I dunno, never really tried for speed.

I like to make everything neat and looking nice. That takes a long time tho, lol.

Ditto. It sickens me to see friend's machines that consist of a giant wire jungle and no ventilation whatsoever. I usually raid the machine, clean it up, and make it run better whenever I can get my hands on it. From taking everything out of the boxes to seeing the desktop, it might take an hour or two. I then spend a lot of time tweaking the OS, installing drivers, etc.

10 - 15 minutes, as long as the thermal paste application goes smooth. I spend a lot of time trying to make that perfect. I clip along when I'm handling anything else. This really isn't tough if you have onboard everything either
