Oh that's good to hear; I didn't know that. There's no rush at all. Thanks.

Hi everyone. After ordering a PC from PCS back in May (and so far very happy with it), I find myself in the unenviable position of now considering a second PC for my son to use for VR and general gaming. I don't want to spend a fortune but budget £1500ish, with some flexibility. Would this...

I'd quite happily pay a bit more for someone to build it and have their warranty in place, of course. In the first instance, I was both paying them for it and the parts were costing less than they would do had I bought them direct, so that's even better. But that's not my issue; it's the lack of...

Well you'd think so, but at the time I ordered it was actually cheaper to buy the entire rig on here than build it myself, which is why I ordered it from PCS. Edit: yes, I do sell products.

To be honest, the above reply is the almost word-for-word response that I got about a week ago. I'm now on day 21 of pre production and it's no further forward. Twice I have contacted PCS, and gotten a different reason on both occasions; the first time it was "we have got everything but we're a...

I'm also on day 18 as of today. Similar spec to previous poster, but I have the 2080Ti, which is apparently the only thing they're waiting on coming into stock (as of yesterday) - this according to a request for an update from PCS. I modified my original order and had email contact from PCS...

I only recommended the 2070 Super because it has the three DP outputs and (I thought) the 1650 had three different outputs, but as I said, at the beginning, I don't really know computers these days ;) Perhaps I should stick to what I know best.

RTX 2070 Super has 3 x DP outputs. You could run two of the below off that. Ought to give enough screen space. 34" Samsung: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LS34J550WQUXEN-34-Inch-LED-Monitor/dp/B07J4CZYND/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=widescreen+monitor&qid=1592403241&sr=8-4 or 43" Samsung...

I bought a Pixio PX7 Prime 27" in the end, now hanging off a monitor stand bolted to the desk; gave the LED Cinema display to my son and have the Pixio hooked up to my Mac via HDMI, with DP available for when the new PC arrives. Thanks for your help.

I'm not into sports trading, but I'd definitely go the widescreen route; two birds with one stone :)

What are you trading, out of interest? (sitting here trading DE30 as I type, waiting for a fill...)

Even if it's automated (sounds like you may be running some algos given the milleseconds criteria?), that doesn't take a lot of computing power because a ton of it is server side usually. Don't get me wrong, I'm not averse to spending the cash for a system that's right, but as the previous...

I dont really know computers all that well these days, but that's well overspecced for trading; charts and trading software don't require huge resources. My day-to-day trading setup is an old Mac Mini i5, 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD and 2 x 27" monitors, connected via HDMI and Mini DisplayPort. Cost me...

I'm intending to get a VR headset, maybe a Rift S - but I also have a Razer Orbweaver mech keyboard, and the keys on this are pretty easy to feel where they are, so I think if I need to I can use that for rudder and whatever else.

Oddly, I found it again on the Thrustmaster website for only a bit more than I'd originally paid, so I've ordered it again on there as they have it in stock. I dont think I have a particular need for the rudder controls but we'll see. Certainly nothing like your motorised rig! :)
