stress testing with missing components

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   on the builder it allows me to say no to a hard drive and video card, which i was thinking of doing since storage is so cheap elsewhere.

what does that mean for stress testing? do you put in a drive and card and test the system, or do you ship without testing if components are missing?

basically i'm looking at the ENIX and pretty much in love with it, but if i supply my own video and storage i can get it close to newegg price.

	I just asked the team, and we normally charge fees for testing a PC without those components since we have to do the test ourselves and some of our testing fees are in the hard drive and video card (this is why you see such a price difference). To prevent any misunderstandings, the team removed the option to have no video card in the PC because it's very rare that our customers pick that, and the price we charge when there isn't one installed makes it not worth while, you're better off picking a very low end video card and upgrading it yourself later.
