New PC

[EvanDavis]

After 9 years of using the same i5 PC I have finally splashed out and bought myself a new one as well as a new curved monitor. This should do me for a while.

This is the PC

This is the monitor

A mate also gifted me a Steelseries Apex Pro mechanical keyboard

I bet you must be awake all night with excitement on the first night, were you?


Looking real good!

First day was spent setting everything up. 2nd day was a day of gaming. Was nice to play Assetto Corsa without maxing out my CPU.

Ooh exciting, and very nice indeed @EvanDavis! I hope you'll get loads of enjoyment with your new set-up.

Just my luck. I never go for an extended warranty when I buy anything new, but with this PC I did get an extended warranty. Begining of last month, a couple of the USB ports on the motherboard of this PC started playing up. 1 USB port on the case is dead. Scratching my head this morning, I remembered the extended warranty. So I headed over to the EBuyer website to the FAQ page, looking for Returns & Refunds. Clicked on the "Orders Prior to Monday 11 August 2025" only to find EBuyer have gone into Administration. So I am guessing there is no chance of me claiming under warranty.

Oh Noooo! @EvanDavis I am so sorry to hear that, what rotten luck! I wonder if it would be any good trying to get in touch with the Liquidator and making a claim?

Just nosying around and I'm sure you've probably seen this too, but just in case you havent - what about checking Credit Card Protection.

Check Credit Card Protection: If the goods cost over £100 and up to £30,000, and you paid with a credit card, you may be able to make a claim against your credit card provider under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Both the retailer and the card provider are jointly liable. (Credit to AI Overview Google.)

Best of luck if you are able to give it a go.
