Mine came wrapped in a static proof bag, inside a foam box, inside a cardboard box, placed inside a bigger box packed with shipping peanuts. I almost thought they sent me a bar of gold.

I'll probably just use the box mine is coming in tomorrow. I didn't think I would ever resell any of this when I built so I kept the box with no packaging inside

Question: Building a PC for business purposes and gaming is secondary (tho it will be powerful enough). Should I just get the cheapest case with enough space for my money?

Hey bud...funny story. I added that second CPU to that server today and when I did...server WOULD NOT BOOT UP. Turns out, the server they sent me had a faulty mobo and the second cpu slot was no good. Fortunately I have a good vendor and the sent a courier to pick up, repair, and return my server....that I need built before COB tomorrow

Luckily I kept all the hard drives b/c I already built that bastard

I'm trying to boot from USB to put a copy of Windows 7 on my new PC, but i'm running into some issues:

1.) I'm trying to use Rufus but the only thing it's letting me to do is format the USB Drive

2.) When trying to copy over the 4 GB .iso file of Windows 7 to my 16 GB USB drive, it keeps saying "the file is too large for the destination file system"


Any help would be greatly appreciated

Try using the Windows tool instead of Rufus then:
