    If they bought the parts from us we would assemble for free.
    If they didn't, the charge would be $60.

    Neither includes the OS/install.

    Adster should look us up....

    If i didn't know how to build a pc myself the $60 (£30) is a good deal. Seeing as people save a couple of hundred quid while building a pc they might as well put some of that money into getting it done right.

    My local pc store charges £20 for an assemble or 'Full Maintance Tests & Cleanup' which basically means run Adware, Spyware & Virus programs and clean cookies

    New builds from our shop come with:
    -Zone Alarm personal
    -AVG personal
    -MS Antispyware Beta
    -Everest Home Edition
    -CrapCleaner
    -HD Tach
    -Aquamark3
    -Prime95

    We run the last three benchmarks (Prime95 overnight) and save screenshots of the results (we keep copies for the duration of the one year warrantee).
    The customer is ready to run and has proof of the performance.

    All machines are set up stock*...if the owner wants to OC he can, but we won't.

    *We do set up BIOS properly...it's amazing how stupid some of the BIOS defaults are.
    We are now also flashing BIOS on Venice/San Diego builds so the chips are properly recognized by the boards.

    Nice, just wondering do your collegues know you get alot of software for yourself for free on the net? Also whats your policy on copied CD's? I took in a copied XP cd and when i came in later that day to check how my pc was doing (needed a new mobo) they had installed a new mobo and were using my computer to copy my copy of XP

    How come your run Aquamark but not 3DMark 2003/2005, i always thought 3D Mark was far better.

    We don't need CDs at all, all our OS's are on the server and can be loaded onto the HDD before installation.
    The customer gets his (OEM) Windows pack unopened for later use if need be.

    If you come in for an OS reinstall you must have a valid Windows license (either the sticker on the PC or the booklet like 95/98 used) or we won't/can't touch it.

    Because Aquamark is faster and less boring.
    3D Mark might be better, but who has the time?
    Besides, 3DMark05 will bring even a high end card to it's knees and I'm tired of watching the whale-creature leap over the flying ship at 1FPS.

    Glad its not just me then, 03 still pushes my system quite a bit, tbh never run Aquamark before, might give it a go, see how big my e-penis is.

    What i ment was Do the people you work with, know you activly pirate software (thats if you do, i just guess you do because your on a filesharing forum )

    How does this server install work then? Is it like a ghoted image via Norton Ghost that installs? Sounds interesting.
