If buying without an OS, it will have test/not fully configured version of Win 10 on it that was used for testing purposes, what I normally do is make sure it boots properly and do a few tests just to make sure everything seems to be working fine, then the best bet is to do a full clean install...

Oh, I might need to get that, currently got one , but its starting to double-tap on a few keys now (its nearly 3 years old now - not sure how long these should last)

If it helps its not just PC's and Fedex having some issues - I got a delivery yesterday (through UPS) from the EU (Netherlands to be exact) that was supposed to be on Wednesday, marked with critical stickers (medical supplies), and on Wednesday it obviously took a fine trip around Castle...

Because there is a hiccup on the upgrade page - probably dependent on the original storage drives originally in your order. You'll need to phone your order through, I had to do that when I upgraded my GPU (when you do you might want to mention that that issue still happens on that page)

You will have to let us know when it turns up :)

PCS will not take machines back after the cooling off period (14 days I think, maybe a month if they're being nice), they have no use for 2nd hand machines You could see how much you'd get from eBay or GumTree for it though, its highly dependent on what people will pay at the time

The memory/clock speeds raise and fall with demand, so they can go up and down, my 3070 is sat at about those low values at the mo as well cos I'm not doing anything graphically intensive at all - but even during something intensive it will often go up and down as well

Generally they are Palit or Zotac branded NVidia cards, though sometimes they can be other brands eg. the one I got was a Gigabyte (mine was an upgrade from them) They are all proper NVidia cards

Meanwhile I think I'll be waiting a bit anyways, the ancient game I always play has enough issues already (DirectX9 errors you say ......), and don't know if Win 11 will cause it any extra problems :)

Apparently the phone lines appear to be working fine (according to my PCS contacts) but I've been told by PCS that @JakAttack may be able to help you

Message has been passed on about the phone line issue, but yeah could do with an answer to my question anyway :)

Is this the UK number btw, or one of the non-UK numbers?

@xSoulShadoWx I removed your spec as it had your Windows key showing, you really don't want that showing as someone else may try and use it and that may cause issues. If you look at this thread...

Theoretically there shouldn't be any issues if you lie it on the base of the case (if there really is nowhere else), though yes if you don't want it to move around you may need to be inventive about how to attach it (so its still removable), and just make sure it doesn't block anything (airflow...

Oopsie, I only just noticed this thread, the main game I play (Everquest 2) I have spent far far far far too long playing I may need help :) You may need a calculator to work that one out :) It's: [/spoiler] Reason, its addictive and I do enjoy it (most of the time)

No, but you will need to provide proof of purchase - ie the receipt

Hmm, seems like an awful waste to me .........

Most applications/programs will give you an option where you want to install it (there are a few that wont but most do), you will have to select probably the D drive and where you want it on the D drive. If you are taking about stuff like Steam/Origin/other DRM then there will be an oiption in...

I suspect it's because with any drivers it may kill Windows if something goes horribly wrong but a Windows reinstall will sort it all out, whereas if a BIOS update goes wrong or if its the wrong one it can brick the machine and be a lot lot lot more effort to fix (if it can be)

The prices have already gone up, the supplier I was with went pop earlier in the year (Green Network Energy or something like that), luckily the supplier that took over agreed to keep exactly the same prices that had been on my fixed tariff til the end of Sept (ie about two weeks away), so I've...
