First ever build "gulp"

Nice, enjoy. Take your time, don't force anything, touch a grounded metal object every now and again, and don't let your 2 year old help!

Best PC building tool = head torch. Great for peering into the dark corners of the case to locate a lost screw.

Definitely.

The anticipation when you first turn it on.....nothing happens. Then the fun begins.
Nice components. I hope the build goes well and take your time.

I did like someones comment on here a while back, something like "you have more fun building than actually using"

Will see if that comes true

i definately agree.

annoyingly its just not the same stripping it all out to clean out the dust and reassembling it either :/

So far so good, the cpu wasn't fun. Felt like I was gonna crush the damn thing.

Was a bitch getting the 2 x 4pin into the 8pin on the mobo, access isn't the best but I got there in the end.

Never applied thermal paste before so I just did the blob in the middle and just hope that works out ok. Is it ok that I moved the cooler a bit as I had a bit of hassle with the main bracket, It never left the surface of the cpu.

Back to it tomorrow night.

Looking good so far, the red interior of the case is very nice.

Good god that cooler is insane!!

Hugs cute little H50

Good luck with the build!

Way to go, matey, way to go......

Looking good, keep the pics coming.

another few hours tonight, I fired her up tonight also with just the basics and I assume that been able to view the bios and it prompting me for media is a good sign, temps within bios showed 28 / 29.

Save the worst till last me thinks, no idea if thats what most people do but if not then ops

Last shot before I called it a night.

I think they call that crap you pants time and start saying over and over no no no no no come on work.

mb1980y · 16 Oct 2010 at 00:04

Yeah the mega shadow.

I hovered my finger over the on button for ages before saying sod it, I think it posted how it should.
