SCAN Aurum Gaming PC | RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB | Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core | 32GB RAM | 1TB M.2 SSD | Dynamic RGB Lighting | WiFi | Streaming Ready | Windows 11

I mainly use my PC for photo-editing and video editing. I say "my PC" - I was borrowing my son's PC and it doesn't have a partuclarly great graphics card and it was starting to become an issue when editing 4K video.I knew I wanted a Ryzen 7 processor and an RTX 4070 graphics card, I shopped around and this SCAN PC was one of the most affordable but offered twice the SSD size than its nearest rival. I decided to get it and I am so pleased I did.The PC itself looks amazing, it's a black tower and not too ostentatious. One side is glass so you can see the internals, this means you can see all the funky LED lights inside. The internal config is very neat, SCAN have done a great job and everything seems very accessible so if I wanted to make any future upgrades, this should be relatively easy.The PC performs brilliantly, the Ryzen 7 5700X is an excellent processor and the graphics card has enabled me to use Davinci Resolve with no issues at all. It really is a very fast machine. The only issue I had was that the WiFi signal seemed very weak - however that's because I hadn't screwed in the Wi-Fi antenna at the back! Once I did this it had full signal strength!It was packaged well, the box was massive and only just fit in my car. The PC was well protected, I could have thrown it down a flight of stairs and it would have been fine! The inside of the PC was nicely packaged with bubble wrap too which needed removing before use. It's nice to see that SCAN take their packaging seriously, there was no opportunity for anything to move around inside the PC as it was so well protected.The PC handles everything I throw at it, it's amazingly quiet too, the WD Externla Hard disk I bought is louder than the PC itself!The only niggle I have is that it has no USB-C ports, it's not a massive issue as I have a USB hub.Thankfully it has 2 USB ports at the front which I use all the time for connecting my digital camera, it;s nice to have easy-to-access ports.Some have mentioned that you can't turn the lights off, there is an LED button on the PC which cycles through LED effects and can turn them off - but it only works for one set of LEDs on the rear fan, so even if you turn them off, the Processor heat sync and the GPU lights are still on! It's not an issue for me as I really like the lights!In a nutshell: A superb PC. I would definitely recommend this, my son is in awe of it and when the time comes to upgrade his machine to a new one (it's a small Lenovo so can't really upgrade much), I will definitely be looking to get another SCAN machine.

This is the first pre-built PC I've purchased in about 30 years. I normally buy the parts and build my own but, after a slight liquid mishap with my previous computer, I decided to try a pre-made one.I did quite a bit of research on various sites as well as on Amazon and narrowed it down to a couple of options. I decided to go with this one as the spec seemed good for the price and, I know Scan have a good reputation.Delivery was quick and the PC was packed really well (as others have mentioned previously). Once unpacked it was easy to set up. I turned it on and went through the usual rigmarole of setting up Windows. Once complete I then found out that there was an issue with the WiFI card. It didn't have a good signal - despite being next to my mesh WiFi adapter. As well as having a weak signal, it kept losing connection and installing Steam and various games was proving to be a problem.I moved it into another room and set it up on my dining table. The same room as my router, so I thought the signal would improve. It didn't. So I ran a network cable across the floor, plugged it in and it ran like a dream. I decided to take advantage of my WiFi 6 router and mesh set up, so ordered a replacement WiFi 6 card to replace the one fitted as standard.My previous PC had 2 M.2 SSDs installed, so I thought I'd remove those and install them into this machine. That's when I noticed problem number 2 - the installed motherboard only had the 1 (occupied) M.2 slot. So I looked around for an adapter so I could make use of my other drives - I have data on both that I don't want to lose. I found this to be a problem, as the motherboard only has one PCIe x16 slot (which already contained the graphics card) and 2 PCIe x1 slots (1 of which contained the WiFi adapter). This has severely limited my options, as dual PCIe x1 NVMe adapters are not so common and most can't take 2 drives (they're fine for SATA M.2 drives, but not so much for NVMe). So I'm now looking at getting an external USB dual M.2 adapter - not ideal, but it'll do at a push.Sooo... (slight) negatives aside - how's the PC?It's a beast. It's very fast, runs like a dream and the build quality is second to none. There's 32Gb of RAM and a 2Tb M.2 SSD installed, so plenty to handle the games I've installed. The RTX4070 can run everything I've thrown at it so far in ultra high settings and plays great. I'm looking forward to next week as I'm off work and will be spending a lot of time gaming!I contacted Scan about the network adapter and they got back to me straight away. They told me that they fit a standard card to allow people to use WiFi if they need to. I told them I'd purchased a replacement and they offered to accept the one I removed as a return and said they'd refund me for it. I'd initially agreed to do this, but have since changed my mind as it's not really worth the effort for a few quid - I'm more than happy with my purchase and they were super helpful.Would I recommend this computer? Yes, it's extremely well built, has all the muscle I need and is extremely fast. Despite my small setbacks (not everyone will have additional M.2 drives they need to install and I think the WiFi adapter may have been faulty) I'm more than happy with my purchase.I'll certainly purchase from Scan again in the future. Good PC, good price and great customer service!
