yea installing the os is that simple once you learn how to get into the bios your sorted (should say how in your motherboard manual but it's usually the "del" key)

Brilliant thanks for all your help buddy.

Made transfer during lunch hour, cant wait!

Whats the story with them processing it? Bank transferred them 2 days ago and sent them 2 emails since yet no reply. They are a big company no?

IrishMetalhead

yea there a fairly big company so they can take awhile to reply because they mor than likely have other customers to deal with but i say the bank transfer still hasn't been cleared espiecally with irish banks because they try to hold onto it as long as they can to collect the intrest off it oh so i hear anyway

No charge on a self service transfer with AIB anyway... Says to take up to 3 days anyway but if its not through tomorrow ill be annoyed. Am definitely hoping to get it next week. If it gets shipped by friday I reckon DHL will deliver it here Monday.

well from my expierence with hwvs once the money comes through there very quick sending it out the most i was ever left waiting on something for them was about a week and a half probably slightly longer for yourself tho beings that they'll have to assemble it for you aswell

How long does it really take to assemble?

IrishMetalhead

a day i presume because that's how long it only takes me but then again there could be other pc's quede for assembly so i can say for sure =/

They could probably put it together the same they it would be shipped normally if they receive payment early . Probably won't install graphics card.

IrishMetalhead

according to pc configuator they do assemble it with the 5770 and some coolers like a acf7 so maybe the 5770 is small enough not to cause damage which makes sence considering they don't waight alot

any progress to update on sprrratt?

Sprrratt

Completely forgot about the thread completely. Ive just been so amazed using the new pc. It fits exactly what I wanted. Editing HD video in the likes of Vegas and AE without lag in the preview window. Even has twice as fast rendering speed as the old pc while using multiple other apps.

It came and i almost shart myself when I saw the motherboard box sealed as if it wasnt opened. Feared the worst that it wasnt assembled! That would have been a pain :pac:

Fortunately it was all assembled and all the drivers, utilities, instructions, etc was inside the motherboard box. The cooler fan I ordered separate wasnt installed however the case has a built in fan.

Thanks a million IrishMetalHead

IrishMetalhead

did you get round to installing the new cooler then? because thos stock cpu coolers are terrible

IrishMetalhead

Yeah grand, should be a suitable place to screw it tho?
