Hardware info: This “build” I’ve included simply to illustrate how complete some of these prebuilts are. Often times you just have to add a few cables to power up the drives. Often times it’s best to set up an ebay alert for a week or two on the system that you’re interested in, that way you get notified of possible deals. Make sure to take a look at listings that don’t fit your desired specifications as well. Sometimes it’s a better deal to buy the processor and RAM you want on your own and drop them in.
