Only one problem with this case is that I believe its just too big for PCS's packaging, at least it was last time this case was mentioned.

The Cosmos II is bigger than the 800D however when someone posted a thread on the Cosmos II I remember PCS mentioning the testing needed with the case for delivery with components. It is a nice case, quite old review (2009) do they have an updated version?

 

[ObserverJLin]

Also I don't get it why PCS use COOLIT ECO II ALC FAT BOY & COOLIT ECO II C240 A.L.C. They should use the more popular Corsair H80 & Corsair H100 for their top two liquid CPU coolers.

Aren't they (Corsair and Coolit) working together?

PCS are in a contract with CoolIt

See Below

To clarify - Coolit do NOT own Corsair, and Corsair do NOT own CoolIT.

CoolIT however are the manufacturers of all Corsair coolers. So if you buy a CoolIT product from us, it will be very similar to the Corsair model, but cheaper.

About leaks - earlier CoolIT products did have some occasional issues with leaking. However, we have not had any reports of ECO II products leaking and we have sold 1,000's.

I'd actually like to see them do this.. The Corsair models seem to get better temps over the Coolit counterparts

Evidence?

I would also like to see PCS opening stores in London for southern customers.

They don't have stores anywhere mate, just a warehouse where they build and ship them.

So you can't be certain that the corsair coolers have better temps , the link is from 2010.

Yeah I meant if PCS had a warehouse close to London that would be awesome.

Very demanding customer
I live in the south as well but apart from not being able to collect the rig myself I don't think I am missing from anything else.

Because I've had loads of problems with couriers. Just recently I've had lost, damaged goods from the well known courier companies.
Can you image if my laptop/pc had a problem and I had to send it back from London to Huddersfield? The thought terrifies me. By the time it arrived at Huddersfield and back to London again there could other problems caused by mishandling of the package.
I just hope my system will be built to high standards and no big faults would occur that I would need to send it back.

I have not experienced an issue with DPD so far so I just can advice you to remain positive. But if an issue takes place I am sure PCS would get it sorted for you straight away, I had some issues with my rig and got it sorted in less than a week.

To be honest this applies to anything ordered over the internet, and there's nothing you can do about it.

I suspect it would not be good business practice to rent a new warehouse, hire more staff and do everything else that would be required just so a few people could easily go pick up their new PC's
Personally if it was me, I'd rather DPD deliver it anyway, for a start, fitting one of those PC boxes into my car would be a nightmare, and could easily not even be possible

I still like Corsair over Coolit

I have an 800D - Its amazeballs but SOOOOO heavy - especially when it has all my custom watercooliong in it - i struggle to move it! - I wouldnt dare ship a PC built up in one - not to my spec anyways.
