So i got some stuff in the mial recently...

Built it and set it all up after waiting a painstakingly long wait because we all love couriers... (5 days

) for my final part i needed to get the beast running.

There are not many pics of it being assembled as I was caught up in the moment, it was very good fun

Now i wait till christmas to get a h70 and a 570 or a 6970 2gb and its complete. Maybe a new case

So there it is

not 100% complete but she runs the games i play purrrrfectly tf2, minecraft, doom 3 and the quake games whilst in on this card, when i get my new stuff ill get stuck in on arma 2, deus ex and all the good stuff

Specs:
Intel i5 2500k
Asus p8p67 deluxe motherboard (Members market

)
Palit nvidia geforce 8800gs 384mb HDMI (Members market

)
Corsair XMS3 4gb dual channel
OCZ ModXtreme pro 600w modular (Members market

)
Zalman z9 plus case
seagate 1.5tb HDD (Members market

get that bad boy clocked

oh and cable managment

invest in some cable ties and spend a couple of hours getting them all hidden and out the way, does wonders for air flow

Will do, waiting for a cooler first, cable management could be worse...

Looking forward to seeing this with proper cable management! Getting my Z9 next week, trying to figure out how well I can hide those cables!

Nice build so far look forward to new card and some cable management.

Thank god I read that you are getting a new heatsink intel one is rubbish.

TheYoungster · 12 Sep 2011 at 18:59

Haha to be fair, im not clocking on it yet so im good for a bit and its done well

thanks, cable management will be when i get the new stuff

Nice build

Cable management is fairly easy in this case, lots of room round the back

Fit the hard drive the other way round so the cables are round the back also

nice build will be good once cables sorted out then u can tidy my case and cables up

TheYoungster · 15 Sep 2011 at 23:44

Ah i see now, once you pointed it out i see how stupid it is to have it that way round, who does that?

Hahaha buy me a beer and a steak and im game sunshine lol

chigley · 16 Sep 2011 at 00:05

Nice build! Did you not fancy an aftermarket HSF?

TheYoungster · 16 Sep 2011 at 12:03

Nads, my hard drive has packed up. You know those alpha male moments you get when you do something awesome? Just had one of those when i found my old ps3 hard drive and installed windows on it. Like a baws.

spenncerr · 20 Nov 2011 at 20:21

Another Z9 user is good to see! Shame about your cable management indeed

Looking good though.

TheYoungster · 20 Nov 2011 at 21:10

will be sorted soon... correction, wheni can be bothered, lots of other stuff to deal with at the moment

TheYoungster · 4 Jan 2012 at 23:41

sort of cable managed as i got bored today and i couldnt install ubuntu

Now i have a 6970 2gb from the members market along with another mm steal a 600t white, another new addition is an antec kuhler 620 (mm again lol) some new fans and a new dvd drive... anyone can guess where from you get a net cookie. Will update it when it is built up again into the 600t.
