    PCSPECIALIST Really Cheap Games

    I found this website a couple of days ago after talking with a couple of friends and it's got some awesome deals: https://www.g2play.net/store/home.php I picked up Battlefield 3 for £22 and Saints Row 3 for £15, the prices seem to fluctuate though. After paying for a game you'll get an e-mail...

    PCSPECIALIST Website Suggestions

    Just a couple of suggestions: -More emotions, it would be nice if there were a wider range of ones to use. I think these ones are free: http://www.big-boards.com/smileys.php# -Remove the 10 character minimum on posts, it's just kind of annoying sometimes :D

    PCSPECIALIST Grounding Issue?

    Hi, sometimes when I plug my earphones into the front of the corsair 600t case it reboots itself which seems to be due to the static from the plug in not being grounded properly. Is there something I can do to fix this? Also, (not really a serious problem just a bit annoying) when my HD6870...

    PCSPECIALIST A collection of excellent cases

    I've found a few cases that not only look pretty cool but also have good cooling. Firstly the new amazing Fractal Design Define R3 case: Not only is it built for silent operation but also manages to outperfom the Cooler Master CM 690 II and corsair 600t while only costing £89.99...

    PCSPECIALIST Suggestions

    I've got a few suggestions: 1. When using the post to forums button after building a P.C. it would be better if each of the headings retained their bold font to save people time re-bolding or leaving spaces between each section. 2. Add the weight of each of the cases to the detailed...

    PCSPECIALIST Avatar + Signature limits

    It looks like quite a lot of members don't have an avatar and it seems like the the restriction on image size is too much, how about increasing it to 75kb for an avatar and signature picture? It's really quite difficult getting pictures below 19.5kb and 9.8kb.

    PCSPECIALIST System Configurator Error?

    The system configurator says that the CoolIT Freezone Elite Cooler will fit into the Coolermaster 690 II case even though the COOLIT ECO C240 A.L.C won't fit in. I would have thought that if the C240 can't fit it the Elite wouldn't fit either due to its' larger size.

    PCSPECIALIST Limited amount of CPU's that can be overclocked, why?

    Why is there such a small amount of CPU's available in the Overclocked section? It would be nice to see a larger variety included like the 4 core phenom black edition processors.

    PCSPECIALIST Monitor Descriptions

    In the drop down list for picking a monitor the second and third TFT monitors are listed as having 2ms but in the information box about the screens it says that they have 5ms and 8ms. I'm not sure which one is correct but it looks like an error. Edit: Also, in the 18.4" Viper II laptop section...

    PCSPECIALIST Pricing Bugs?

    Hey there, I’ve recently come across this website and while I'm loving the option to individually select each component for the computer there isn't always a price shown next to each part in the drop-down list. Is this intentional or a bug? If it is intentional then I'd like to see prices put up...
