Just out of curiosity...?

Do the hardware bundles, cpu, ram, mobo and cooler come pre assembled?

Is the cpu, ram and cooler all fitted for you? Just the cooler?

I was just wondering, as I imagine it would be quite difficult to post a mobo with a large cooler attached.

I believe you only have to add the ram and the cooler, should be good to go

I've bought a couple of bundles; they both had the CPU and RAM installed.
The cooler was still in its box.

Yup CPU and RAM will both be installed, Cooler normally has been used to make sure its all good, but then put back in its box for delivery!

It takes all of 30 seconds to install Ram and the CPU. Might aswel not bother to be honest. The coolers on the other hand are a tad trickier with their under brackets etc. Ah well. Now I know

Cheers.

True, but they offer certain bundles with a guaranteed/stable overclock, which is handy for those who are noobs at overclocking... like (ahem) I was a few years ago

Haha, I forgot to mention. That is of course the only real benefit I see to buying a bundle. The guaranteed OC takes the guess work and hassle out of it for some people. I personally enjoy doing it myself. I've seen a lot of threards recently, saying the OC isn't stable and they are having to do it themselves and ask for settings. Shame since they pay a premium for it.

CPU was installed on mine, ram and cooler seperate (and brand new).

Depends on the ram of course! Mine was Patriot with massive heatspreaders.
