Unusual Spec Me

so, fianlly built it guys, happily running my new pc :)

didnt realise the mobo only had 2 fan headers (1 for cpu and 1 for case fan)
had to order a fan splitter so i could use all 3 case fans.

still waiting for GPU, ended up with a HD5770 :rolleyes:

uploading pics now, may take a while as im uploadign them individually.
 
Awesome, I am getting a BitFenix Merc Alpha case, wouldn't mind to see what it is like. Bet you took the last one I was hoping was gonna last till I ordered! haha ;)
 
here it is, took it with a Coolpix S8000, as you can see my photographic skills isnt the best :)

finished build, after some cable managament.
 
hi, thanks for the suggestion.

unfortunately im completely skint atm.

next purchase would be new k/b (one im using feels too hard and noisy) and cable wraps once funds arrive :)

PS, thanks to everyone who replied to my "Powerline/Homeplugs thread". got it working eventually, getting 200kB/s download speed :p
 
i was surprised that the x1950pro ran tf2 decently in 1080

as i remember it having problems with HL2 ep1 back in 06 or maybe its because of my Pentium D 820 :D

also the bitfenix case nearly made me want to replace mine
 
Nice :)

Looks a decent case for the price. What was it like to build in? Cable management doesn't look too bad for a cheap case!

well, i dont really know what to say since its my first case building in.
there was enough space to move around which made it easier. apart from that, i dont really know what else to say, sorry :(

the second cable mangement took me from 4:30pm-6:30pm today.

and yeah, it runs TF2 on high with 2x AA and Trilinear AF, averaging on 35FPS using fraps :)
