Just ordered

[weare one]

I just ordered this spec last Tues 3/07/2018 and so its now its 3rd working day of processing.

I'm not a gamer so the cpu is probably overkill but I can't wait for it to arrive especially as my 11 year old Asus P5W DH is literally on its last legs.

I'm a tad nervous as its coming over to Ireland so I will definitely be keeping every thing crossed that it arrives safely.

My new 27 inch monitor is also on its way today via Amazon.

Many thanks to Oussebon who has given me a lot of help and advice in other threads in helping me to make my mind up unk:

My AOC 27 inch Q2778VQE arrived today.....and WOW what a difference to my old faithful 17inch.

Don't worry about shipping to Ireland, I had both my PCS desktop shipped to Crete - it arrived perfectly fine.

Thanks for letting me know ubuysa that's reassuring and I trust you are very happy with your systems

I had a little trouble with my credit card payment but that was down to me using my UK registered card (I should have used my Irish euro card) but a few emails and phone calls and PCS were very helpful and all ok now :yes:

Now you've got the hard bit.... the waiting!!!

List the ways you cope, we've had some good ones over the years.

Spend even more money....my new 27 inch screen has arrived and I'm waiting for this months PC Pro magazine to come out on 12th as they have new reviews on printers :tooth:

As for the wait…………….its almost as bad as waiting for the missus to give birth :yes:

Ha ha :yes: Too true!

 

[Oussebon]

There are some pretty ridiculous cashback offers on printers around at the moment, presumably as people like HP try to clear older stock. e.g. the HP 8710 only seems to have a £30 cashback at the moment, but not long ago I think it was £70 - making a £120 AIO printer £50. How much the cashback is tends to change each calendar month.

Lols... unless there’s an issue in testing it usually flies through now... you’re almost there.
