Got my new build today :)

Sounds good, 1 problem though. OcUK gave me a returned Disk drive and it didn't come with the SATA 2 cable

I've put the computer together, and it's just sitting there waiting to be used. So annoying

Oh well, i'll get a cable tomorrow, get it working and then i'll upload some pictures that i took of it today

Very good service when i went to pick it however from OcUK. The shop wasn't what i expected with the ordering system similar to another shop that has a large book that you order from and wait for your items to come through.

Quick service, pleasant staff and a smart and attractive shop, so apart from the cable accident it's been a good day

I'll upload some pictures tomorrow when i'm finished

Look forward to it! Was the disk drive OEM or retail by the way? As OEM drives usually don't come with anything at all..

double and triple check your orders in future for these little mistakes

chrisxuk · 11 Jul 2009 at 21:01

Yeah, luckily this time it was just something thats only going to cost a few pounds

could have been worse and at least i know for the future

Their old shop in the Imex business park (i think) had a lot of eye candy but was much smaller shop front so came off pretty cramped really.
Theyve not been in this new place long - may not have settled in properly yet.

I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work ?
You have DDR2 memory, and plenty of it.
You have dual core CPU?
You have harddrive?

Must work : ).

I would be maybe hesitating if you had 512mb of ddr1 with an old duron and 5GB hdd but this ? This rig will run even 2 instances of this OS at once ; )
