I have been ordering from TigeDirect since last 5 years and never had any problem at all, these deal is the best, Processor is fast enough for 3d rendering and using for an small size database along with WEB Server will also be beneficial, with overclocking its works good with no glitches but will be more beneficial to have at least 1 chassis fan included in the deal , but for extra $20.00 or $30.00 you can get one to keep it cooler with overclocking and constant running. Already have 2 of the same going to order 3rd one for my cousin.

I just bought this and I am beyond pleased with it. The only complaint that I have is that the case is not long enough to fit my video card without removing the hard drive bay, so if I add more drives, I am going to have to put them in the upper drive bays, which kinda sucks since they aren't the smaller bays designed for HD's. If it was moved forward about a half inch, it would be fine. So I just removed it. The board is great. The processor runs real fast. The only problem I had with setup (and it was a board manufacturer problem) is i didn't realize there was a smaller power connector that was just for the processor. The techie at the manufacturer said that was common amongst those of us that have been building PC's for a while heheh. The board manufacturer should update thier manual to emphasise that in big bold red letters hehehe. This is an awesome deal and I will probably be purchasing another one when it comes time to get my wife a new system.

The computer works great and is very easy to put together. This was my first build and I'm quite pleased with it. Only problem I had is that the RAM I got died after a month's worth of light use. Will be calling the manufacturer for a replacement. My only other complaint is that the sata ports are very close to one of the driver bays and it can be kind of hard to plug in. Other than those issues, I would highly recommend this kit.
Wicked fast; nice kit; RAID, not so much

Overall, a nice kit that results in a very fast PC for the money. My hardware complaints are minor: the 3.5" dive cage in the case is very close to the edge of the motherboard; making the SATA connections requires some contortions. And, as another reviewer pointed out, the power and HDD LEDs on the case are stupid bright (black electrical tape should solve the problem). My only major issue is the RAID limitations: according to the manual, if you turn on RAID "all SATA connections" become part of the RAID pool. I assume that means you can't use a SATA DVD drive (?). There were a bunch of other RAID caveats... something about having to install XP via a floppy for RAID configuration. It all seemed sufficiently confusing so that I decided to bag the RAID set up. Oh well, now I have 1.5T of HD space.

Assembling Barebones Computer Kits & Computer Cases
Remember when assembling one of our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits, or
installing your existing computer components into a new computer case, you
may have to modify the case to fit your components - This Is Normal!
Cases are designed to hold and accommodate a wide variety of motherboards,
interface cards, connectors, and other components. Because of this,
the case manufacturer designs their cases with easily removable panels to
allow these components to properly fit in the case. All you need to do
is punch them out with a screw driver or fold them over with a pair of
pliers to snap out the metal piece for your exact components. In this
way, you save the cost of assembling your computer, and have the
satisfaction of building your own workstation.
PLEASE NOTE:
Carefully read all documentation BEFORE you start to assemble your Barebones
Kit or add components to a Computer Case. Some components need to be
assembled in a specific order. Also place the components in the case
temporarily to confirm any modifications (punch outs) that need to be made
to fit that component.
Important Info About Barebones
Computer Kits
Our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits gives you the opportunity to build
or upgrade your perfect computer at an affordable cost, by installing key
components yourself. Most components included in our Barebones Kits,
including power supplies, are not pre-assembled (mounted and connected in
the case). With Barebones Kits, where we include a case and a separate power
supply, the case specifications may not indicate the presence of an attached
power supply (simply because it is a separate component). This is also
because you must install the included power supply yourself.
Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!
The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.
How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
