1190503 2011-03-31 04:07:00 Hold the phone, reading up on that motherboard it says


Storage
Intel® P67(B3) Express Chipset
4 xSATA 3.0 Gb/s ports (blue)
2 xSATA 6.0 Gb/s ports (gray)
Intel® Rapid Storage technology Support RAID 0,1,5,10
Marvell® PCIe SATA 6Gb/s controller
1 xUltraDMA 133/100/66 connector for up to 2 PATA devices
1 xExternal SATA port at the back I/O (6.0 Gb/s ready)
1 xSATA 6.0 Gb/s port (navy blue)

so that means i'll be able to bung in my old ata100 drive as the secondary hard drive?
old style ata = pata doesn't it

Yes its IDE/ ATA what ever you liketo call it. You should be able to run the drive as a secondary.

Ok i queried the warranties

and they said



The 1 year warranty on machines is a Full Playtech warranty that covers for Parts and Labour on the machines, ie absolutely everything is covered on all parts of the PC except software.

Yes there are some parts that comes with longer manufacturer warranty you are welcome to come to us for servicing that with the manufacturer but there may be service charges for us to remove/install back into the PC itself for you, or as you suggested you are welcome to go through to the manufacturer yourself for those warranties if needed


Seems ok to me, and as i said this is the best value build i have seen for what i want, I'll probably skip the second harddrive, and and get them to put the money towards a better monitor in 6 months
