It's not the brand name that matters, it's whether the parts are actually good. Single channel 2666MHz RAM is bad, whatever label is stuck on it.

This isn't to say that the parts used by CCL are necessarily bad, but that brand name alone aren't enough to work out whether a product is good.

the parts used by ccl computers are all well known brand name parts and they are not all low end parts.. for example the ccl computer i bought had a 3080 gpu in it.. which was why i bought it..

a pc elitist aint ever gonna buy a pre-built but for more normal people they can be fine.. to simply dismiss them all as rubbish is wrong..

in this day and age of parts shortages a pre-built does have some advantages..

i was looking at ebay 3080 gpu prices and found a complete pre-built for the ebay price of the gpu it contained.. the machine is now serving as a browsing machine and is also mining etherium..

the 3080 gpu has been removed it was too noisy while mining.. the machine now has one 2080ti card and one msi trio 3070 card.. it mines very quietly with these.. the 3080 has gone in my mining rig where fan noise dosnt matter..

but the bottom line is i was quite happy with the quality of the parts in the ccl pre-build.. and more than happy with the price..
