Pre-Built Perks
Both the Quartz and Mach 1 are pre-built gaming PCs. This means they are built to an exact specification, with no variables on offer. The benefit of this is that they are fully assembled, tested, and ready to ship! Without having to wait for build time, these PCs can go from your shopping basket to your gaming desk in no time at all! Well, some time. Instantaneous travel is not a thing yet. However, if purchased before the cut-off point, they both qualify for next working day delivery. So, booyah.
