EDIT2: Filefront is down... i guess ill just upload them here...




and heres the specs:

Motherboard: ABIT AW9D-MAX Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 975X ATX
RAM: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Memory

so what do you think?

At least yours looks pretty. When I got my computer up to date about a year back I built it in a crappy old Gateway case I had

Looks pretty, just add another fan or two and the thing will probably hover.

I'd hate to run that thing over night to download some huge file, the noise and lights would keep me awake.

Nice specs, but I'm not a fan of loads of cut in holes and neon lights. But that's because it's not my style.

congratulations you non-computer builder virgin.

i remember the first time i built my pc, was about 3 yrs ago after my old one died due to a heatwave. it took me 2 months to build due to having to buy part by part as money came to my [mothers] pocket. it was the most painful 2 months ever, since i had to wait till the last day before i could know it worked, without any access to warcraft3 (favourite game of the time) to cool me down :?

and then came the last shipment of parts, plugged it all in, omg, "not working!"..."oh wait... wheres the ram?" and then a few minutes later a knock at the door and the delivery man says "i forgot this!"

it worked like a charm, immediately installed windows and got overclocking, and im still using it to this day without a problem.

Wow, that is a nice computer! Ive never really considered building my own because every time I open a computer case or start touching computer parts I get nervous I'm going to break something . But, I guarantee my crappy computer is louder then yours, Because anytime I want to do anything remotely processor intensive I have to crank up the fans to maximum with Speed fan, it is LOUD!

Very nice. I always love getting new upgrades... or in your case a new computer. I recently upgraded to a dual monitor system and was easily amused by simply moving windows across the two monitors. I would suspect that a similar thing would happen with me looking at all the lights on that computer. Have fun with Vista and I seriously hope you look in to getting Crysis as you have a "top of the line" computer now.

thats how i feel a lot of the time. especially when i was putting in the processor... i got scared. i had to look over the instructions like 5 times for each step to make sure i wasnt missing something. and after you put on the processor, you feel like you're gonna break your motherboard trying to snap the heat sink in.

No matter how many times I've put heatsinks in computers, that is always the scariest part. Getting them off on some models is scary pretty scary too.

My philosophy is, Looks are nice, but performance is everything. Next gaming pc i will build will use the same beige case of something that had a p3 in it a long time ago

dont hate people who rip you off,cheat and get away with it, learn from them
