Hi everyone, I agree with all your comments - it is shameful to send out an expensive PC like this with out testing it. Please go and check them out www.pcspecialist.co.uk The worst thing is that Monday is a public holiday so I have to wait until Tuesday to get any explanation fron them. As far as the overheating goes - I do not wish to play with it to much so they have no excuse to say that my warranty is not valid. I did open the side and all the fans seem to be working - but obviously there is something wrong. Here is the spec that I paid for: CPU AMD® ATHLON® 64BIT X2 4800 1MB L2 Cache (due in Aug 05) Memory 4096 MB DDR400 PC3200 WITH LIFETIME WARRANTY!
