PC Review:
Have not as of yet put it through its paces, however judging by the start-up speed (less than 20 seconds was fastest (Thats from off to my computer open on properties screen)) its going to ease through all the programs I use.
I currently have a dual screen set-up, and the graphics cards in crossfire mode. This gives me just under 8GB graphics card. Partnered with the 16GB of ram and the currently overclocked to 3.4GHz processor (soon to be slightly increased within reason) is going to be an insane combination. (Will update this review after some testing (e.g playing games as Im cool)
If you can see from the pictures it was a absolutely huge machine, standing about 50cm tall with almost equal to or more depth. The fans run lovely and quiet in my opinion and keep the computer temp right down.
Delivery:
Delivery of this PC was under 24 hours from dispatch. Packaged EXCEEDINGLY well, very well protected and I am pleased with the care from PC specialist in packing this computer.
Customer Service:
Again this is out of this world. I had two problems when it arrived, one being it would start up but no display, and the other 2nd graphics card not being detected. Rang up for both and within an hour they were fixed. (No display was something to do with the ram, well it involved the ram being taken out. The graphics card was dislodged a bit in transit, easily put back into place.)
Very well spoken representatives on the end of the phone, knew exactly what they were doing. Almost 0 waiting time at the time I called.
Verdict:
Build Quality : 9.5 / 10 (due to the issue with the graphics card slightly coming out (not Specialist fault though)
Delivery: 9 / 10
Customer Service: 10 / 10
Overall: 9.5 / 10
Will definitely use Pc Specialist in the future. Will Reccomend.
Big Thanks To:
