Hey Guys, I just wanted to post a topic announcing the completion of my first ever build. It took just over an hour for me to put everything together from start to finish. And to my suprise it booted up first time, with no problems, although i was following an online tutorial :P

So now I'm just going through downloading and installing everything that I need, updating drivers, etc. It feels so good being on a new fresh PC, everything is so fast and smooth.

Last, but not means least, just want to thank everyone, who's helped by replying to my questions and topics.

Its not spam at all, its nice to have positive build feedback rather than just the people having problems post ;)

Anychance of pics ? specs ? a link to the online guide ?

Just out of interest, do you get a slightly funny smell with your build? I finished my first build yesterday as well, and it gives off a slightly plasticky smell. I dont think its anything burning, as it runs fairly cool and doesnt smell acrid like burning things do, but is it anything to worry about?
