Customer Review

After it previously was only one 1-star review for this article (as I just realize while writing this review, there are now two) I thought so bad it can not be well and gave my order to. After delivery, it turned out then quickly: it can. Even the appearance of the housing defies description. Just five and a half kilos does the computer including offal on the scale. For comparison: My elderly Scaleo Fujitsu Siemens weighs in the same class (and at a lower height) almost doubled and is stable up to the last groove. The housing of the Upgrade PC 508, however, is part of the cheapest variety with wobbly side plates, was saved at the at each screw. Unlike it is hardly to explain that the rear slot brackets when inserting a plug-in card must be broken and this process can not be undone. The same applies to the front receiving bays for hard disk, DVD drive, etc. A quick research revealed that this type of housing scrap in the Far East can be had for under $ 10 in wholesale.

This first impression was terrible fears sprout in me. Only minutes later, these were also confirmed. When he would be ashamed of his cheap sheet metal dress and try now - as a kind of compensation - to prove what a great guy he is, the host took the first pressure to the power button with a deafening noise start attempt. But only to provide a few seconds later the evidence that his parents, where it occurred, call him "Silent Upgrade PC", had even an understatement with this statement. The PC wrapped himself in a cloak of fact utter silence. In other words, he just went out again and had to move not by several other attempts to start nor cajoling to pursue its task.

How could he, he was come valvular born with some sort. One need not be PC doctor to make a diagnosis immediately upon opening the side panel can, that a processor cooler, which is attached at only two instead of four points and therefore enjoys as much freedom of movement that he waddled like the tail of small Bello , hardly to be able to keep a CPU at the temperature level required of her. And out of pure self-preservation makes this PC heart so shortly after each time the machine into operation a.

Trying the radiator itself was to attach correctly, as it turned out quickly doomed. At the bottom of the square bracket are located in each of the four corners each have a conical plastic pen. The pins are slotted in the middle and fed through the holes in the motherboard that are located around the processor socket. On the back of the board, the pins spread then, can not go back and thus represent the lower anchor points of the mount position using four rotating spring elements firmly presses the radiator core on the processor.

When my computer one of these four pins had been so greatly deformed in the factory assembly of the cooler that he refused to pass through the hole. Mind you that has no obvious. The deformed pin provides a strong distortion of the base plate of the cooler. This has the consequence that one of the neighbor pins opposes any attempt to remain in its holder and always seeks the path to freedom. Thus, the radiator is held by only two pins. Result see above.

I describe this in such detail, to counter in advance any possible argument attempt the cooler would be solved during transport. Here was clearly sloppy during assembly. Hence the startling conclusion that a final inspection does not seem to take place. Already when you first turn this fiasco would otherwise be noticed.

Only too happy I had the criticisms of> The bookworm DL
