Find out more about this PC Specialist gaming machine in our full review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PC Specialist Vulcan S2 is a superb gaming system on paper, with better components and a lower price than its main rival. But have corners been cut in order to bring this system in under budget, or is a true mid-range marvel that can handle 1440p gaming for less cash than the competition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price<br>\nThis \u00a31,394 machine is built around two key components: an Intel Core i7-9700 processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card. You\u2019ll need to buy it direct from PC Specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a lot of power for this price, and it squares up well against its key rival. The Overclockers Hoplite originally arrived at \u00a31,479, but now it costs \u00a31,299 \u2013 so it\u2019s \u00a3100 cheaper than the PC Specialist machine. That rig relies on an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU and RTX 2060 graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Vulcan S2 is protected by the standard PC Specialist deal, which is a three-year labour deal with one year of parts protection and one month of collection coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Design &amp; Build<br>\nPC Specialist has used one of its own enclosures for this machine. It\u2019s called the PCS P209, and it nails most of the current trends. There\u2019s a tempered glass side panel, a magnetic dust filter on top, and a slab of metal at the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It looks like loads of other recent cases \u2013 including the Kolink Phalanx RGB used by the Overclockers Hoplite. That PC\u2019s enclosure also has a tempered glass side panel and a dust filter in the roof, but its front-mounted trio of RGB LED fans are more eye-catching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\n          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/battery-pc-laptop_Lab.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Laptop Battery<\/a> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/hotproduct.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Products<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vulcan S2 deploys an RTX 2070 to offer more gaming power than its rivals at a lower price.
