Why, thank you!
nice one! I built my own computer too, it's not as hard as some people think... most of the plugs and sockets are fairly obvious too.
I could do with a case like that, got a crappy £30 Xblade that I should replace.
Hmmm, same graphics card, only 2GB RAM though. Looks like upgrade tiem for me soon... only got 80GB left on my 250GB Hard drive...
Anyway, enough ranting from me.
Awesome.
Awesome, I have always considered building one but I need to it after I get the correct funds.
Yes.
seems like it would be awesome for gaming purposes
Indeed.
Not bad. I built a very similar one, but with better parts.
You liked the VHOOOOSH sound in the beginning?
Gratz on the build man, great parts.
Vhoosh is awesome. What parts did you use?
Dude you got the same case as me! its freaking chunky isn't it?
It's the perfect size.
Same case, 8800 GTS, Western digital too, but with 465 gig. (500)
Intel quad core, Gigabyte GA-X38 and same memory. Corsair 620.
Got a Xonar D2 too though. So thats the only difference really.
Not too much better. I think my 2 duo is better for me. I don't do anything that requires a quad processor.
I built my own computer three years ago. Sadly, today my new laptop (which I am currently using) runs faster than it, and the laptop cost half the price. How much did you have to shell out for that mug?
$650
How much was the total cost?
$600-650 with the mail in rebates. I used some coupons and special deals though, so all around $500 for me.
How's the 8800 GT?
And I've seen WAY too many people using the same case.
But I'm just jealous I don't have the money to build my own yet. =C
That's because this case = (_)_)IIIIIIIIIIIIID~
Nice setup, it is much cheaper to buy the parts seperately onlinde and put it together. Pc stores who sell full pc's charge too much for assembly and putting in windows, I've felt screwed over by those stores too many times >:(
www.newegg.com Huge deals, great service.
hey, i have the same video card as you! :D
also, nice job. i want to build a computer someday, too. i just need money. and time.
Cool.
liquid cooling ftw..
I don't need it. The Intel chip runs cool enough with the shitty included heat sink.
Really nice
it's cheaper to buy the parts and assemble it yourself...
not that hard either
I wish i'd just had the money
Btw: it looks awesome!!
xD
Thank you!
Wow, what was the total sum? I might build my own computer when I get a place of my own.
Scroll up.
Nice choice of components =] and gratz on your first? build!
Yes.
dood, recently i just bought myself a nearly complete new system. First i just bought a gf8800gt but since the graphiccard did not work with my computer (the card itself works I tried it on my friends computer) i bought additionally a asus motherboard and a intelcore2quad6600 ... it was really hard for me to decide wether to get a dual or quadcore but my friend convinced me to get a quadcore...
Quad core is pointless unless you're doing like video editing with four high end programs open. Duel core is more efficient for most. Quad core will be in the future, though.
Wow that's nicer than an Alienware. And at half the cost? Congrats. Which part cost the most?
The cpu.
i didnt build it but my computer is allthe way shitty i have 1 gb left no virtul memery (how do i get more memeory for ) and well i guess i can see why its slow because i had my desktop for lik 4 years (i nkow i nkow i need to buy a new but ya how do i get more memory also life be a computer techinecion they make good money my sister make 26 dollars a hour
That would be a good side job. You can get more memory, just buy a stick or two of RAM. What motherboard do you have?
RobThanatos
id rather buy a full one into knowing what I get in the system and what system type I get
life
Err? You get a much better knowledge of that if you build it yourself.
