Gaming PC shops

[LeadFarmer]

Do any of the big gaming PC suppliers have sales showrooms where customers can visit and browse products?

I'd like to visit a shop to look at, and discuss options for buying a gaming PC

I've looked at the websites for Scan, Chillblast, Cyberpower, Overclockers etc but I can't tell if they are just warehouses or if they have a showroom to browse products.

I've been to the Scan shop, it's nice and big and you are free to have a look around and try their demo's of various prices of builds.

I was in Currys/PCworld Aintree yesterday and they had a section with gaming PC's set up for people to 'play' with.

Scan is about 1hr 30 away from me so thats achievable. Didn't want to dive all the ay there and find its just a warehouse. I'd rather buy from a PC specialist and get the right advice than a hight street shop.

Another vote for Scan, its not a warehouse (well the back is but the front is done out nicely with lots of demonstration stuff on display), you will have a field day walking round, the staff are very helpful and they can build a machine to your specifications

Overclockers has a showroom. I know because I went there to collect some stuff only about 2 weeks ago.

AWD IT seem to have some great deals that are appearing on Hot UK Deals and seem to have a showroom

Looks like both AWD & Overclockers are both in Staffordshire, which is a similar distance from me as Scan is. Just searched google images of Scan and their showroom does look good. I want to go somewhere to get advice on all the components we need for his gaming PC, so want somewhere that will give me the advice despite not being ready to buy yet.
