Excellent follow up phone call from PCS today, which I wasn't expecting, but was very welcome. They let me know how seriously they were taking this incident and what steps they had already taken, since I reported it yesterday, to make sure it never happens to anyone else. They also wished to...

Happy to report that after leaving it for 7 ish hours, it did not blow up when I finally powered it on :). All looks good so far. (loving the CPU temp readout you can see through the glass).

Well despite its' soggy start, I finally turned it on, as I had let it aclimatise for about 6/7 hours first, and what do you know? There's gold at the end of this rainbow! Loving the CPU temp readout that you can see through the glass :).

Oo, I didn't notice that, thanks!

I doubt I will be sending it back, but seeing as I have not powered it up yet (waiting for it to aclimatise and dry out anything that may have internal moisture) after the soggy mess of a delivery disaster, that may be a moot point if I find out it does not work when I do. I'm more grateful for...

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I do really appreciate it, even if it's not the best news. They say you shouldn't ask a question if you are not prepared to hear the answer. Out of interest, do you know what the best performing ASUS ROG mobo + intel chip is at the moment and also on the...

Will have to change the Title that AgentCooper picked for this thread, to Nightmare Build - Nightmare Delivery...

Wow, that all sounds so bad, especially the part about it not performing as well as even the most basic of CPUs. I chose Intel due to a history of the games I play performing better and more reliably with it and with having no issues with my previous CPU and the one before that. I was so...

Ooo, didn't realise about the RAM speed, I will keep my eye on that, thanks.

It is a gaming and work PC. Which bits are not ideal for gaming? Will something on it let me down? Or is it the whole AMD v Intel thing you mean? I tried to future proof it a little, as I did with my last one, which seemed to work out well. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as I always...

Yeah, not the best start, but I am grateful to actually have my PC and tasty G card while so many others are still waiting, and hopefully my day gets better from here with it all. Spec is: I probably did not spend as much time researching as I could, as I was in a bit of a rush (and I'm no...

Got mine today, won't mention the delivery here as that is in another thread. Few pics, before I set up properly and add power, to give some hope through that long wait (glass removed for internal pics).

Darling, when one has a MANSION of a PC case, one has the room to store one's antiques!! :p

I asked him about that very thing, he said I can if I want, but it should be fine.

Spoke a very nice and helpful PCS guy. Sent the pics while on the phone to him and he let me know there was no way it should have arrived in that manner. He will now take it up with DPD (Palletways is apparently one of their delivery arms). He instructed me to open the box and assess. Box was...
