    PCSPECIALIST No idea what I'm doing - looking for a video editing desktop

    Hi all, I'm typing this on a laptop I bought from PC Specialist in 2013. It's still going strong, which to me is seriously impressive. The only reason I'm posting this is because I've been flying FPV quads for the last year, and recently got a GoPro. This laptop unfortunately is really...

    PCSPECIALIST Vortex III - Feedback/noise when headphones plugged in

    Hi all, I know the sound on these things are awful, but when I'm playing games, if there's a quiet moment (loading screen, or quiet cut scene, etc.) I can hear this really annoying feedback and noise. It happens no matter what headphones/earphones I'm using. Any ideas? Thanks

I'll be installing W7 from an external DVD drive and I can't wait for the 7970m to be in stock so I'm having to lump up the extra for the 680m, which I'm hoping will be a little more...

    PCSPECIALIST HDD question

    Hi all. My plan is to get a 15" Vortex III with an SSD as primary and 750Gb HDD for storage. I already have a 120Gb SSD which I haven't used yet. Would it be easy enough for me to order the laptop with only the 750Gb drive, then swap this to the secondary slot and put my own SSD in the main...

    PCSPECIALIST 7970m ETA

    I've really missed the boat. I leave the country to live in Canada for a year at least on 19th March, I just came to order a 15.6" Vortex III but the 7970m is out of stock now with an ETA of 6th March. I'm guessing I'd be cutting it extremely fine if I ordered now and just hoped for the best...
