System Memory Installed
System Installed on Test Stand
This is where we bring all the components together for the first time. Rather than install all the
components in the chassis first, we install on a test stand which makes it easier to work on the
new system, plus enables quick swap out of any defective components.
First Boot!
We've used many Gigabyte boards lately, and this is one reason why. We've not had a single DOA from Gigabyte in over a year. We can't say that about any other manufacturer. We'll stick with them for now!
Windows Build Commences
Windows XP GUI Setup
Windows XP GUI (Graphical User Interface) is the second portion of the XP setup routine.
Memtest86 Memory Torture Test
As seen in the image below, Memtest86 has run for over 14 hours with zero failures. Beautiful!
Time to install the components in the chassis and complete the final hardware and software build.
Coolermaster Aluminum/Steel System Chassis
Here we have another fine example of excellent workmanship at a very reasonable price.

System Hardware Build Complete
This is how most companies ship their systems. With a wiring mess.
We will never ship a system out like this. This system is not complete.
System Hardware Build Complete
All cabling is neatly dressed and secured in the system chassis, yet easily accessible for
future upgrades or modifications. Now she's ready to ship, and looking better than ever!
Ready To Ship
The end result; a nice looking system with spectacular performance at a very affordable price.
