Heres a pm i got from one of his other buyers,

there was more than one problem, I mean:
1. there was no operating system on hard drive, this is not such a big problem but in the offer it was written like there will be windows vista, I get clear hard drive
2. my front panel was seriously damaged, I had to use a tape to fix it quickly, in my opinion it was not a fault of Royal Mail becouse it was good packed, I think that palicomp knew about it and he send me broken, anyway in the SUpport/Warranty Information and F.A.Q. which I get with this pc its written: "My front panel or side panel is damaged/cracked" and explain of palicomp: "This is simple one. Case damage cannot be avoided unfortunately it is something that happens every week to one to two customers (strange, they know about it and for them its a normal thing - yaziek) and even though as you can see we fully bubble wrap the pc, it can still happen" that was true, it was fully bubble wrap so why it get broken? They can ereplace your panel but you have to call to them, wait for package etc.
3. Front audio/mic isnt working, its explained like that: "These ports are hardly used anymore so we do not connect them up (...) you need to seek your own support" ...
Im not happy about this pc, it should have a fast hard drive but its so slowy that I cant belive this, its not my fault beacouse I have new OS, with firewall, antyvirus and I know how to take care about pc, I dont know what is wrong.
So think twice before you buy something from this seller, you have been warned :P
