Got my PC about a year ago, and it was clear right from the beginning that it had the right level of performance that I needed, but I have had a range of teething problems (ie regular freezing, occaisional BSOD and graphics card shutdowns).
All of these problems turned out to be driver related, and I have to say that the tech support at the end of the phone from PCS was very helpful.
So after about 10 months, I now have a reliable PC with excellent performance.
So .... just want to say to everyone having problems, hang on in there, ring the tech support desk and it all works out in the end
