    Sprialking,

    I think I have your pictures here, but am not 100% sure

    Can you fire me an email to philipp@scan.co.uk with your real name or invoice number.

    Thanks

    Looking nice

    I had a little more budget come through today - how noisy would that machine be with 2 gtx 295 in?

    I definitely need a xp pro 32bit dual boot on this machine - is that something easy to sort myself?

    Helloooo

    It’s hard to say really, what size monitor are you planning on playing on?

    We can install a dual boot if you like, we can just install the OS at no additional cost, if you want the 2nd OS updating and configuring then there is an additional fee.

    Regards

    Please install the additional xp32pro OS - i'll configure it at this end

    The monitor would be the nvidia bundle/samsung thing (was added to order after the initial invoice) - i've got a feeling it's pretty low rez monitor - so maybe second card isn't needed?

    Re: Spiralkings - 3XS Fortress i7 Build

    Not a problem, I have added a note for the engineer to install xp32pro

    The res of the monitor is 1680x1050, being truthful a second 295 would be wasted

    Cheers

    Re: Spiralkings - 3XS Fortress i7 Build

    Quick question, do you want both OSes installing onto the SSD?

    Also what partition sizes do you want for each OS?

    Cheers

    if both OS can go onto the SSD then great - 20gig for xp and vista can have what ever it needs (i don't know what it likes spacewise)

    Re: Spiralkings - 3XS Fortress i7 Build

    We can either use the remaining space or have a 40Gb partition for Vista?
