I am looking to buy a PC from overclockers but I don’t want to have to build it myself.

I have been looking at the Ultima Mosasaur, but I would like to have duel monitors. I am not sure what monitors and graphics card would work best for this.

I would also need a good mouse, keyboard and speakers.

Any recommendations would be very useful. :D
 
I know you said you dont want to have to build it but you know you'l get between 15 - 20% more for your money buying the parts and building the PC your self.

Its not massively difficult and you would have the help of the forums if you get stuck and any spec you want to buy could be checked on the forums to ensure its all good before you order.

Im not trying to rail road you into anything, just letting you know that value wise building it your self is the way to go :)

Thanks for that :)

Would those monitors work out of the box with that PC?

Do you have any mouse, keyboard or speaker recommendations?

Yes the monitors will work out of the box, they take normal DVI inputs and the GTX570 has two DVI outputs.

You can run a maximum of two screens with a single nvidia card, for three screens you need a pair of cards.

Do you have any mouse, keyboard or speaker recommendations?

Keyboard - Microsoft sidewinder X4

Mouse - Logiteck MX518/G400/G500

Speakers - anything 2.1 from Creative or Logitech.

Well i ordered it wednesday and it arrived today and everthing looks great.

Some problems from overclockers.

I had to make several phone calls.

The 1st call i was told to email some guy called Phil who said he would reply to me. After waiting 24 hours with no reply i decided to phone up again and i was told phil will phone right back as he was in a meeting. I got no reply from him again. So i phoned up the the 4th time and finally some guy called adrian helped me order my system.

Delivery was excellent.

When i revievd the system the only issue i had was that overclockers had forgot to supply me with a wireless card. So i phoned up today and i was told that a wireless card was not added into my order and they would not be able to supply me with one unless i paid extra for it. Even though i was told that a wireless card was included in my order and i specifically asked for one. I even recieved an email with it in a preliminary invoice....

So they told me to go to argos and buy a wireless dongle :mad:

Thanks for the advice "stulid"

Sorry for the bad spelling and grammar.
 
Well I cant comment on the wireless card thingy, but as long as the rest is as you were wanting?

Any pics?

Everything else abaout the system is great but no wireless = no internet. Going to have to go shopping for one tomorrow.
