While making video i noticed the fan at the front of the case was not spinning because one of the cables was blocking it, gonna ring these cunts up tomorrow and give them a real fucking roasting tbh.
Unseated graphics card that wasn't even screwed to the back of the case
Shitty cable management
Going from Alienware which although expensive because your paying for a brand but i couldn't find a fault with my 4 year old Alienware desktop cable management was top notch, then going to a very small business i can see the difference now tbfh.
I now have 2 options keep the PC which i apart from those 2 issues i'm happy with and see if one of my local computer shops can do a better job with the cables, or go through the hassle of getting a refund and then starting the process all over again of looking for a decent place to buy a PC.
I'm pissed

Check the site and see if they state "professional cable management" if they don't then you got what you paid for. Some places are fuckers and ofter it as a separate service as it is very time consuming to do it properly. My neatest case took over 4 hours to get everything hidden away as much as possible.
As for building your own, yes this is easy. I have built about 10 to date for other people and 8 of hem have gone smoothly. Start with a motherboard. Check the reviews and find one that supports the Processor, Graphics Card and Memory you want. Then check the manufactures website for your board and make sure your processor is compatible as is the memory, the right socket is not always enough. Once you have the 4 main parts pick a Power supply and make sure it is a good one it is one area where you do not skimp. Pick your HD and then Case and periperals and get them delivered. Next is the shit bit. Put it all together. This is easy as it is like mecano unless you are a lumbering thunder cunt you cant really plug stuff in wrong. But if it then does not boot you are in a world of pain unless you have spares. I have had 2 builds go wrong first was down to memory easy to diagnose with some RAM from my machine but the second was the motherboard which was a cunny to diagnose and get replaced. With sites offering to set them up for you now I do not know that I would do it myself again. It seems it would be a lot easier to have someone else remove the guesswork and the single warranty call is great too. Why struggle to diagnose an issue if the fucker does not boot. Just call the mob that built it and boom job done.
