Customer Reviews
Very impressive - perhaps even perfection?
I ordered a QuietPC Lora system with an 8th Gen Core i7-8700T processor. Having built my own PCs for the past 25 years, I thought I'd let someone else deal with all the hassle this time! Having read reviews of this company, I had high expectations, and I was certainly not disappointed. I am so impressed by the product and the company. The ordering process was as easy as A-B-C - being able to select each component made things very straightforward and meant I could spec the system exactly the way I wanted. It was also great to be able to communicate directly with the team while they were building the machine, and they were so willing to make small changes and put a couple of cables in place for additional drives I would be adding later. I couldn't ask for more.
Having paid for a 5-day build time, the product arrived as promised on the 5th working day after ordering. It was very well packaged and presented, and the Streacom FC10 Alpha case is a joy to behold. The 35W i7-8700T runs so cool - at the moment CPU temperatures are sitting at 29 degrees - the highest I have seen it reach so far is 60. Most of the time the top of the case is cool to mildly warm to the touch. I was able to add two additional SSDs with no difficulty, as the necessary power and data cables were in place as requested, neatly wire-tied to the drive rail. Because of QuietPC's 'open case policy', I had no concerns about doing this as soon as I received delivery, and before even switching the computer on for the first time.
I plan to use this machine for all general computing tasks, also serving media, as an FTP server, some web design work, DTP work, editing photos, a little audio and video editing, and some dictation/speech recognition. To be able to do all of this in absolute silence is bliss after years of constant humming, droning, huffing and puffing from chassis fans - despite my attempts to quiet things down! The 'Clean Build' Promise also meant I was able to get this machine set up for all of the above in record time, as there was no bloatware to be uninstalled, nor did I need to clean-install Windows.
I have a lot of experience in building and ordering PCs and components, and have to say that this was probably the best online ordering experience I have ever had. The attention to detail and to the customer is second to none. I highly recommend QuietPC for all your silent or near-silent computing needs!
