Few pics:
Bad quality due to being taken off iPad! However you can see from the photos the padding and the effot that goings into protecting your PC! (HQ photos with second part of review).
PCSPECIALIST Service:
Ok, first part will be on the pcspecialist service. I ordered my PC on Sunday the 4th of December. It arrived early on Friday the 9th, a speedy 5 day service. Bearing in mind this was a standard delivery and build. Five days, that's quicker than it took for a PC shop to give me a quote!
Throughout the whole process I received daily emails on the progress of my PC. Even though the GPU I ordered was out of stock, they emailed me notifying me of this and they received it the next day. The delivery was updated on the DPD website every hour and I was told the day of delivery, I also received a email notifying me of the expected time of delivery.
Overall service rating 10/10, I was kept updated throughout and it arrived 7 days earlier than expected!

Big thanks to these guys!
PC quality:
I have so far spent 3 hours on my PC. I was aloud to test it but it is a Christmas present so I cant use it again at until Christmas.
After a few days I edit this review to include the average FPS it gets in Skyrim and other games.
