    I knew Zoostrom are cheap, but I can't comment further as I move away from pre-build for years.
    I get components and assemble myself.

    I had HP in office. PSU gone in 2 years time.

    My mum had Acer SFF, PSU gone in year 3 and take motherboard with it. A headache to repair due to non-standard size.

    That Zoostorm with standard microATX tower, it would be easy to replace if anything go wrong.

    I expect PC specialist will give you decent PSU instead of piece of junk provided by branded PC.

    By the way, it would cost about £350 buy similar components with decent PSU and assemble myself.
