved iMac and went to get a gaming PC.
Although I am not going out of my way to name and shame companies, I did order a custom gaming rig with Dino PC. This turned out to be a disaster with no correspondence or product. I have used them before, hence my lack of customer review reading. I am currently in a dispute case led by PayPal over this, and possibly trading standards. But in the meantime, I went to PC Specialist to order another PC. I'm going to share the spec in the forums shortly. They have been fantastic so far and I hear great things about them. I just wish I came here in the first place. So yes, I am excited about the arrival of a new PC, but at the same time it is a sore topic with a pending refund case going on with the other company. Don't let me down PC Specialist!
