Trying to decide...

Could do with Win7 64 bit OEM on dans so I can get the £599 offer but they've only got 32 bit listed.

Don't get 32-bit, would only be able to use 3.5GB of your RAM.

Yeah just did a read up, completely forgot the ram part of it all. Bad news that. Why truck doesn't dabs have 64 bit oem but amazon and ebuyer do. It makes a difference to my pricing!!

...I just posted a link to the 64-bit version on dabs...

Oops, missed that! I was rushing using my phone lol. Thats awesome mate. I think I am gonna order this lot, will be the first time in just about forever I would have a machine capable of running decent games at decent specs


What does the OEI mean by the way? I know what OEM is but not OEI?

Never actually come across it before but a quick search and it means Original Equipment Integration. So essentially the same as OEM, means it shouldn't be sold to the general public without a computer (i.e. you need to buy hardware to have the disc but online shops don't care). Same as the retail edition without the box.

So I might have misclicked and ordered a few bits

Link to CPU fan is wrong. Although you don't really need one, the standard one runs pretty cool as it is.

Bloody nora! I did that earlier and was meant to change it. It's Arctic Freezer 13 anyway.

Once you have it all set up you will be amazed at the graphics of Solitaire.

belive me.. those liquid coolers are absolutly amazing. mine hasnt been cleaned out since i built it and must be fluffed up by now.. the temps never get about 37c ever.. even running stress tests it only gets to about 42c... well worth 50 quid.

I'll maybe look into that in future but I don't really need it for a start. Just a new rig will be nice without getting fancy!
