Finally Done Building!

diduknowthat · 12-27-2007, 02:59 AM

So after numerous software and hardware troubles, my new computer build is finally totally completed!

And to celebrated this occasion, I've taken pictures!

Outside - Case Badges (from top to bottom) - Arctic Cooling, EVGA, G.Skill, Gigabyte & Core 2 Quad

Front with lights off, the blue glow comes from my front Thermaltake 120mm LED fan

Side PCI vent, light comes from my Vantec PCI slot fan blowing up on my graphics card

The inside of the computer, I just finished installing the Sharks heatsink and did all the cable organization today

Inside with the lights on, there are no cathodes in the computer, just 3 LED fans. And sorry for the blurry pictures, I was in a rush as my camera was running out of batteries

.

Anyways, I'm loving this computer. It's a bit loud, but still acceptable. I really like it's simplicity, no side panels and no super bright lights. The specs are...

Q6600 2.4ghz CPU
Gigabyte GA-P35 LGA 775 motherboard
EVGA 8800gt 512mb Video Card
G.Skill 4GB Ram
Western Digital 400GB SATA HD
Coolermaster Elite 330 Case
Evercool Sharks CPU heatsink
Cooler Master Real Power Pro 650watt PSU

It cost about $1000-ish, I already had the heatsink.

Feel free to comment!

Shouldn't need to upgrade for a few years with that build. Hardware looks very nice.

I spent $385 on my current computer listed in my signature below. But I am looking for an AMD Dual Core processor preferably the Athlon X 2 4600+ or 4800+ Socket 939. I hate Socket 939. If only I had known it was on it's way out when I bought my system in June 2007.

It's just two 70mm fans blowing up into my graphics card. The fan has a sliding bar on the back to control its speed, and I cant really hear it over my front fan when i set it to low.
