Title: This is what I ordered
Post by: Rondar on March 10, 2011, 04:47:34 PM

What do you guys think of this configuration?  I already ordered it cuz my wife was getting tired of me stewing and steaming about what to get.  So I ordered this last night.  I ended up spending quite a bit more than what I wanted, but hopefully in the long run this will be fast enough to last years.

Its a good build but if I remember correctly the p67 mb was part of the sandy bridge problem .. you might want to check it out and see if it was corrected otherwise you might run into problems.

Hope you like it Rondar

when it arrives, would you mind possibly taking the side panels off and taking pictures of both sides? to show us how this company does with their custom wiring and what their craftsmanship looks like, please?

as I posted before, I have never purchased from them nor do I know anyone who has before.....

and I am sure you will let us all know how well it performs playing Aces High  :)


is the builders going to "tweak" the Win 7 OS for you when they set it up and OC it? or will it be a complete fresh untouched/ un tweaked OS ??? am curious as to this as well

I would not have a clue if the builder was going to tweak the Win7.  All I know is I paid them 19 dollars to overclock it 10% or more, according to their website.  Would be happy to take some pics.  Seems I paid a little extra on the video card also for factory overclocking.

rgr, I was just curious because of it being over clocked by them when they build it........ I sent you a PM, btw..
