SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.Sandra is a (girl’s) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”.
We think that’s quite fitting.It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level.
You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.Native ports for all major operating systems are available:

- Windows 2003/R2, 2008/R2* (IA64)
- Windows Mobile 5.x (ARM CE 5.01)
- Windows Mobile 6.x (ARM CE 5.02)
All major technologies are supported and taken advantage of:
- SMP – Multi-Processor
- MC – Multi-Core
- SMT/HT – Hyper-Threading
- MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, FMA – Multi-Media instructions

The Core i7 4770k scores extremely well in this test, almost in line with a Core i7 2700k – clocked 600mhz higher (4.4ghz v 5.0ghz). The memory result shows around 25 GB/s of bandwidth.
brilliant system, im sorely tempted to just not bother upgrading my system, could probably get £600 for my own still.
Hate spending weeks tuning the build, this one looks very nice inside.
Its a nice build, but I agree with author id spend a little extra for the cosmos IMO, well worth it.
Thats a good price working it out, its a very low overhead considering the wrranty. My mate would love this, will link him later
Not on their site 🙁 im interested to see the configurations available as I would like a differetent case – such as Corsair. have you any kitguru codes for reductions in price?
When will it update on their site on 2nd? i want this!
Thats a very good system build. I dont like some of the systems you review, but this is spectacular. Ill wait till it updates and see about working out a different configuration.
Shame PC SPecialist dont do a special deal for kitguru readers, like 5% off or something :p
Hey, quick one to let you know that they will be available to order at midnight tonight! We have a slightly different launch time to the media 🙂

Kinda gutting the £1499 is purely for the stock model. Seeing this I thought I’d found my dream prebuilt system, a tweak to a nicer case as per reccomended. Going to configure the system seems to make the price jump up a good £250 purely for the pleasure of getting to spend more money on it.
Hey CH,
If you call our Sales Team, they’ll sort you out with the case of your choice 🙂
Great PC spec for the price but that case is hideous – I tried giving the sales guys a call to change to the Fractal R4 but they were only able to offer the CM Storm Enforcer at the price point, otherwise as CH pointed out. Putting an R4 on instead would add 200 odd quid on. Damn shame!
Can you make this possible to ship to Philippines?
looking at https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/view/Vanquish-Enforcer/ its £1702 in vat not £1499
PC is good for sure! But 100% overpowered! Waste of ur money! Dont buy it.
