However many years later I can finally buy myself a PC. Kids junk re-arranged. Money no longer tight. Space now has appeared for a PC desk. Life is falling into place.

This is on behalf of my parents who used PCS on my recommendation. Mum had an Ultranote that's a couple of years old. Keyboard stopped working. She sent it back to PCS in February. Four weeks later she received it back 'fixed' after paying a fee as it was out of warranty. All fine so far...
Bought this years ago in a steam sale and randomly decided to fire it up for the first time last week. Wow, this is actually one of the best games I think I've ever played and an entire level above the first one (which was very good). Up there with Breath of the Wild and God of War.
Got...
Time pressured query.. I'm 8th in the phone line queue to PCSpecialist so I imagine I hvae about 15 minutes before I have to give them an answer. The case for my Dad's PC is out of stock and I need to suggest an alternate. Budget is approx £65... suggestions or best? It's got a 5600x, noctua...
I'm about to order my dad a PC from here and saving the windows cost would mean I could get him a better PSU and SSD. He's got an old ancient PC which can just about run windows 10. But it has Windows 10 nonetheless. OEM I'm sure. But the PC will get skipped. But does that method still work...
My google wifi router has started playing up and I'm reaching the point of no return with my patience trying to fix it. Out of warranty too. Its put me right off replacing like for like but the newer Google nest wifi might be better for all I know?
Anyway, anyone who knows much about about...
Mods... I want a touchscreen laptop with a stylus and PCS offer no such thing as I'd be ordering it if they did. Therefore if I post on here asking for people's thoughts on a few models is that OK? It's not like I'm discussing something that competes with a PCS product because they don't sell...
So I try turning my trusty 8 year old Vortex III beast on this evening. Power light comes on, the wifi light comes on, the fans whir loudly for about 60 seconds but nothing ever happens then the whole thing stays booted off.
Is this finally curtains for my old trusty? Does this sound like...
Right so my dad has said his 10 year old pc no longer cuts the mustard and I know that thing creaked the day he bought it!
He barely does much apart from browsing, looking at his digital photos... but also is now insisting he does some music production on there (since when?) hence the 3600 cpu...
Hi all. Recommendations please. I have a plusnet hub one and it's WiFi overall is a disgrace. I don't want to buy a wireless only router and have to use the hub one in modem mode as already tried that and the hub one has issues with port forwarding with some of my stuff which hours of third...
When you click on the review hyperlinks it just sends you back to the PCS review page. At least it does on my android phone anyway. I wanna read the reviews! Boooooo. Fix it.

Yo peeps.
Just started my journey of making my house less stupid. Echo has landed. Next step is some bulbs, plugs and whatnot. However, I'm aware I need some sort of overall smart home hub (Samsung smartthings has been recommended) to co-ordinate all these things together. However I have a...
Hi all, anyone know how to turn off threaded view? First time I went on this site today and all of the threads are in that stupid threaded view.
And yes, my settings are set to linear oldest first and NOT threaded:
And my threads still look like this:
Morning all. My PC (plex server) is connected by hdmi to my 4k TV. I simplistically thought a locally saved 4k video file, saved on the ssd, would play without much problem. How wrong I am. Stuttering galore on VLC. Is a dedicated gpu required just to play 4k video files?!
There's no streaming...

Anyone tempted by Uncharted, Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption on PC?!
£12.99 a month presumably if the cost is the same for PC as it is for PS4 owners. Maybe a free 7 day trial might appear where I have a maniacal week of playing through all those...
Morning all,
I have a budget of £500 to build myself a plex server (which will also be connected by HDMI to my tv to run either the windows plex app, or the plex home theatre software).
Main questions are:
1. Does anyone know if the Kingston UV400 SSDs have the same issue as the V300...
