Great customer service

Great customer service and speed of ordering. They were able to provide me a laptop battery which Dell themselves could not supply. Will definitely use again. Thankyou

I can’t recommend this company enough

I can’t recommend this company enough, from buying the computer, the advice, the best price to now the after care which has been nothing short of amazing. Every issue (not relating to them) has been dealt with speedily, communication is exceptional and even with me not knowing anything about computers they have been patient and professional… if I could give more stars I would.

… Excellent PC and Fantastic Service

Very professional and helpful service from start to finish. The PC arrived quickly, well packaged, and ready to go. Everything works perfectly, and it runs games smoothly even with mods and shaders. Great value for money and amazing performance — my son is really happy. I would definitely recommend this company and will buy from them again in the future if needed. Thank you!

Customer Service was excellent and prompt. Build and Delivery was on time. 3 years warranty for parts and labour, plus the price point for a prebuilt gaming pc for all the components I could not find anywhere else, very happy indeed!

Refurbished PC? Practically new!!

I was searching high and low for a powerful PC to upgrade my Flight Sim setup, but the cost of buying new was discouraging. That’s when I discovered the Respawn range of refurbished PCs from DirectComputers, and I’m so glad I did.

From the start, Josh and the team were incredibly responsive to my queries, providing detailed information and photos that gave me full confidence to go ahead with the purchase. The PC arrived within 48 hours, and the packaging was outstanding — they went above and beyond to protect the whole unit, especially the glass side panel, and even added foam inside the case to prevent internal damage.

Although I knew I was buying a refurbished unit, I was genuinely surprised by the condition — it looked practically brand new. The GPU and all components were spotless, and with a completely clean installation of Windows I was up and running within minutes. I was also happy with the knowledge that benchmarking tests are run as part of their refurb process.

Even after the sale, the team continued to impress. They helped me set up additional user accounts via their pre-installed remote support tool, making the whole experience seamless. Again, the team were super quick to respond to my asks.

Excellent product, excellent service, and excellent value… It genuinely feels like I bought a brand-new PC at a fraction of the cost. For those not interested in a customised build, I’d strongly recommend the DCG Respawn range to anyone looking for a high-performance machine without the premium price tag.

I got what I ordered with absolutely no issues.

Very easy, simple and straightforward purchasing experience. My order came very well packaged in great condition and the delivery wait time wasn't too bad at all. Direct Computers can be 100% trusted with your orders, no scams over here! 10/10 experience, 5 stars.

High End Gaming PC

This is my second pc I've had from Direct Computers both of which have been gaming pc's from different ends of the price range. I cannot recommend these guys enough, brilliant customer service and Joshua will talk you through your selections and you give you the best advice depending on your budget. Their prices are also competitive when compared to the other custom pc builders. This will now be my go to place when it's time to upgrade again. Thanks to all who where involved in my pc build this thing is a beast.

No replys to emails, next day orders ignored for several days

Awful, what use is having a CS phone number when it connects to a remote person with 0 info and no way to get an update, I was told several times I would be called back yet nobody has called me.

Ordered an item and paid for express next day delivery, several days later still nothing, no replys to emails.

When I want to cancel becuase they have ignored me I suddenly get responses and excuses, they would rather blame couriers when in reality they just didnt ship my order.

Would not touch this company again, have given me several excuses as to why they have not bothered shipping my order for 4 days.

Hi there,

After thoroughly reviewing our records, we cannot find any order, emails, or correspondence relating to this review, and no further details were provided to help us investigate. As such, the claims made do not match any information in our systems.

At Direct Computers, we pride ourselves on prompt communication, reliable next-day order processing, and excellent customer service. There can be situations where they are delays with couriers, which isn't something we can always control but we always make sure to keep the customer up to date.

excellent service

I had been phoning around a few places requiring a specific build. Direct Computers were the most helpful and willing to spend time on the phone explaining how my requirements would be met. In the timescale promised I received a well packed, fully functional PC. It is fast, quiet and great value for money. Overall though it is the customer service that would have me returning more than the price. It is a service worth paying for. To the team there, keep up the good work.
