Introduction

While the majority of readers of sites like this will be builders of their own PCs, there are some of you that will always consider purchasing a pre-built one. The reasons for doing so are multitudinous. Not only do you get a professionally built unit, but you get a nice fat warranty and in the case of many, a guaranteed functioning overclock without the need for all that tweaking and testing.

Some would argue this removes the fun from the whole thing and there is of course the cost to consider. With that in mind though, lets see what Chillblast, PC systems and component salesmen have got packaged up in their Fusion Switchblade platform.
