Final Thoughts and Rating

If your current system has experienced a meltdown and you need a configurable high-performance replacement delivered to your door the very next day, Computer Planet has the answer.

The Computer Planet ND 4000 doesn't provide the sort of wow-factor you'd expect from a machine that costs almost £1,000, but as the old saying goes, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

If your current system has experienced a meltdown and you need a configurable high-performance replacement delivered to your door the very next day, Computer Planet has the answer. It's an admittedly rare scenario, but the ND 4000 will arrive swiftly and can do so with your choice of memory, storage device and graphics card, among other components.

We'd like to see an option for a CPU overclock - and indeed other CPU choices - and we remain adamant an SSD should be included as standard, but the default £950 configuration represents a solid if not exceptional build. There are more involved options available if you're willing to wait, but if you absolutely can't continue another day, Computer Planet will promptly deliver a performance machine that's ready for action.

The Good

Order today, it'll be with you tomorrow
Capable gaming performance
Fast Core i7 processor

The Bad

No CPU overclock
Not as quiet as we'd like
Some component limitations

Wowser, Hexus are demanding! A ready to ship PC with full customisation and overclocking, bit of an ask! It does sound like the ND3000 with an i5 and 660 GTX would be a more balanced system though.

This does fill a niche, but does show the market that building and delivering a new computer doesn't always have to take weeks (and can actually meet a delivery schedule).
I'm amazed that they could turn around a ‘custom’ built system in such a short space of time :surprised:

Agree with the review in that this is definitely a niche product - but kudos to Computer Planet for putting it out there. For some people this is going to be an absolute godsend!
They probably have a few setup ready tested etc and when an order comes in just change a few components. This is probably why you can't change the PSU.
