System Configurator

ReDGryphoN

A little note of warning - read the FAQ page.

A signature may contain one or more images but they must fit within a box with maximum dimensions of 400 x 75 pixels (width x height) and with a maximum (combined) file size of 20k.

Your nice animated sig falls foul of these rules I'm afraid - yours is 150x225 Pixels & 193.81 kB.

Get it edited mate. (I've broken this rule a few times myself in the past :o )

Welcome to the forums! ;)

Reason we are not using different cases yet, is because of shipping, its hard to sellect a case that looks, cools well, and ships ok. The Antec 900 ticks all boxes, we are currently looking into new cases and will be adding them soon.

Well said Tizor!

I think the P182 is probably next on the list, its large enough, good looks - doesn't cool as well as the Nine Hundred but we can use for the gamer range anyway.

Key issue with cases is getting enough of them often enough.

Would like to hear from all as to their views & choices on cases...

Cheers

Speaking as someone that is about to do a build myself (using parts sourced from OCUK of course) I did have a look at the pre-built systems, and to be honest, the one thing that put me off, was the case.. Especially on the value range, that little 'thing' is just ugly to me. Hence, I decided to build around the CM-690 Dominator.. A much more pleasing sight, and while it meant a slight increase in the overall cost. I can absorb that.

Speaking of cost, that's the other thing I noticed. Looking at the price points of each system, there is a large jump, from the value range, to the gamer range. Why is this important? because most of the people that I've spoken to, and from a cursory look around at the 'spec me a...' threads, many people are looking, towards that missing price point.. the ~£350 range (about which I've got quite a nice little setup to order next week)

Thanks for your comments - all taken on board!

The more that we can ensure our range suits all the better.
 
One small comment - when my system arrived a substitution had been made which I wasn't informed of. As it's fairly minor (the psu) and the substitution was of equal value/quality (Akasa 1000W instead of OCZ 850W) I didn't bother raising it as an issue, however it would have been nice to have been informed of the change. I only spotted it as the power button is in a different place.
Really happy with the PC though - worked straight of the box, and only needed a couple of drivers installed to get me up and running.
 
Sometimes we run short of components and are forced to put the next best part in its place, sometimes for the better! IE we run out of 3850... so you get a 3870!, but the customer is always informed and im sorry to hear that you wasnt.
