Good evening everyone. My name is Robbie, and if you are a Steam gamer you may be more familiar with me from the TechieAnalyst forums/group. I am from Scotland (I am amused and delighted to see so many Scots on the boards here), and have just finished up at Uni in June, where I attained a BA Hons in Sociology and Criminology. I am a long time computer user, my father often jokes that I was born with a keyboard and mouse in my hands which must have been painful for my mother. First started gaming at the age of 2 with the classic Sonic the Hedgehog, and have never looked back since. In terms of PCS, I will soon be purchasing a rig from them that I have customised. It may not be the most powerful rig in existence but it will, looking around, play what I want to on a good level. Not that I am complaining, I am coming from an AMD Radeon HD3400 and a DDR2 2.33ghz Dual Core processor :D I look forward to getting to know the new PC, as well as get to know a number of you around the forum.

Robbie

Hi Robbie, welcome along. I am not a Scot but do spend quite a lot of time up there as I am a season ticket holder at Stenhousemuir FC.

Congratulations on your result and welcome aboard, but if your BA Hons had been in psychotherapy and criminology, you would be a lot more use around here! As you will find out if you stick around :)

Enjoy your new rig when it turns up. If you need any help, there are a lot of clever and helpful people on this forum, so just jump right in and ask away; unfortunately, I'm not one of them. My role is just to throw in the odd sarcastic/funny (you be the judge) comment occasionally, but every forum needs one....don't you agree? :)

Ha, that made me laugh and amused me. Yes indeed, will certainly be asking for bits adn bobs of stuff when the new rig turns up and I agree, every forum needs someone like you.

Thank you all again, and so begins the first week of waiting, I was excited when the status changed to first working day :p The guys on Facebook hinted that there may be some staff in today so hoping that mine is dispatched this week since I went fo rthe five day option (traded in some stuff to CeX to justify). That said I dunno if my payment will process today given that the banks are off

Albert Einstein theorised that spactime warps around any individual waiting for a computer to be built by PCS, though not many people know about this important part of his work on relativity. Consequently time slows within this warped area of spacetime and events that appear to take only moments outside warped spacetime seem to take years inside it. So since, as Scottie rightly says in Star Trek, "you cannot change the laws of physics" this phenomenon is just something you will have to live with. Your computer will appear to take years to arrive even though to the rest of us the build and delivery schedule appears normal. The only consolation to all this is that you will of course age less quickly whilst waiting for your computer to arrive. Possibly.
