terrible retailer

nzxt hue + is great

deal is good but a lot of poeple have had issues with them as a retailer

Ditto.

I have had a terrible experience with these guys. Ordered an item but received a different version of it. They insisted that the item I received was the one I ordered, even after I gave them the invoice number for the original item purchase, until I showed them proof. It's been nearly a week now and there is still no response. Do not recommend.

I've recently ordered the MSI Z170A Gaming M5 with a free Cooler Master V8 cooler, Rainbow Six Siege and the MSI £20 cash back posted on here from this retailer.
Communication was prompt, they confirmed they had stock, delivered next day with all items accounted for. no problems at all in my experience.

Seen some mention that returns can be a problem but initially they have been great with my order.

First time I will have used them so innocent until proven guilty for me. They have confirmed they have stock and mine has been dispatched.

Just had this in the email :

NZXT Hue+ RGB Controller - Advanced PC Lighting System,Includes 4x LED Strips,NZXT Cam Software Control,AC-HUEPS-M1

Only thought it came with 2 strips! Even bigger winner

This is the motherboard id buy if i was upgrading from Haswell and this is a fantastic buy.

Because the poorly package motherboards.. they put them in a unpadded plastic bag with NOTHING else and no markings that it should be handles with care.. or was that just Me? -- But that is a great deal.

why do I need to have a LED lighting?

What's all the hate for Box? Never had an issue, even when I needed to return some RAM.

I got my Box order today. Motherboard and cooler 'packed' into a grey plastic bag. Both boxes bashed and crumpled, but in fairness, from what I can see the actual contents don't look damaged. Still... I'd be very wary of buying expensive components from this retailer that for some reason has an aversion to using boxes.

Customer service from them is awful, in my experience hopeless even for stuff in warranty and appalling communication

I will live in a 5 min walk of box. Have looked round but not brought anything from them.
The farther in law brought a pc from them even though I could have built something better for him with water cooling, but oh well you can't help some people.

Honestly avoid this seller they delivered a cpu motherboard and v8 gts cooler in some plastic bag grey bag all the boxes were bashed and the motherboard was damaged still waiting for 3 days to get a reply from them. Ironically enough they are named box.co.uk and deliver everything in grey plastic bags.

My Psycho The Rapist?

:confused:

I would like this board but im not interested in the lighting :/ Heat added.

Just thought I would add that although this is the cheapest retailer, those worried about shelling out all that cash with box.co.uk can get the same thing from scan or ccl for only a few pounds more:

Please can someone let me know the difference between this motherboard (Z170a Pro Carbon) and the other listed motherboard with the free V8 cooler (Z170a M5 Gaming). Thanks

CCL do include it at £125: http://www.cclonline.com/product/201067/Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON/Motherboards/MSI-Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-Socket-1151-ATX-Motherboard/MBD1896/

but the Scan one didn't.... sorry, it was late last night :smiley:

Really struggling not to upgrade to Skylake with these prices... Sell the NZXT hue+ on eBay for £40 and you've essentially got your self a gaming 1151 motherboard for £80-90 which is insanely good compared to the budget 1151 motherboards!

Saying that, I still can't see any point in upgrading from my 2500k @ 4.4ghz, I wouldn't see any real world differences when it comes to the games or applications that I run (barely any these days) and I've long past the days of running benchmarks.

I'm really unsure what is going to make me upgrade... But it's getting closer.

I tried to hold on but I couldn't. My computer is incredibly outdated even though it still works perfectly fine. I figure that if I sell my current Motherboard, CPU & Ram and the NZXT HUE+ that I'll recoup about £200~ after fees. This means I've upgraded to the latest CPU/Motherboard/Ram for less than £200! I have no idea why I've done this though as my computer plays Hearthstone and browses the web, it doesn't do anything else! Oh well...

Just as an update - I purchased £500 worth of stuff from Box on Tuesday at around 2pm with next day delivery, they state that if you choose next day delivery before 5pm, you will receive it next day.

Wednesday arrived, no email update or tracking numbers, I phone up and apparently the "warehouse" missed my order on the Tuesday and will deliver it next day. Luckily I don't have time to work on my build until the weekend anyway so I'm not in a rush. I wonder if Box will refund me the next day delivery fee though.

I got mine all OK delivered when expected by DPD. everything installed now, well worth the money and the NZXT Hue+ can do some amazing colour combos.

I used a i5 6600k in it which I picked up on Scan for 197.99 I think it was. Im also using a H110i GT water cooler so ill get that at 4.5Ghz easily.

Here is a pick for those that are interested

Yeh you get 4 led strips with 10 LEDs each.

now available at Scan also at £125:
