Upgrading the RAM
I've had questions on this in our forums so I thought I'd add it here. To add RAM you pop the CPU fan off it's rubber mounts, insert the RAM and put it back on. To fit large modules you can move the fan to the other side of the CPU cooler.

Windows included?
I tried to configure this on their website and you have to pay at least £78 more for Windows 7. By default it comes with 'Format Hard Drive only'.

RE: Windows included?
Hey,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, RogEgde. I've asked CyberPower to clarify the issue and will update this as soon as I hear anything.
Thanks,
Mike

CyberPower seem to be taking ages to reply to this point.
I'm desperate for a new PC as I'm stuck with an Athlon XP 2500+
This was the first review in PC Pro this year with a PC expensive enough (and sans monitor) for me.
I want a quiet PC so the other award winners are no good, but another £78 is simply to much for this PC to retain its crown!

SATA 600
Does the GA-770T used in this system really support SATA/600 ? I looked on the Gigabyte web site and it doesn't mention it.
