Handbrake is a fantastic free program which we wanted to include to confirm findings with Media Espresso, earlier in the review. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.
We used the latest V 0.9.5 for testing today across all platforms. We encoded an DVD.MPG file.
A decent result, falling in behind the AMD FX8150, which is a couple of seconds faster in this test.
I have heard horror stories about their RMA process, is it bad?
Nice little build, and not much more than I could do it for myself. im tempted for my brother who needs a new one.
Excellent, nice price point. id probably move the GPU up a little and omit the OS. as I have several copies of Windows 7 here

Overclockers UK were bought out by Caseking early last year, since then there has been a major focus on improving customer service. You can see this improvement on Google/trustpilot ratings.
Its a good build, but i would definitely spend extra- that case is rubbish, its a cheap case and feels cheap.
Scan systems are better priced and they look after their customers too. fact.
I think its a good overall build, but I worked out I could build the same system with a HD7950 for the same price. it just shows if you can build them you save money. but I know not everyone can.
Just bought a system from PCSPECIALIST, and I love it. I always buy from them, had my three systems over the last 5 years from them. recommended.
