(Dear admin: i didn't know how to move my thread so i just posted another one here) First build ever.. what do you think? Things i would like to add to this little monster .. -Blu-ray Dvd player -Liquid cooling- I cant seem to find one that I like, Would you help me? -------------------------------------------- ASUS P5Q-EM (Micro-ATX) Intel E6750 @ 2.66 - O.C. @ 3.2 Ghz 4GB of DDR2 800 Sapphire 4870 x2 Creative sound card 2 WD Raptor HDD (no raid) Thermaltake Spedo case. HP 30' Inch monitor 2560 x 1600
Stuff the fan(?) wire with the knot in it under the edge of the motherboard at the top and it's pretty well complete. Very well done job for a first mod. Many of us still can't do cable management that well - yeah ME included ! john
I'd say grab 4 gb of ram, and as for liquid cooling, go for a custom kit, don't buy a pre-made one unless it was from say Petra's tech shop, i know they sell full kits with high quality blocks and everything needed.
Here, this may be useful: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=162710 Some chap in the sales forums is flogging 2*2Gb of DDR2-6400 for £13. Dunno if you'll be able to see the FS/Wanted forum yet...whisper pleadingly at an admin if you can't. £13 is too good to miss EDIT - ffs, nevermind, the OP hasn't bothered to edit his offer. The RAM apparently went yesterday afternoon.
Holy **** that's high res. Still, your cable management skills had nothing to do with that Nice hardware. You made better choices than my first build (in my sig)
Woah so atleast one bought the Spedo case The build itself is nice and clean, but the case is just ginormous and I don't kinda see the point in that. Also definitely get atleast 4 GBs of ram, it barely costs anything anyway.. Can't really help you on the watercooling, I'm not too keen on them.
That case looks awesome, i just like the look of fans especially the really big ones even though they are noisy. What size is that screen? Just finished my 1st build no were near as neat as that, god job!
Tidy! I've always had a go at tidying up cables whenever I transplant my stuff into a new case, but give up in fairly short order. You'd have a field day on mine.
Its was about $1,250. ---------------------------------- ASUS P5Q-EM (Micro-ATX) Intel E6750 @ 2.66 - O.C. @ 3.2 Ghz 2GB of DDR2 800 and 2GB of DDR2 667(old but looking for new) Sapphire 4870 x2 Creative sound card 2 WD Raptor HDD (no raid) Thermaltake Spedo case. HP 30' Inch monitor 2560 x 1600
Nice screen Well, really nice cable management. But in my opinion hiding all the cable is not natural. Really. I only use some tiewraps to stick them onto the case/drivebays/whatever and it looks nice.
Mine might be a wee bit neater inside but my case is a disused old aircraft hanger size wise. Also I cheated by making my cables looking like a 'feature' rather than hiding them.
Nice cable management, but nobody's gonna see it without a window. I also like how you pimped you Vista box.
