Overclockers has come machines you can buy completely fitted and ready to go out of the box. Are these good value for money ? Or is it best to buy the parts seperately and put it together yourself? ie. will it save you much money>?

I think you save a good amout on these systems. They are pre overclocked too aren't they?

some are pre-clocked

just curious how much you can save buying the parts yourself?

I just specked this at £835, but for the £80 extra you are getting warranty + pickup etc from overclockers and you get the q6600 pre clocked to 3 ghz instead of 2.4
