Hi folks
Recently bought a sytem from PCS. Outstanding advice and communication until it arrived. The side panel was badly dented. The shipping box was undamaged. Strange.
I imeediately sent an email with photo of the damage to PCS on the 3rd September. No reply. On 11th September I sent a request for RMA to return for refund.
My concern was (is) that there could be unseen damage to component/s. RMA approved by email today but disappointingly no explanation apology whatever from PCS.
OK I'm going to buy a pre-built from Currys.
However, my 2 friends who recommended PCS in the first place have persuaded me otherwise. Thank them PCS!!
So I'm giving it another go.
I mainly play FPSs like just cause and far cry (waiting for FC6)
I am not that interested in graphics quality (the first game I played was wolfenstein 3D on DOS!) I play for the gameplay and normally set graphics to low settings to reduce heat (I have always played on a gaming laptop) I am retired and on a very tight budget but I have realised that it is much simpler and cheaper to upgrade a desktop system.
So, given tight budget and low expectations of graphics, this is my quote.
Any comments or advice would be welcome. Especially if it results in a lower price!!
Thanks in advance
