Question 2

What brand are are the internal HDDs and SSDs?

Accepted Answer

When I bought the system there is no SSD, which I didn't realize because the other machines in this class had SSD's. The provided spindle drive is identified as a Toshiba DT01ACA200 by the OS. Still a great system, although the CPU cooler fan started making a bearing noise in about a week after I bought it. Replaced it out of pocket instead of going through the warranty hoops.

Question 5

dimensions of the console?

Accepted Answer

It's about 17 inches tall and 20 inches front to back. Around 8 inches wide. It's as accurate as I can be atm cause I do not have a unit of measurement other than using my phones height as a measurement. Give or take an inch from any of my measurements.

Question 6

I want to use this as a Photoshop (CS5) / work machine (Office Pro, GoToMeeting, heavy internet use, lots of multitasking, using multiple monitors, displayfusion, startmenu x, poss. future video editing). Anybody using it for this, too? I got a quote from our IT company for an i5 with onboard HP 4600 graphics and 12Gb of RAM, 240 watt power supply but I just don't think it will cut it (and for nearly the same price as this, to top it off). Selling points on this machine for heavy work use (and no gaming)?

Accepted Answer

I'm a multitasking multimonitor user here with similar software to what you listed above. Photoshop runs great, though I'm not a huge graphic designer I can tell its faster then on my old PC. I'm always coding on one monitor and browsing the web in the other. On your list above intense  video editing could possibly be the only thing that would challenge this PC.  Can you code, browse the web, and edit photos with less hardware? Yes, but I like to have power at my command.

Question 7

How many Internal SATA ports does this have?

(Thanks)

Accepted Answer

The motherboard is a MSI X79A-GD45 Plus.  It has two SATAIII 6Gb/s ports and four SATAII 3Gb/s ports.

Question 8

What are the tower's specs? How many fans does it support, what fans does it come with, and is it compatible with liquid cooling?

Accepted Answer

It comes with a water cooling unit on it. It's an asetek 510lc. The water cooling unit isn't the best. It will keep your temps fairly low. I would recommend buying another cooling device if you plan on overclocking. The computer has 1 frontal fan (where the red led in the picture is) and another fan on the water cooling radiator. It supports two 160mm fans in the top, another in the bottom.
