Who Is Finally HAPPY with their System?

[Mick@SCAN]

At least you can try something before you buy it!

I tend to impulse buy and worry about the consequences later

[MrRockliffe]

That's what I did, however sent back an OCZ PSU to scan and it never got to you, and because I couldn't show the value of the item apparently (according to Parcel2Go) they won't refund me, so I had to buy a new power supply and now I'm 110 pounds out of pocket..

RMA no. was 322008 - right pain. I wish there was a PC shop in Cardiff area (all the ones I have found are terrible)

It's a little off topic but I could only suggest providing Parcel2Go a copy of your Scan invoice, this would have the value of the item printed, I am not sure what other proof they would require but then I have never dealt with that specific company before.

Bar the noise this thing makes yeah am happy ......

[MrRockliffe]

Ah yes noise. I'm desperate to get a fractal - my Z11 is too flashy and lighty for my tastes now. A year ago when I bought it it looked cool, but now it looks horrible!

[Percy1983]

I will say the noise on mine isn't a problem, fans only ramp up while gaming, and when gaming I am usually sitting in a different room with it on the TV.

[koyejo]

Happy with almost all parts of the system apart from my graphics card(gtx 550 ti)

[Saracen]

I am - when it does what I need with the minimum outlay and the lowest cost. When it doesn't, I upgrade to the minimum spec that does what I want.

Simples

That, pretty much.

Which is why I take the apparently controversial view I do on SSDs. Do they make any significant difference to whether a machine does what I need? No. Ergo, unnecessary (for me) luxury.

Agree with DancesforUnix about deskspace though. It seems that however much I have, I could use more. And storage/shelf space too, for that matter.

[scott1541]

I don't think anyone will be truly happy with that they've got. I'm happy enough with the day to day performance of my pc, but not with the gaming performance, although it is adequate (new graphics card needed) or how much dust builds up inside the case

[Willzzz]

With the internals, very much so.
Could do with a new monitor and speakers though.

I want to get a new monitor. 1080p looks rubbish compare to retina display on my laptop

I'm truly happy with what I've got.

[mikeo01]

I think a rig is only finished when you're ready to replace it.

That's every few months it seems for me


Have to confess, just bought some G.skill 2133Mhz 8GB RAM set now looking at a new case.
I think I should get myself banned from the whole Internet and computer retailers

I definitely impulse buy but this is my last buying spree! Last upgrade and I am keeping it for a full 2 years at minimum

A promise to myself! ha

[bluepumpkin]

Not quite, i still have not replaced all my storage over to SSD (then i will be happy ... i think)

Just did this yesterday with a 1tb Samsung evo. Now have for ssd's in my little 540 case and can honestly say finally I am happy with my setup

I think it's the age old adage "be careful what you wish for". Through the years I've noticed that the anticipation of new stuff is always better than actually getting it in the end. For me at least it has often been a case of "if only I had <item x> that'd really change things for me" and when it comes down to it it never really does.

Don't get me wrong I love my rig. Couldn't do without an SSD now, for instance. But am I truly happier with my system than before my latest purchase (which incidentally wasn't an SSD)? Not really, no.

Thing is, now that I'm aware of it (and I've been for some time) I try to consciously avoid it getting only what I really need. In the foreseeable future that'll be another HDD.
