Well thats all i have time for at the moment, i will post some more of me putting it together :D.
 
With a name like Skint I was expecting something more where you build something from bits you had lying about and stuff you've scraped together.

It works the other way around as well though. Looks like an expensive build.

What sort of modding are you intending doing? Or is it just a build log?
 
Yeah i miss understood the title

I was thinking "crap I'd like to see what he buys when he's not skint"

Also like to know if this is going to be a simple build or will you be modding the twangers off it?
 
I dont' know why you went and bought all those rubbish components. I think you should give them all to me and buy some better ones.

Liking the look of the all the parts, need updates of the actual build now :)

Was thinking the same. But those are some interesting stuff you got there. Look forward to seeing it completed.
 
^ lol, i have not long known about this 'part' of the forum, since that guy in GD with his double post about system builds needing their own section, so i will be visiting these parts more often :p

bring on page 2! :D
