        Do you have to buy the processor separately?

            "Other Thoughts: Very easy to assemble this system, even
            though it is very tight. Solid build quality and lot of
            though went into the design. I like the custom heatsink. The
            system runs cool, but the fans make some clicking sound, I
            may need to talk to the support on that.

            Overall a good buy if you have one of those old core i3
            clarkdale CPUs lying around."
