Anyone interested in a build log?

I'm going to be helping my girlfriend put together her new pc today, she's going to have a go at putting it together herself, and she's determined I don't help her at all.

Going to start to build it in about an hour and a half. All components are still in there boxes.

I noticed another thread asking where to post pics and "Stulid" mentioned to do a build log in this section of the forums.

Well she has never put a pc together before and doesn't have much of a clue, so it should be a laugh.

If anyone's interested in the log with pics, I can post them up on here. I will be taking pics anyway to remember the occasion, it should be pretty funny when she tries to connect the cpu into the pci-e slots.

The components aren't anything amazing as you might imagine.

I need a new log to watch

go for it!

Here we are. The pics as promised, sorry about the lack of the girlfriend, she wasn't to happy about getting her picture splattered on a forum.

Pics are in chronological order, from start to finish. She has never put together a pc before from scratch, she managed it fine. Except when she threaded one of the standoffs. It all went well. As you can see cable management wasn't her number one priority, in all fairness the PSU's cables weren't exactly long and the case itself is pretty poor for cable management.

It all booted up first time and she was chuffed.

So if you are in doubt whether or not you can build your own pc and think it might be too difficult... if she can do it, anyone can!!!

Great job and congrats to her!
