    Questions before buying 3XS system

    Hi I'm really interested in buying one of your 3xs custom gaming systems - I WILL be buying from someone in the next week, probably either here or Overclockers.

    My budget is around £1,000 and I wanted to ask a few questions:

    - If I order with just an SSD drive (60 or 120 GB) will the system have all the cabling etc. required to connect my existing SATA internal hard drive or would I need to buy this as an extra?
    - If I bought Windows 7 64bit to go on the SSD would it clash in any way with the Vista already installed on my SATA HDD? I would only want to run the W7 but just checking!
    - How long does it take between placing an order and receiving the machine?

    Hi Lec5,

    If you wish to add extra HDD's after you have received your system you can request that we route extra power and SATA cables for them in your build.

    Assuming you buy your new system with the SSD and we install with Windows 7, and Vista is on your existing HDD, there wont be any conflicts.

    Once you have installed your existing HDD, you may need to check in the BIOS that the SSD is set as the boot drive though!

    As for the time between placing your order and receiveing your system is concerned, our sales team would be able to give you a good idea on timescales on 0871 472 4747 or via email:
