Overclockers Pre-Built Systems

dexterrr · 9 Dec 2009 at 00:26

I'm thinking of buying this system http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-064-OE&tool=5. I trust it is perfectly built and very stable even at the massive overclock, but im not as tech-savvy as most of u so im here asking for clarification as to whether its as good at it sounds.

Im thinking of upgrading it with the Antec 1200 case instead, and taking the ATI radeon 5870. Does this seem fine? or am i making a noob mistake?

thanks

seems like a fair price TBH if u bought the parts seperate it would cost you £1,219.78

dont underestimate overclockers service, it is truly top class in all areas
are you not confident in building a machine by yourself??
The case is your decision, it is a very big case and can be quite loud
and the 5870 depends on what your using the computer for

Do you really need to spend the extra money on the 1200 I was weighting this up when I was buying my pc to, It's bigger than the 902 and has 2 extra fans thats about it.. and its 32 quid dearer.

Antec 1200 Review

I've bought their prebuilt systems twice now. They're rock solid, can't fault them

One thing though
Check out http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18046396
It's a system build guide, read it over and if you fancy it I'd give it a go

Antec 1200 Review

Whoa a review!! This certainly changes my opinion. Nothing I would have changed on the 902 made it to the 1200,

- Side ways mounted drives
- Vent on bottom for power supply
- no back plate hole in motherboard tray
- Fan switches all in the one place i.e at the front

and loads of other things I can't be arsed to think of right now, it's basically the same case with some extra fans.
