Cheers! yeah, im expecting a good couple of years out this buildIts in the desk, picked this desk as the PC shelf has open sides and holes all over the bottom for better ventilation- And i liked the look of it Just installed 64bit but not activated till I get a licence but still going smooth! even plays games like L4D2 on the current setup fairly smoothly but no AA or anything, awaits end of January's pay so I can get the finishing bits orderedhttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs064.snc6/167409_1814686607347_1245529921_2145960_4256002_n.jpghttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs053.snc6/168301_1814687287364_1245529921_2145962_3043221_n.jpghttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs016.snc6/166612_1814693687524_1245529921_2145964_2715332_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclovin9091 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Its definitely better building your own PC compared to buying one, so much more satisfaction booting it up for the 1st and making sure everything is working and then more satisfaction fixing the problems. Hope your going to sort the cabling out and make it a bit tidier or you take a bit of a bashing over at OCs forum. Where'd you get the desk from? Would go great with the furniture in my living room.

scottg17 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yeah, Cable management will be done at the end a bit better, the case has no holes to reroute the cables behind the mobo ECT Got the desk off Amazon, Link Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
