PC upgrade solidarity.


Recommended Posts

Hi! I just sent a request for information to CEX (UK) to know if it was possible to procure equipment from them from addresses out of the UK.

If the answer is yes, it's all good for you guys because I have been with them for more than a decade and can guaranty you that they are top of my list when it comes to service and warranty, I got myself an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti from them that came with a two years warranty more than 2 years ago and still work flawlessly today.

If the answer is NO, perhaps we in the UK could organize to purchase from CEX and resale in a safe way (through EBay for example) the needed equipment so as to allow players to build their own PCs at lower cost, in case of failure, all what you'll need to do is post it back to reseller.

I will update with CEX reply as soon as I got one.

What do you think?

Really? And what's CEX play in this that it still works flawless today? None !!
I have bought a 2nd handed MSI 1080Ti from somebody i didn't know which was then 2 years old and it worked flawless for another 3 years, i sold it a few months ago and even then it still works fine to this day. So i don't get your point.

Sure thing, but if it packed up, what then?

CEX give a two years warranty with those gear, that's my point, they test what they buy from people, I should know it, I have a friend working at CEX Wembley and he tested my RX 7900 XTX when my PCI_E1 slot couldn't get it to work, so I knew the card was good, while support form most manufacturers and sellers weren't really of much help.

People can buy from CEX with the absolute guaranty that it isn't a lottery and if their gear fails within the 2 years, all they have to do is return it for exchange or refund, I was clear in my first comments, how you failed to pick it up is beyond me.

ps don't reply for the stake of arguing I'm not in the mood and people who look for cheaper equipment don't need this sort of behavior. Cheers.
