Hi there


configurator_bnr.jpg


We've decided to re-activate our system configurator which allows you to pretty much design your own PC system from scratch with far more options than our usual PC offerings.

It is still in development and more options will be available over the coming days including overclocking, but right now for more details see this link:-

OcUK Configure yourself range of PCs


We have 5 base PC's two AMD and three Intel so you can configure a PC system from as little as £420 all the way upto nearly £4000. These are all gaming based PC's which is why the cheapest is over £400 as they are all capable of playing games, no onboard VGA solutions here! :)

I saw that today... Pretty cool Gibbo

Although you may want to offer more PSU options.

Right now minimum PSU is above what is needed to handle SLI/Crossfire.

Once the system is developed more it shall be set so cheaper PSU's are available but once you select an extra graphics card they become greyed out. :)
 
Nice, one thing,
When clicking the "Buy" button it comes up with a error that I need to purchase through the configuration utility, I would have though hitting the Buy button would take you thought the configuration process.
 
I used this nearly 3 years ago when you had it. It's the reason I had a £1250 hole in my wallet in summer 2008! :D

Overclockers built the PC with great cable management and sent it within a day. Just amazing.

Recommended for those who want a cutom spec PC but don't want the hassle of building it themselves.

Needs the option of using the stock cooler if someone doesn't want an overclocked system?

The stock cooler is default no cost option, except for Sandybridge system which use OEM CPU's.

When we adding overclocking options, it shall force you to select an up-rated cooler, this shall come tomorrow.

But now we have a powerful configurator and at the moment for customers who don't want overclocking this is ideal, and soon the OC options will be added for those who want an overclocked PC at a small additional cost.

Were thinking:-
- 10% overclock £15 +VAT
- 15% overclock £30 +VAT
- 20% overclock £50 +VAT
- 25% Extreme overclock £100 +VAT (Plus will default to best cooler)

That's even better choice!
 
Very nice Gibbo, best I could do was £3,559 though :P

I think you should add in the price you're actually paying for each item somewhere in the boxes, just so you know how much each item is. I also think you should expand not just to gaming rigs, I regularly buy new PC's for people with businesses, generally I can find prebuilts that are a better spec + cheaper than what I can find, buying from a competitor has been nice, but if I could choose what I want in it, I'd much prefer to buy from OcUK
 
That sounds reasonable on the prices Gibbo and i agree with it.

I would say a bit more case choice/psu choices but you guys probably know that and just added the configurator to the site for now to get things going.

Cases we can probably easily add a few more. :)

PSU were a lot more careful with, a lot don't have enough connectors or are just not of a good enough quality. With the Corsair in general they are rock solid and have the lowest RMA rates. :)
 
Hi just priced up a comp, and then indivually priced it, your charging 140 ish for the building of the pc? im trying to work out if thats good value or not.

Yeah we can look at it, but the only major difference would be adding a default onboard VGA no cost option to reduce price which we could do to all those Gaming PC's and just rename them.

At the moment were calling them Gaming simply as thats our niche and what were known for, if the configurator takes off we will expand it with more classes of systems. :)

The build charges range from £40 - £80, none of them have a charge of higher than that. Which is perfectly reasonably for two reasons, labour charge per hour, going rate is £40 +VAT then the fact our systems have an onsite collect warranty. :)

Additional charges will come from RAID setups, OC settings etc. But at the moment we only have RAID options.

Sounds possible you may have missed an item out that is in the configurator list such as motherboard possibly, as not all of them allow you to select mainboard but it is listed on the right in the detailed system specification.
 
Which Coolermaster case is that on the logo :D?

Edit: Just realised its the 932 with pretty lights in :)

I was about to suggest this as well.

It would also be nice to have this as an option:
