Sorry if this is really bad quality, its because I'm writing it on my laptop which is a bit annoying to change the codes and stuff with ; hence why I need a new computer!

After talking to Aria for a bit, I decided to look around a bit for another company and came across PC specialists ; I haven't placed the order yet as I just want to make sure everything is correct and such, I'm on a tight budget and wanted to save 200 pounds or so for peripherals (another monitor, R.A.T 7 mouse, Razer Lycosa, Razer Destructor), so I got it to around 836 pounds ex VAT, so went to around 1036 in the end .

I just HAD to use some of my budget on the 5 day spec, as I'm desperate to get a new computer (my one having broke a few days ago). Also, I'm going on holiday soon so need to get it before then

Will place the order tomorrow, after checking here that everything is good and makes sense

Thanks for reading, apologies for the bad quality of this post >:

Also, I had a quick question: will the PC say the website's name on the side? As in the case; I saw a video of someone's computer from here and it said the name on the side . Oh, and are the case fans hooked up to the motherboard as well? And is there any option available for a fan controller (I couldn't see one. )

The specification actually looks pretty good and there isn't all that much to change really.

- You could upgrade the HDD for a minimal cost to one of the Western Digital ones - the WD Caviar Black would be best as its a bit quicker than the Caviar Green.

- Do you plan on overclocking? If not, then change the CPU to the standard i5-2500, the "K" model only benefits overclockers.

- Finally, yes. The Case does have our branding and pictures can be seen by clicking the link above. Just click on the picture of your case and it will bring up a new windows with more detailed images & case details.

If you don't want their name on the side don't get one of their own branded cases XD Get one of the CM ones or a different brand they offer.

The Maelstrom has the PCSpecialist name and logo in large lettering on the side panel (the one at the rear of the motherboard) and across the top of the glossy front panel. Funny thing is, I actually had to go and look - it hadn't really registered with me even though I knew it was there. The writing at the front is actually rather good - it looks "right" on that case - and it's more on the top as the panel slopes upwards. The writing on the side panel is - how to put this - not very subtle but if the PC is under the desk you won't see it and as the panel is removable, it would be easy to respray it if you really wanted to.

There is another option if you prefer - you can buy a case elsewhere (or use an existing one) and they'll use that (obviously - it's your responsibilty to buy the right case for the motherboard - ATX, Micro-ATX etc - and you'll have to get it delivered to PCS) .

Nice case, by the way. Cable management isn't great but the airflow definitely is.

They have plenty of other options for cases without their company name on it. My CM 690 II doesn't have their name on.
