Scam pc alert !!
This week we had a pc in from a customer that purchased one from a company on Facebook that sounds like Fred Flintstones shop. They paid £500 for a 'gaming pc' for their Son for Xmas. It arrived DOA. They brought it to us and we checked it out.
For £500 they had a an old 8th Gen i5 cpu. A GTX 970 !? a 2014 gpu with no modern tech. 256 sata ssd. All in a flashy case. Some 21" monitor. Even in this economy this is daylight robbery.
After explaining its trash and returning it, they are now paying us £575 and leaving with a
10th Gen i7 cpu
16gb ram
500gb nvme ssd
RTX 4060 ( +150% performance vs 970) plus all the bells and whistles of dlss etc.
Nice case
24" Monitor
Much better value for money
Dont be a fool and fall for these scam pc's!
Just because it has a flashy case doesnt mean its any good!
