“Beast of a PCFast delivery, coupled it up to a Geforce GTX 550 Ti and an additional HDD, and now it runs like a stabbed rat. Load times are surprisingly quick for a mechanical based machine.

“Good value & serviceBought this to replace an aging P4 box to use as a family PC. Nothing unduly spectacular under the hood, but upgraded to 1TB Samsung HDD for about £8. Only slight criticism: CPU fan a little loud (although not a problem).
No problems with set-up: just transferred the Soundblaster card, plugged in all of the old PC's cables and Windows 7 did the rest.
Delivery a day later than booked. Order placed Saturday evening, arrived Wednesday - still not bad going.13/10/2010“

Happy CustomerThis is a great value system, it easily handles anything I require of it. Windows 7 runs nicely and I can smoothly run many tasks at a time eg: Browse Web, run FM 2011 and Skype without a hitch. Fan noise is minimal and barely noticed, and the only minor glitch is that the front USB ports are installed upside down - which doesn't affect their functionality at all.
I chose no graphics card upgrade but on-board graphics handles HD video nicely on a 22" widescreen display.
I have no hesitation in recommending this system, or Overclockers in general.9 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

"Primo 6100i" Int SystemI bought this with the 60G SSD and love it!
The case is flimsy, but you are not going to throw it about. USB's are upside down but that is not important.
A cracking piece of kit for the price.
If you buy with a SSD then you need to give your hard drive a letter through disk management.
Great service and delivery.8 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Good systemGreat little system for the office
Core i3 is impressive for the price, shows up as 4 cores on CPU gadget
Apps load reasonbly quick, not as fast as my i7.
Case is a little bit loud.
GT 220 1 GB RAM is ok too.
Windows 7 64 is the way to go.
Really pleased with it7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Good machine, great price, fast deliveryOrdered online, delivered next day - well done OcUK.
Installed Win7x64 Ultimate, runs like a charm.
Not exactly lightning-fast, but easily good enough for general office duties, surfing, and (don't tell the boss) casual gaming.
Onboard graphics supports 1920x1080, so I may never need a graphics card - might get a small SSD instead.
NB Fan noise is really not an issue, and it keeps the mobo/cpu under 25degC during 24/7 use.
Overall, a terrific 'starter' system, with bags of overclocking/upgrading/expansion potential, or keep as-is for a cool and stable workhorse.
Maybe not for gamers, but for anyone else on a budget, this is a very capable and balanced system.7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Very GoodJust got one of these for my dad to play around and must say it's very impressive for a budget PC.
Came with a different (better looking) case to the one pictured, with the usual high quality build you would expect from Overclockers.
Not sure about the comment below regarding it being loud as this is very quiet, maybe came with a different cooler?
Only one slight problem: Dad now has a budget PC that is faster than my £1k+ gaming rig from a few years back!
For the money it's a definite 5*7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Surprising little beastOrdered on a Friday with DPD Saturday delivery. Came the next day between the target times listed on the tracking.
The computer itself has surprised me. I was expecting a basic, functional and stable little computer for light internet browsing.
Ordered with the GT 430 upgrade, and decided to throw RIFT on it, just to see what it was capable of. I got into the game and it was looking good, decided to push the default graphics options a bit, then a bit further. Ended up on Ultra, no anti-aliasing, with a seemingly solid frame rate between 17-25 fps. It didn't feel that low when playing, very smooth.
Just really astounded by what it's capable of - even though it won't be used for gaming in the long-term.
The case is quiet, looked inside for a sneaky peak (and to pop one of the drive bay covers back in to place) - really nicely put together.
My first order from OcUK but their reputation for speed and quality, I am happy to say, seems to be well earned.7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Build your ownAlmost a good system... The basic components supplied (motherboard, processor, cooler, DVD drive, etc are fine, but this sytem is badly let down by the case and power supply, even at this price. The case is very low grade with a cheap (weak) plastic front bezel. The front USB ports are upside down and can't be fitted the correct way up because of the location of the 3.5" drive bay.
Overclockers had omitted to connect the front USB ports to the Motherboard, and had connected the HDD activity LED and beeper witht he wrong polarity. As I had chosen the system without the OS I might has well have built this myself and saved some hassle.
On the plus side, installed Windows 7 64bit with no problems and everything is now fine - very quick system for the price. Also delivery was very fast and well executed by the couriers, DPD.
Strongly recommend a case/PSU upgrade and check Overclockers assembly...7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Nice Home PCNice home PC, very quiet , everything in the right place and its a lot quicker than my old P4 system.
It didnt like my microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard to start with (wouldnt go past POST screen with them connected). This turned out to be a case of it only working with them if connected to a specific USB port - no idea why very odd.
4* for two reasons
1. One of the SATA cables was faulty - BIOS couldnt see the DVD drive, fixed by replacing the SATA cable.
2. PSU only has 2 x SATA power cables so if like most people you have 3 devices (DVD, Primary HDD and Data HDD) you will need an adapter.
3. PSU is cheap and cheerful, I dont expect it to last long, but at this price that was to be expected.
Overall very pleased - yes you could buy the bits cheaper and build it yourself but if you dont have much spare time this is great.7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes
