Just a Reminder that we provide custom built gaming computers, my cousin called a few months back asking if her teenage daughter's selected custom computer from a well known and respected online supplier was a good deal?
My answer was it's not going to look like that picture.
So I built this with almost exactly the same internal hardware or much better, included a 27" screen and 2TB of super fast NVME SSD storage and a gamming Mouse and Keyboard.

SSD's (Solid State Hard drive's) are a Great piece of Technology, making your computer Boot and open programs very fast. The downside to this technology is if it fails: Generally it will happen WITHOUT ANY WARNING!
Often with NO CHANCE OF RECOVERY OF DATA!

We recommend if you are using an SSD drive make sure you have a backup of Important data, and keep it up to date.

If you are not confident in setting up a backup, we can help setup a user friendly backup system, that once setup will allow you to backup yourself when required and within minutes.

Beware of Fake USB pen Drives sold online from sites like wish etc 1TB or 2TB drives do not exist, they are usually a much smaller drive 16Gig or Less, they are modified to show the High capacity, but will just write over the existing data once the real capacity is reached, old story of if it looks too good to be true than it probably is. For example a Real 256Gig usb flash drive is worth over $89, so a 1TB (1000Gig) flash drive can not be worth $15. Even the reviews on such sites say they work fine, its a case of fake review OR yes the drive works but they have not tested it past the real capacity. If you have paid a very cheap price for a very high capacity USB flash drive I suggest you backup whats on the drive ASAP and test the drive to its said capacity, if all files can't be opened when the drive is near Full discard it and buy a branded one from a reputable Store.
