Nice, always a good feeling when you complete your first build.

I've got the HX620 and the Antec 900 and the biggest ****** is that the power supply logo is upside down once installed. So I took the Corsir black n white logo badge and stuck it on looks better but when you spend that much and get it all up and running its a bit of an annoyance!

Very nice, busy weekend ahead

Mike0124 · 13 Feb 2009 at 23:05

Gotta say that 1200 is bigger in real life than you expect though.

Good luck and don't worry, or you will bolt to early.

Good luck with your build. Its a great feeling having all those boxes delivered, Just like Christmas all over again.

Remember take your time and do it right that why you only do it once.

Don;t panic.. All A-OK.

Spent all afternoon taking my time. Fired her up outside the box, all good

Proceded on to shoving it all into the case, cabled up, ALL SYSTEMS GO.

Left it running for an hour. It's so quiet. CPU idling away at 30C/ I think it only sees 1 HD in the SATA list and nothing else.,so i'll have to investigate as i have a velociraptor, LG BD and the front ports all connected into the SATA ports

Will tidy the cables round the back tommorrow.

Word of warning to anyone ordering similar: the EAX12v 8pin lead from the PSU is not long enough to route thru the case holes and into the top of the mobo. I called OC to ask them and they are sending me an extension cable

Put some piccies up tommorrow
