New overclockers pc

    Received this pc today which i purchased from overclockers.co.uk
    The thing is fantastic to look at. Unfortunately that is all i can tell you because i cant connect it to my monitor. The nvidia card has two dvi outputs but alas i have no dvi cable.
    I tried to use a dvi to vga converter but the monitor does not get a signal.

    I purchased a keyboard, mouse and a few other things but they did not arrive today. Literally the only thing which arrived today was the case and its contents. I dont know if the pc comes this way of the other half of the delivery will contain a box of cables, driver cds etc

    If anyone has bought a pc from overclockers could you tell me if it comes with cables etc?
    I feel like a child on x mas morning with a great toy but no ****ing batteries!!!

    Should post this in building and upgrading.. Did you email OCUK about it and ask them what they send with it?

    Why would the pc come with a dvi cable if you didnt buy a monitor.. No graphics card i have bought has come with one. You might get a dvi-vga adaptor if your lucky.

    The second delivery arrived today and it did not include a cable. The package was minimalist to say the least. No power cable either.
    I bought a dvi cable in town for 25euro and right now i am about to set up the new pc. Wish me luck.

    I set it up. Plugged it in and... nothing. I nearly cried. Opened her up and it turns out the graphics card was not connected properly. This was strange because before this i could see the fan on the card was working.
    I am in the middle of installing call of duty 4 now. Cant wait to play a game on this baby.
