The VT Boys have been building a Super computer

The VT Boys have been building a Super computer this weekend, we ordered in all the parts, new AVP Cube case, 750 Watt PSU, ASUS 1050 Motherboard, Kingston S400 SSD flash drive, Intel Haswell 4130 i3 3.4Ghz processor, AMD 6850 1Gb Graphics card and 16Gb DDR3 1600 memory, now you would think this makes a good Windows Gaming computer, however we had other plans with it.
Of course Mr.Gadget build the computer because he is very good at that, all the cables have been routed properly and secured. We build a few week ago a new USB stick with MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 and booted the machine up.
We installed the drivers, setup iCloud and Microsoft Office 2016. Everything works great, before we had trouble with the sound, wifi, and Time Machine and the machine will Panic Screen, but not this time, it is fast doing about 7600 points on the Geekbench App - not bad.
In the next few week we are going to build  - a better one, based on a Kaby Lake i7 7700K, Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card and M.2 flash drives, watch this space.
