Whats up. I received Optimus at 4pm today and I set her up. I had a few issues installing drivers etc but I got it to work. Firstly, the build quality is top notch by PCS. I highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of a new PC. Dont think twice about it, JUST DO IT :). The Packaging was excellent and everything was in the right place. The delivery from YODEL was also brilliant and there were no holes or marks on the box :D . Performance wise I haven't really tested as Crysis is installing and my internet is slow so that'll take 2 hours :(. The computer is a bit loud but I can cope with it I guess. A special mention for Darren Cooper who was so helpful with all my queried through email and helped me change 2 x 2GB RAM to 1 X 4GB. Thanks. My final specs are below:

Nice rig, +rep.

Do you know you can flash the 6950 basically turning it into a 6970..something to consider later down the line. Although this does void your warranty :(

looking good dude, hows the 6950?

edit - plus rep

The 6950 is very nice and it gets at least 30fps maxed out on metro :D

+Rep for you & your new baby.

Cheers

I heard of this but wasnt this for the earlier models or reference models? Thanks
