    prebuilt for £949.15

    97% should work ok... just don't use too much of it... put the cloth ontop of the bottle, turn it upside down and then turn it right way up again.

    the pre-built machine isn't that bad for the money actually ....

    but dunno what the motherboard is which is always worth knowing.

    Belatedly, the NZXT Lexa... a better case? That doesn't sit right with me, sir. Mind explaining?

    It seems to me that they're overpricing it, since I'm pretty sure we put together a near-identical build with better parts for cheaper...

    Perhaps I should have been more explicit. Arguably a better looking case for those wanting a distinct look to their PC.

    In terms of cooling performance, hard to tell. The 912's performance is good for the current price now that it's been reduced by around £10 in some stores. But for those more into aesthetics with moderate cooling then the NZXT Lexa Blackline is not a bad choice. It's just a bit dated, especially with its non painted interior.
