Customers wishing to purchase a model with a different operating system, or wishing to purchase without having an operating system supplied, should specify this on their quotation request form.

The default model is supplied with the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system.

The hard-disk-drive fitted to the default model is a 500GB SATAII disk with 16MB buffer and optimum 7200 RPM spin-speed.

Customers wishing to purchase a model with more disk space, RAID configuration (2 or more HDDs), or a combination of both, should indicate this on their quotation

A USB/PS2 keyboard, optical mouse, and USB speakers, are supplied currently as default; although this may vary with time and availability of supplies.

Customers wishing to specify their particular type/brand of these peripherals, or wishing to purchase this model without any or all of these, should specify this on their quotation request form.

The optical drive fitted to the default model is an 18x DVD±RW/DL/RAM in dark grey finish.
*There is a 256MB PCIe graphics card fitted as default. For gamers, however, we recommend the Asus EN8800GT;

This Kustom computer range is NOT recommended for upgrading to Windows Vista; however such an upgrade should be possible if desired, with the following conditions. : The Realtek High Definition Audio Device will require installation of updated drivers following installation of Vista. (Contact the device vendor; Realtek Semiconductor, or Kustom Komputa, for more information.) The ATK0110 ACPI Utility will require an updated driver but should be automatically updated upon installation of Vista. If you have a VIA VT6421 RAID controller fitted it may require replacement with a suitable alternative device before installation of Vista. Alternatively a possible suitable driver for use with Vista may be downloaded HERE . This driver has only recently come to the attention of Kustom Komputa. It has not been tested and therefore Kustom Komputa do not guarantee that its use will be effective. The Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor says that the VIA VT6421 will not work under Vista; yet there is a Vista driver for it. Kustom Komputa make no guarantees either way. (Some INXPense computers have Vista-compatible Silicon Image SiI 3132 SoftRaid 5 Controllers fitted which do not require replacement.) (A VT6421 RAID controller may have been fitted if you have more than 2 optical and/or hard disk drives, or if you are running RAID 0 or 2+. If unsure contact Kustom Komputa.)

19-inch TFT monitor supplied.

Customers wishing to purchase a model with a different or larger monitor, or wishing to purchase without having a monitor supplied, should specify this on their quotation request form.
