well after the fiasco with the power pc going pop i decided i need a quick build to get me up and gaming again
so the antec came back out of the cupboard
the work area was prepared
and everything was given a quick bench test with the new psu as the 9450 and 6970 were in the power pc when it went pop
all good after a quick post
case given a quick clean out of dust and dead beasties
and the psu temporarily tacked into place with a couple of thumbscrews
I was quite dissapointed with my new OCZ Z series when i unboxed it, the braiding is poor the connectors feel as if they are made of the cheapest plastic known to man even thoguh the main psu seems extremely well finished and put together
imagine my disgust when i realised how short the cables were
some front panel connectors added (note their all behind the mobo
not an easy feat in a 300
i like neatness even during my build process
and tadaa
all nice and neat
it was a bit of a quick build just to get me back up and running as much as i love project power pc(2) i'm not feeling the love of an old sub ghz mac with a radeon 9000 for gaming so i needed a proper gaming machine up and running
spec of the antec
q9450 @ 3.6ghz
8gig ram
6970 2gig
nips along quite nicely in most things
But fret ye not project power pc is not dead and buried i'm thinking of a rebirth with a bulldozer setup and a snazzy paintjob and cooling setup wath this space for more updates
