You should have told them that you run Dragons touch, They may have given you a discount and built it quicker

hopefully it will be a bit quieter than your last one...
That was like a tornado the way the wind started swirling around your room when you started that up!

I used to find it really annoying that I had to turn the TV up lots when watching anything when the computer was on, lol!

It arrived last night but with the wrong card (or not the card i was expecting, as far as they are concerned it was the right one) therefore i cant SLI. Even worse i cant find another card to buy which matches that card. So thats me stuffed. I am now considering my rather limited options, so no new updates on the site for a bit because i dont have a computer

Well i have written to the manufacturers to see if there is anything they can do.
I am still looking for another card which matches my own and failing that.
I return the PC and then i dont know what.
Im fubar'd whatever i do it seems.

Update on the machine.
Its a mess and im sending it back.
They sent me an already used Windows activation code.
The graphics card was dodgy.
They installed the wrong sound card drivers.
And it needs a new installation of windows.
The motherboard was switched off when i got it.
And lastly the little neon light doesnt work.
Im afraid due to these circumstances i am now without a pc at home for an indefinite amount of time. As i am awaiting the refund and need to buy a new pc.
Therefore i can only come on the forums from work and website updates will be postponed until i have a pc:(
Sorry everyone

And lastly the little neon light doesnt work. Thats the important one seriously though, that sucks I know someone who just spent a lot of money building his own computer then the flat he lives in had dodgy electrics and blew the computer up 1 week after he'd built it! totally fried also the microwave, the TV, DVD player & all the lights! luckily scottish power are replacing everything
