Well what can i say, simply stunning.
I decided to wait before writing my testimonial because time is the ultimate test and my PC passed with flying colours, in the fifteen months that i have been using my PC i had to contact Vadim once and this was because my BIOS re-set itself, no drama, 2 emails later i was back up and running flat out, some problem solving later and i found out that IF i restarted my PC with my iPod connected in a USB port it wipes the BIOS memory!!!
Splitting Hairs:
Hummm what else, 2 of the front USB ports don't work, i only found this out 2 weeks ago because of where i had the tower the front ports were inaccessable, again no issues i have plenty of USB ports.
You can see the glue on the front face of the reservoir and it looks just a little bit tacky. Some of the fans are starting to get "rattley" but i am a heavy user.
That's it, one problem caused by 3rd party hardware and me splitting hairs.
Now to eulogize about the power.
Before this PC i've always built my own systems at a budget so nothing prepared me for epic speed of the thing, re-authuring a 8.5Gb film with 2 passes and burning 35min(ish), my last PC took about 2h40min(ish).
When i comes to Gaming, advanced graphic options hold no fear on games about a year old (Hitman Blood Money,Trackmainia United) but some of the "next generation" of games (Crysis, The Witcher) are starting to show the age of my system.
Nuff said, time to send my system back to the master builders for some upgrades.
