Guys they would be losing £200 based on the CPU price alone!!

We ain't going to receive this PC !!

As much as I'd like to think we will !

I guess we just have to hope that some might get built and shipped before someone notices the clanger.

Yeah, we will just have to hope. However as so many people will be ordering it, they are bound to question what is going on. We may get lucky, fortune favours the brave (but also laughs at the stupid )

Well - it behooves us to NOT mention this generally.

If there are only a few orders being processed we might get away with it.

If they get flooded with orders then we're stuffed.

Oh, and according to the site they are pre-built in stock, so......


For those who HAVE ordered: What is your order status?

As a brief search shows this is mentioned on several other sites as well as here i really doubt that the orders will be dispatched. In fact if they are i'll sell the 2nd one to hux309 at a small premium (rather than what it'd really fetch).

Looks like the party's over, ocuk have twigged.

Hi there

Nope the price is not real!

Its actually £1899+VAT and the systems I have access too show it as this price. There is nothing I can do at present but anyone placing orders for one won't get one and the problem will be resolved soon or later once our system guys find out why this is happening.

Oh well, it was good while the excitement lasted. Saves me the effort of breaking it for parts. Even if I was going to keep it I would have to rebuild it. The case looks awful (imo), and would need some proper silencing work doing to it to make it quiet
