    Hi Guys.
    After reading so many negative posts on the net,about trying to install Windows7 on a Ryzen processor, I decided to take the challenge. I read there was an issue also with Windows Updates.
    Needed a patch for updates to install. (Wrong)
    I sourced compatible Drivers with success. Device Manager proved that.
    All Windows 7 Updates installed without any issues, and quite fast.
    Fully boots in 20 seconds, shuts down in 2.5 seconds, so happy with that.
    The speed to load Browsers, is lightning fast
    All in all, a very fast Computer, for the hardware installed, and can't find anything negative about this build.
    These Ryzen Processors run quite warm.
    All software now installed, and running like a dream. Have cloned the OS.
    I always install my own Start impulse button on every build.
    Here the parts are expensive, compared to the US.
    At a guess, about 20% faster than my Intel i7 4790K build.

    I have tried many different Towers over the years, and like this tower, as there is nothing I can't fit inside.
    Such a nice finish, and no sharp edges, anywhere.
    They also sell a White Tower, however Red is my choice.:)
