Some amazing rigs!
I finally got the pics off my phone of my new budget build I did for a lounge pc.
Used for Kids games/learning for my daughter, catch up tv for my partner, bit of light gaming for me and general surfing.
I used an old case which has zero options for cable management so please excuse that
I got 8gb DDR3 1600 ram for £24.95 which was awesome, tried it in my main rig in my system specs and it scores the same as my ripjaws in all benchmarks including winsat.
CPU is fantastic for the price, £83 the built in graphics play Dirt 3 on high settings at 1366x768 resolution! It scores 6300 in passmark, my 2600k scores 10000 stock so pretty impressive considering it was a third of the price.
Anyway enough babbling, here's the pics.:)
Oh P.S the HDD in the pic has now been formatted and connected as a storage drive.

I'm unsure completely why you would see that benefit. You should be able to easily get that throughput with a single NIC. And if you are paying for 5Mbps of service...regardless of NIC teaming I wouldn't expect you to be able to pull more than that.
If you had 2 internet providers, I could certainly see the potential for improvement, but not with a single provider.
I've got high hopes especially for my RAM. Had to run it underclocked on the Gigabyte board. Also looking forward to controlling LLC. No more vdroop which was a real problem with the UD7
