    PCSPECIALIST Check my Spec! for a Trading/office PC setup

    What's your budget for the system and what was the price of the above (shows as £0.00 in that list)? You likely won't need Norton so I'd suggest removing that as a starter for 10.

    PCSPECIALIST Monitor repair - where? - London

    If you're still in your PCS warranty I'd suggest raising a RMA as @BlessedSquirrel suggested. Even if not it could still be worth giving them a call to discuss as they might be able to suggest a solution/repair route. You could contact the OEM for the monitor (is it still the MSI 31.5"...

    PCSPECIALIST With US uncertainty, more governments banning Microsoft

    Sounding like inflammatory wording there to me, certainly not a 'ban' just a move to use other software from my read of the article.

    PCSPECIALIST Cheapie pre-build not recognising hard drive after 3 weeks?

    Have you contact PCS for RMA/replacement drive(s) etc. (in the event of failure). Regardless of the price of the machine you shouldn't be put out for any failed hardware. If the drive hasn't failed there is a potential the data can be recovered.

    PCSPECIALIST Unable to Reset PC

    If you do need to reinstall, its really not difficult to do with the latest set of tools (install media etc.) that are used. Its not anywhere near as much of a chew to get it done as it used to be. Not quite plug and play, but almost. You could try to use an alternative sign in to get into...
