Anyone interested in a build log?

I actually begged her not to put it on!!! When she insisted, the first thing I said was. "Take your time, make sure you get it in line, you only get one chance"

What does she do. Ripped it off and threw the sticker from half way across the kitchen, unreal!

It is windows 7 and the wifi card is excellent, especially for 8 quid. It was recognised on first boot up, signal strength is pretty decent aswell. Works with WPA-2 encryption.

Cute little mobo :)

Nice little build, really neat (except cables... teach her the ways of the cable management :))

Out of interest, why do Intel stock coolers always look SOOOOoooo bad!?

Tell me about it. It was a mission and a half to get on, the plastic connectors kept coming loose, no matter what method I tried... eventually got it on though 10 minutes later. There so cheap and nasty! Will probably put an aftermarket cooler on next month.

Why is it so bad she was in the kitchen! LOL
 
hahaha nice thread OP.

I think without your guidance the pc could have blown up:p. Hmm modern women always seem to be the weakest link in technical stuff:D. One thing they do excel in is fashion and clothing stuff :p

I wonder how the women during WW2 managed to wok in weapon factories producing guns, machine parts etc; now that is highly challenging and technical stuff.
 
Some people on here get snotty about mere build logs, but there are many of us who love having a nose at other people's systems. And we all love box porn. :D

What OS you usimg? looks like win7? did you have any issues getting that tp-link wireless card to work?

I'll just say that the two TP link PCI express cards I've installed my mum's computer and my HTPC work flawlessly with Win 7 64bit, no meddling required. I don't think they've ever dropped the connection or failed to start up on boot, I can't say the same for the Netgear junk I used to buy in the past.

Cheap and cheerful little things.
 
Nice little build, and just shows anyone can have a go at building their own PC and in turn saving a few bob while getting some nicer components than a pre built.

People always seem to think building PCs is a really technical thing to do, but all it comes down to is plugging/pushing each device into the right shaped connector. :P

You helped her with that bit then.

Did you get Andy Gray's/Richard Keys' permission to let her near a pc btw? :)

I did indeed help her with that bit, aswell as fixing the standoff she decided to thread into the case. Apart from that, it was all her own doing.

P.S Football jokes are over my head lol... any other sport but football, i'd have got it, haha
