    This isn't going to be a naruto themed build I felt guilty since the thread was looking plain so quickly put that up. Give me some more ideas for the main pic guys!

    Yeah I'm getting 64-bit. Erm how would I write Lamba on the case both sides like some people mod their cases? Would it be too much effort?

    Depends on the material we're talking about. Engraving perspex (plexi-glass) isn't particularily hard to do, it just requires some skill/practice to get it done nice.

    I had a chat with one of the managers on eBuyers phonelines and they were able to give me free delivery for Saturday. The unfortunate thing is that I won't get the graphics card, motherboard all the wireless PCI card I ordered from scan so I will have to wait until Monday when they come to put everything together.

    I don't know how well I will be able to engrave the Perspex so I may just have to leave that. Maybe it may be possible to get one of these modding companies to ship me over a can of spray paint if I asked nicely?!

    Well, here's the kind of night before the goods arrival update. Since this is my first ever built I guess I'm kind of nervous but I have taken part loads of PCs before so I should be fine. The most annoying thing is I will be getting the majority of the stuff tomorrow since most of the stuff which is integral to the running of the computer is coming on Monday I can't even start to put together the stuff :wallbash:

    Oh and all of my posts are going to have this little logo so it's easy to see when I post.

    lmao.

    This thread caught my attention with the title.

    I looked in like the other poster and lol'd at the Naruto pic.

    Felt relieved when you said the build wasn't going to be Naruto-themed.

    Then lmao'd when i saw the Antec case with "Believe it" emblazoned on the side.

    While I keep going through all the stuff that I am unpacking I thought I would share a few more images I took of the other stuff that came in the other cardboard box I got from the delivery guy today.

    The box...

    On the left we have the Sony disc drive followed by some Corsair dominator ram and finally the Samsung spinpoint on the far right.

    Pretty self-explanatory!

    Here is the PSU that I will be recycling. I took out some of the season had to spend a good few minutes with the Hoover tidying everything up.
