Latest Revision of 1st Build

rahving · 02-02-2006, 07:28 AM

Here we go...again.

The latest revision of my 1st build, probably last. Main reason for this revision was that my budget is doing a little better than I thought, so should be able to pull this one out come "the day."

Basically I traded off mobo for a better video card. Also changed my case and power supply, however this case has pretty much been my clear #2 pick all along. Let me know what you think, appreciate any and all comments.

looks good. but most of your drives are OEM. my OEM hard drives didnt come with anything but the hard drive, so you might have to buy some sata cables.

the motherboard usually also comes with cables. Mine came with SATA and IDE cables.
