Well, I'm finally back with some thoughts and photos. Its taken so long to do this since the day that the PC arrived, because I've been distracted by its SHEER AWESOME.

Everything was simple to set up and has worked like a dream. The PC is fantastic. I love the look of the case, and the 27" is very nice, though there is perhaps a little more light bleed around the edges when showing black than I would have expected. Its not a major problem though.

Loving BF4 on ultimate settings at 2560 x 1440 which the 780 Ti has no trouble with, and the sounds of the fans etc is very reasonable.

Packaging and instructions etc were very good and clear. Only thing I'm not sure about is the mesh / grill in one of the pictures below. This came wrapped in its own properly sized cardboard box seperate to the actual PC, and I can't see where on the case it either came from or is meant to go, or if I need to hold on to it for anything. Could anyone enlighten me?

Overall, very pleased and impressed. I had a horrific run of bad luck with high end PCs around 5 years ago, where I got 3 duds from 3 different companies in the space of 6 months, with woeful support and customer services, and I swore I was done with PC gaming, so I was a little nervous and apprehensive with this purchase, but have been delighted so far.

Some pics of the PC:

And lastly - what's this for?

Nice PC, same case as mine :) the mesh can be used instead of the plastic window for more airflow can also add some fans onto the mesh too.
