PC arrived with Windows unactivated and no reply to support emails.
“Windows hadn't been activated.”
Customer reviews of Gladiator PC show consistent praise for build quality — tidy cable management, solid component choice and quiet operation are frequently mentioned. Many buyers value the competitive pricing and configurator options, and several report repeat purchases. Recurring negative points relate to delivery tracking, occasional courier issues and some lapses in post-sale communication; one reviewer reported an unactivated Windows installation and slow replies. Before ordering, confirm expected delivery method and tracking, and ask specifically about software activation and final system testing to reduce risk of post-delivery setup work.

When you get to the point where you need to start using things like liquid cooling and multiple graphics cards, things get a lot more complicated. I've been a gamer for a long time, and I've built my own systems in the past when everything was much easier.
After viewing everything that was involved in the process of building a computer from the ground up, I chose to go with a pre-built system rather than risk it all by building my own.
The GladiatorRTX 30 series comes into play in this situation. Gladiator PC online company has a huge selection of options, and they are extremely reasonably priced. I definitely recommend them.
