    Anybody used Beast Computers?

    I am looking for a high end Liquid Cooled Gaming system and came across www.beastcomputers.co.uk

    They seem to provide just what i am looking for and boast great service. Price is not too bad for the spec.

    Any comments/reviews? good or bad?

    Might be giving a good company a bad name.. but beast rings a bell as a scam or a really REALLY poor company..

    Re: Anybody used Beast Computers?

    I have a friend that used them, and its a nifty PC, there not bad from what i saw of the computer that he sold me, nor was the price...

    If not i got my computer from Demonic Computers, there getting a website sorted soon, from what i heard off them, i found an advert in the local saying just email what you want in you PC, and they will get back to you really soon with a price. And they are really good. just email demonic.computers(a)gmail.com..

    Best luck finding your PC..

    Re: Anybody used Beast Computers?

    From hanging out on their forums a little, they seem to be a genuine deal though their pricing is definately on the high side. Still, by the looks of it, it does buy you decent backup and reassurance that if anything goes wrong they'll help you get through it.

    I've seen at least one of their guys lurking around here before, though admittedly it was asking for help solving a problem, do a search for Tunnel Rat and see what pops up.

    Re: Anybody used Beast Computers?

    i used them personally about a year ago, top notch system and not had an issue with it. they do their job very well, i know from reading their own forums they offer a very unique 1st year warranty service where a member of the team will actually come to you to fix issues/replace faulty hardware !!

    they have grown alot in the last year so they must be doing something right, got a review in pc format in octobers issue for their small form factor pc which looks exciting.

    i keep an eye on other companies on the net and i must say i have never heard a bad word about them other than the usual my graphics card broke etc.

    Re: Anybody used Beast Computers?

    Hi guys

    If anyone needs any assistance regarding Beast Computers then please don't hesitate to give us a call on the number featured on our website.

    In response to staffsMike I would say that there was a company out there with the name Beast PC or similar and they were taking orders and not delivering. We actually had a few angry callers assuming we were the same company so I assure they have nothing to do with us. Still, I guess that sort of publicity isn't doing us a favour!

    Cheers

    Well guys the 'beast' arrived as promised and it is a sight to behold. It really is a work of art and so quiet..

    Scoring 16400 on 3dmark06 running vista 32bit o/s and drivers.

    The guys at Beast Computers could not do enough to help and i wholeheartedly recommend the company to anyone in the market for a gaming machine.
