I ordered the new parts for my rig last night... now have to wait a day or 2 for them to arrive :mad:

What I ordered:

Gainward BLISS 8800GTX
Corsair Dominator Twin2X 2GB PC2-6400
Corsair HX 620w Modular PSU

Nice hardware, how much wonga has that sey you back???

Post some pictures m8, when your building youe rig

Altogether it cost just shy of £1400... but I've been saving for this (missus' orders), and I think it's about time I upgraded

Should all be here on Tuesday/Wednesday hopefully, ready for my 4 days off

Quick question:

Most of my order has now been dispatched, but on one item it says 'Printed in our Warehouse'...

Does this mean they're out of stock or just not been dispatched yet, because I didn't recieve an email/notification about stock availability.

Ring OCuk and enquire, don't think you can mention shop matters on the forums mate.

BeanymanJC · 27 Nov 2006 at 13:48

Ok thanks.

I thought it better to ring anyway =)

BeanymanJC · 28 Nov 2006 at 14:06

Hurray.

All my stuff has arrived at my house... but I'm stuck at work until 8pm :mad:

I'll get some pics when I get in tonight, and make a start on the build log

n/b I also ordered me a 21" Samsung TFT today, since current one only has a max res. of 1280*1024.

Looking to build my first rig next year... so let us know how you get on.

Best of luck!

GL Building your rig!

/cry

It seems my chasis wasn't included in the Next Day Delivery, so I'm stuck hoping it'll come tomorrow.

So at the moment I have this waiting:

Please excuse the quality, I had to use my phone camera since I can't find any batteries.

This makes me a sad Panda

To tide me over til my chasis arrives, I'm prepping the m/b for the HS and installing the RAM...

BeanymanJC · 28 Nov 2006 at 22:02

Ready to go, but no cigar

And now I need to go to bed... up at 5:30am. May tomorrow bring me joy... and a CM Stacker in the post

Got my new rig up and running at last.

Here's a sneak peak:

Still need to do some testing, and see what this PC is made of.
