The hardware is built directly into the configuration that you selected, to ensure that all settings and configuration is tailored to your customised gaming machine. Even the operating system and drivers are installed without the use of automated script installers; ensuring that the end result is as good as, or likely better than, if you had done it yourself at home.<\/p>\n<p>To showcase this, we decided to take some photos of the start, middle and end of the build process. The header image already contains an image of typical hardware components utilised inside a PC ( note that the PC case is not in the image, purely because of its size).
