| 1313383 | 2012-11-19 02:55:00 | :drool Just got all the parts in to build two machines for a semi-retired couple. Will post some pics once built and all nice and tidy. Both machines pretty much exactly the same except one has a lower spec'd Asus mainboard and will use the onboard graphics. The other has an Asus GTX 680 2GB GDDR5 card, and an Asus Sabertooth mainboard, that will be used for flight sims. Common Specs: - Cooler Master HAF XM USB3.0 Gaming case (No Side Window) - Cosair HX850 PSU - 2x G-Skill Ripjaw 8GB DDR3-1600 - Intel 520 Series 240GB SSD (For O/S and programs) - WD 1TB SATA Black (For data) - Intel Core i7 3770k with stock cooler (They aren't going to overclock now but may do in the future) - Win7 Home Premium 64-bit - Office 2010 Home & Student 3 User - Microsoft 4000 Ergnomic USB Keyboard - Microsoft Comfort USB Mouse and MS Sidewinder Gaming USB Mouse Also just waiting on 3x Dell U2312HM 23" monitors. |

| 1313386 | 2012-11-19 03:27:00 | 4 minutes to install Win7, to a usuable desktop, via our network boot server :D | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 1313387 | 2012-11-19 04:07:00 | Photo of the inside of the machine with the better board and graphics card. Really like the Sabertooth board with the black cover over the whole board, you almost can't tell there's a mainboard in there. :D. Not sure what to do with the CPU fan cable yet... |

| 1313389 | 2012-11-19 05:16:00 | CYaBro, what would build like that cost? | QW. (15883) | ||
| 1313390 | 2012-11-19 05:23:00 | CYaBro, what would build like that cost? Around $3,500 depending on where you get the parts from and who builds it. (We only buy parts from the authorised NZ distributors) Adds up pretty quickly especially when the graphics card alone is around $900. |
