Behemoth's mATX Build - Build Pics - 56K Go away !

[Behemoth]

Now that I've got a bit of spare time to do this before hitting the sack I thought I'd post up some pics to show how it all went.

My weapons of choice

Hmmm it's small in there !

For an mATX board it does pack a lot of features !

Board mounted in the case, CPU in place

Hmmm could be a problem with the RAM later

I was right, a VERY tight fit !

Perhaps I should have bought 2 x 4 Gig modules, but nevermind got them all in

GTX 460 in, Soundcard in too, thinking at this point modular PSU should have been ordered

Thinking I might be alright for coolong in this little case

It lives

I know you've all seen it, but the finished article

Phenom 2 X2 Unlocked all 4 cores, standard clocks, 8 gig DDR3 Corsair RAM, Gigabyte GTX460 OC2, 2 TB HDD - very cool, very quiet, very stable.

Ideally before I move I want to crack it open and tidy the cables, but very happy with the build none the less.

Thats a G510 and MX518 mouse

Just discovered I had the PSU in the wrong way round so have kust put it the other way

Oddly enough Stulid, will be living in weston next month

My 3.5 HDD's are in the correct bays for the HDD's as they are not pictured as they weren't in the case when I took the pictures.

Well I've been minitoring the temps on my CPU and to be honest it really isn't suffering from it being mounted that way round, if it become a problem I'll change it round.

Only the one GPU - GTX 460 this mobo has only one PCIE 2.0 slot.

I saw - I'd still like to see another in there You need to buy a new motherboard

Can't afford to buy another mobo or a GTX 460, not that I really need it. Can't say I've found this PC at all slow, it's certainly got the grunt for what I play on it.

I've re routed all my cables behind the mobo tray now, temps have dropped by a few degress too.
