I have had my Pc now for about a week now, and i thought I would share my experience. First off I had done a lot of looking around at different sites, to see where i could get the best possible deals and services. Originally i did want to build my own computer, which I still want to do, but at the same time i didn’t want to be in a trial and error position with expensive parts. I had previously known about PSC before and another customisable UK computer company and both seemed to be on par with each other offering me what I wanted.
Both had good and bad reviews. But the thing that made me go with PSC was signing up to the wealth of information on the forums. There’s so much GOOD information on here which helped me a lot on my pc sepc.
Here’s what i got.

The website is very easy to navigate around and unlike some others.
The only thing i did request was to only have one DVD drive install as this was going to be used in an older pc, but upon receiving my new machine there was both DVD drives installed. This wasn’t a problem, but I knew when I would take out one of the DVD drives there would be a gap left in the front. As I have been quite busy lately I didn’t have time to phone up, so I used the live support online which was great. I told them my problem, and within a couple of days I had received the mesh to replace the drive bay.
On the whole I am VERY pleased with what I ordered and the level of HIGH quality service that I got, and would most definitely buy from you guys again and recommend to other people.
Now I know everyone wants to see the picture’s so here they are !
Enjoy
