Mate, that looks amazing. Just think of me still on my 939 rig....

You did a real nice job, espcially considering its your first build.

Yeah my last one was a 939, AGP card

Very nice build. First when I saw that coffe standing next to bare mobo I thought.. oo oooow...

If spent so mcuh money on that hardware why did you pick 4870? Should have gone crazy and get GTX295!

Gotta have a brew on the go before you start.

Only got a 22" monitor so it should be plenty

Nooooooo don't ever have drinks next to a build! :eek:

One thing though; I've always read you should never place a motherboard (or any component) on top of an anti-static bag.

Glad it all went well for you though mate. Building mine this weekend too and I cant wait!

All up and running and ready to go. Will evict the old 939, AGP, squatter tommorrow and run 3dmark on it.

Any idea on what score i'm looking for?

Looks nice and tidy, good job :cool:

LOL, i finished building my first rig 4 days ago and its similar to this one, spec is in sig. Your cable management is much better then mine, but then again i don't have a modular PSU, i have the corsair 850w

Hi
Nice build for a first attempt, you cannot beat the feeling of doing it yourself,
what op system are you going for ?
Regards

Vista x64 or Win7 x64, just go with anything that's 64bit or else that's money down the drain.

Motherboard temps seem a little high on idle. I have just built the same apart from using a 900-2 an a 285. Mine is 29c

his case was open tbh and it depends on ya room temp

First thing I noticed was a lack of a coaster under the cup and on a wooden table... Gonna leave rings!

acharris · 18 Mar 2009 at 23:54

More guts than I got to have a drink next to an £1850 setup exposed bare on the table. It could have been a very expensive cup. Have a brew away from components. Hell I dont even have drink near my PC/keyboard/consoles. My rule is never have drink or food near anything.

Nice build by the way and glad you had no disasters with that cuppa.
