A Very Very Happy Customer

My old computer was struggling to cope with everyday things related to work, so I started to look on the internet, I thought would it be any cheaper or more reliable to have a bespoke desktop computer made to my specifications, I'm not into IT & I don't know much about these computer systems, so I searched on-line & noticed a few businesses that dealt & advised on which options were best for individual needs, I checked all of the reviews including the customer service after-sales & this one stood out amongst the rest, so I contacted Direct Computers Derby S18 1QJ.
I spoke to a customer service advisor & they arranged for one of there PC Build Technicians to ring me. I received a prearranged phone call from Josh (Computer Technician) from Direct Computers & we talked about what would be best for my requirements, I knew straight away Josh was the right person, polite, patient, understanding & listened to what I needed.
We talked through different systems & what I really required to make my life that little easier, Josh worked out what would be the most suitable & we came to an outcome which I was happy with.
Josh was absolutely amazing with all his advice, knowledge & expertise especially when it came to quality & pricing of parts.
We came up with a new bespoke desktop which fitted my budget.
I'm a full time photography who needed to be pointed in the right direction & Direct Computers with the help & support of Josh have given me the better choice by far, rather than buying a computer from the likes of Amazon for example which wouldn't fit my requirements.
The desktop arrived within 10 days, well packaged which included expanding foam packaging for the inside, protecting all inner workings, I've got to mention this was presented with extreme safety of the components in mind, protection of the external casing was of a high standard, outstanding care must of been taken in packaging (packaging:- take a bow you deserve it).
All the paperwork, the detailed directions & a straight forward diagram which was easy to follow in the setting-up process.
The PC Build was absolutely amazing in looks & performance, I am really pleased I used Direct Computers as the end result was exactly what I wanted. I have since found out the computer was built by the exact person who I talked to at the beginning of this process, I find this is a real win for me as Josh the computer technician knew everything about what we had talked about (Thank you Josh).
Since I've bought this system my go to IT specialist is Direct Computers, perfect customer support, customer service reception team are a real credit to the business & total satisfaction is always their main aim.
It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Direct Computers, this has to be one of the best experiences I've ever had from any online business, first class company, first class business with trusted people who care, so anything to do with IT these are the go to people, just give them a call it's always free unbiased help & advice.
I'm one very happy customer, 5 stars & well deserved, keep up this standard & you'll always have loyal customers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Retro win9x great experience on SteamOS!

Jeffery helped me a lot with running retro games, especially Windows 9x games, on my Steam Deck. Using compatibility tools like Lutris and Wine for non-Steam games made it much easier.

MS-DOS and Windows 9x games run really well on the Steam Deck and SteamOS with this setup. It provides a great experience, and there’s no need to use an emulator or a virtual machine!

I would give it 5stars really helpful 👍

Great communication and customer service.

I ordered a pc from these guys and paid for the speedy build and delivery, sadly due to DHL issues it went slightly over the expected delivery rate. They were very vocal and explaining to me the delays etc. As an apology they extended my warranty which was very nice. The pc it self was very well packaged. The GPU is packed separately to prevent transport damage aswell. Overall very happy and will buy from them again. Thank you

Great recovery and professional support

Although my experience didn’t start perfectly, I’m very pleased with how everything was handled in the end.

There were a few initial issues with the PC on arrival and some delays in communication, which was frustrating at first. However, once I raised this, Joshua stepped in and provided excellent support throughout.

He was responsive, professional, and made sure a fair resolution was reached. I received a refund for the 1TB NVMe SSD, as I had already upgraded the storage myself, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free.

Really appreciate the effort to put things right — it shows strong customer service when a company takes responsibility and follows through.

Overall, a positive experience and I’d be happy to recommend.

I’m extremely happy with my recent…

I’m extremely happy with my recent upgrade from Direct Computers (graphics card, AIO, and RAM). My PC is now 4 years old, originally built by them, and apart from the occasional random RGB issue (which doesn’t affect performance at all), it’s been absolutely amazing.
For this latest upgrade, Josh at DC was incredibly helpful — knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole process straightforward. The only slight downside was a bit of a wait due to stock availability, but that’s completely understandable and worth it for the service provided.
I’d highly recommend Direct Computers to anyone looking for a reliable build or upgrade. Great service and great support!

Wrong item shipped. No tracking info. No Sender info. Poor Response

Wrong item shipped, but with no way of tracking the original order except the USELESS Shop app. Since there was no sender information on the item that was wrongly shipped, it took some time to realise that an error had taken place. When contacted, DirectComputers customer service said they would ship the correct item for next day delivery. Three working days later, nothing had arrived - until:

STOP PRESS!

Item arrived in the post today... THEY SENT THE WRONG ITEM AGAIN - Instead of the 2TB SSD I'd ordered, I've got another bag of fibre optic cable that is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot to me. UNBELIEVABLY odd mistake to make twice!!

Customer service are 'on it' now, and have offered an upgrade on the original item, which, if it arrives safely, will help to restore equilibrium. Watch this space ;)

We really appreciate your patience while we get this sorted and are glad to hear the upgrade offer has helped a little. We’ll do everything we can to restore your confidence and make sure your experience ends on a positive note.
