From POST (Power-on self-test) to Windows loading screen: 23 seconds
From Windows loading screen to lock screen: 13 seconds
Total: 36 seconds

The rig is running Windows 8 Pro with Media Center 64-bit with all updates installed.

No-GUI boot isn't enabled in msconfig, because the spinning dots loading animation is still there even with it enabled.

I "tricked" the SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS setup so it won't crash on startup.

System specifications: See my channel description.
