“Very pleased so farpurchased this last week, I upgraded the the VGA to a Nvidia 450GT, which makes it great for games, system is very stable runs between 40-45c, it could be alittle less noisey - this is nitpicking at the price.
OCUK's service is sterling, it feels very well put together.
My only comment is the RAM, the board configured it to run at 1.5V, The RAM is specced at 1.6V. However will only change this if I run into any problems in the future.
Highly recommended.16/04/2011“
“Very good systemI had concerns over the cooling of this case. I've been impressed with it so far. It sits about 40'c idle and 50'c load.
It's quiet. It doesn't have a graphics card, so isn't suitable for gaming, and I doubt you'd want to put a graphics card in this case later. I was after a new system for my mum and this does the job perfectly and saves her getting ripped off on the High Street.
Came with Windows installed but still required first-use configuration, so had no rubbish software installed. Also came supplied with Windows CD, mobo manual, spare screws, various things you'd expect to have left over after a build.10/03/2010“

Excellent alternative to Mainstream BusiBought and configured this system as a replacement general purpose workstation for a friend.
Installed Windows 7 x64 Professional with ease, made much easier as the OS has full driver support for all the components in the system.
My only query was that this unit came with an Asus P5QPL-AM Motherboard instead of the advertised Gigabyte GA-G41M but im not complaining as i have always user ASUS im new PC builds.
System overall is highly responsive, and performs exceptionally well across the board, i would definately consider this as a budget PC as compared to my usual choice being the HP Business line of Desktops and Notebooks.11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

This + £45 + HD5850 = Monster Gaming PCI bought this PC because of the bargain price with the intention of throwing a GTX 260 inside and having nice little gaming machine. I asked over the phone if it would be possible to bump up the power supply to 500w to make this possible and they did and also moved it into a larger CoolerMaster case all for £45 - not bad at all.
Used it as it was for a few months and it worked fine then when I had the money I ended up buying the HD 5850 Toxic which after moving my HD down one slot fitted perfectly.
After a few weeks of testing I feel I can safely say everything is working perfectly, all games never ever drop below 60FPS on highest settings. Plus fact that I play games on a 1440x900 monitor is easily enough to compensate for the dual core processor.
All in all I highly recommend it either a efficient and reliable work pc or as a basis for building an amazing gaming machine on the cheap.11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Nice boxBought this for my parents to replace an ageing home pc. Got it with Windows 7 32 bit installed. Nice and quick and Windows 7 picked up a broadcom chipset wireless card which I installed prior to initial boot, no need to install drivers.
Am well impressed with Windows 7 on account of this, I usually run Linux if not on my MacBookPro.
Thanks OverClockers I am a happy customer.11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Great StuffBought this as a basic gaming computer for WoW with the intention of adding my own graphics card. As I am a University Student budgets are tight so I couldnt splash out on anything high end and WoW is a relatively easy game to run.
Anyway back to the computer, so it came preassembled with all the driver disks and windows 7 disc which made setting it up easy. The only fault i have is that there was a panel missing off the front just in between the power button and the headphone jack, you may be able to see on the pic. But for the price and given the actual importance of it, I honestly don't care.
Great build, great service, great computer. Hope to deal with OC again.11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Great Value & Excellent Deal!Bought this PC this week to replace worn out system! Was delivered the next day. Nice looking, lovely and quiet. Easy to set up. It's for a basic home PC to surf the net, store, print and edit photos, and play typical games for a middle aged Grandma like me! But, it's capable of so much more. First go at Windows 7, I love it!.. Thank you Overclockers for the brilliant service, great product and the nice "freebie"....11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Good system for the moneyOrdered this system (with Windows 7 64bit) for some friends who needed a new machine.
Came with motherboard box, documentation, software and Windows 7 disc.
The system was preloaded with Windows 7 so it was just a matter of turning it on and completing the setup.
The case looks suprisingly nice (for the money), and runs reasonably quiet. No where near silent, but no way near loud enough to be annoying.
The motherboard does have a single IDE connector on it (in addition to all its SATA connectors). Useful for plugging in any old IDE drive you may have lying around as a secondary drive - Wish I'd known about that instead of buying a new SATA drive exactly for this purpose :/
Only (minor) issue I had was the case did have a lot of finger prints all over it. Some isopropylene + a wipe quickly sorted this out though.
Overall good value for money.11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Great Performance for price!Bought this PC, to play games such as, CoD 4 Promod, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and StarCraft. I upgraded the GPU to a GT 430, and it works tremendously! Can't really fault the PC for the price, although, the CPU isn't the best.11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Great BuyI bought this PC a while ago, now i have over 16 games, and I cant run any of these on less then 60 FPS. This is one of my best buys. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new PC and is into gaming. Thanks OC!11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

A good basic systemThis system was for my Mrs who only uses her pc for things like Facebook,,You Tube,, Angry Birds so nothing really fast was needed. The pc is well put together and very quiet,,apart from if you use the cd drive,which is not very often. Had it shipped with Windows 7 64bit,,loads pretty fast and had no issues with it. I have a spare 4870 that I was going to slot in put to be honest the on board graphics is good enough for what my Mrs uses it for. The only reason I've not given this a 5 star is the delivery. Ordered on Wednesday afternoon,did not receive it untill the following Tuesday,Monday was a bank holiday though so maybe I'm being a little harsh.This is a good system for those on a tight budget. The proccesser can always be upgraded at a later date if need be.This is the second system I have bought from Overclockers and once again am very pleased with it.11 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review?
