My slow year long upgrade (project bodge it and bash it)

yes higher res pics please, take all the space you want, its not like anyone else reads this thread other than us anyways.

As for the case i may recommend it to my brother when the time comes, which could be any time, he goes through phases of "i want a new computer" then "i dont need one as i have a ps3".
 
ahhh there's no rush to do it, i'll deal with it when he says he definately wants one, always something on offer luckily :). What do you do that requires you work so late?
 
i work in a takeaway mate:D

heres some pics:D

Ahhh i understand your crazy working hours now. Those pics are better can actually see what i'm looking at now. Looks really good, you done well there mate. Quite impressed at the cable management options of that rather small case too. Hmmmm but where did those red enermax fans go tho?
 
lol thought that might of been what happened to them, always got to treat yourself in those situations haven't you. Back in sunny kent and am now on the graphics card hunt for my brother but it's very difficult to find one that fits the bill. It's gotta beat his 7300LE, work with a 300w cheap dell PSU and be single slot. not having much luck as most cards i've seen require a lot more juice than 300w :(
 
4770:D newer core uses less juice but i would think the geforce value series would be fine as well like the 9500GT its tiny and i doubt it uses that much power:D
 
all 4770's i've seen are dual slot so that ruins that idea :(. 9500GT maybe but i think he likes my 4850 but is reluctant to do an overhaul on his computer as it would require a lot of effort and money. dunno what to do really
 
give him an ultimatum new PC or live with it:D but tbh a 4850 and a new psu would set you back about 125£:( so considering we could spec him a new one for 400£ which would PWN init:D
 
yea he's considering a new computer, 500 quid is max upgrade budget, however will need new OS he likes vista and can't be bothered with the hassle of dealing with 7 and re-installing it later when it is released. Would his processor an intel core 2 6400 @2.13ghz be worth keeping? He also has 2 hard drives, i know one is IDE however the other may be sata. Also has a DVD drive, monitor, keyboard etc.
 
Well not a lot really, basic internet browsing and gaming, he would game a lot more if perhaps his computer would let him but about all he can manage is CSS. Might get a spec me thread up in a minute
 
lol yea i was lookin at that case (i know where you got it from too :D) , as it needs to be smallish, well smaller than my cm690 anyways. i need to establish what his current HDDs are as that could be more money saved there
 
right i am sure you can use your powers of shopping to save yourself enough money on this build to include the case:D anyways i think i fortgot it was mATX mobos only in that case the antec p180 mini just incase you forgot:D but the E5200 can defo clock to 3.3ghz on stock cooling:D

no spec yet? you ill? lol :p i haven't forgotten it's mATX just browsing ideas now.

*edit* just as i say that you post a spec but one without a case
 
seems my brother is actually a fan of crazy blue neon lit cases etc. so seems the p180 may not fit the bill :(. Bring on the case hunting.
