I was just thinking back of all the Computers i have owned and thats not many. My Best and most Loved build much have been my worst :P

It was way back in 2007 / 2008 and my grandad had a Pentium 4 laying around and asked me if i wanted a computer. I accepted the offer and he set to work getting the other parts he didnt have - case / PSU. So a week later i go back to his house and its all ready for me :D I dont remember many specs but all i remember was that is was a pentium 4 3.00ghz and a Abit motherboard. So the main reason i love it was Hot. Even being in the bios it was at 60c - 70c with the stock cooler and i never though of upgeading at the time because i was young and didnt have much money. So anyway my Brother started playing this game called World Of Warcraft and i wanted to join in. So i Installed it and got an acount. But when ever i tryed to play it was playable for about 2 mins then the GPU / CPU started overheating.. Will the alert of the Motherboard Beaping when i hit 90c on the Cpu and the game FPS droping loads.. So too stop this i got a 120mm fan and cable tied it too the GPU cooler as it was only a passive cooler and took the side panel off.. And it worked. I was able to play the game :D Not long after that i got my brothers old AMD duel core cpu which was a huge upgread from the Pentium 4. And continued to play World of Warcraft. But nothing realy exiting ever happened with that PC. 2 years later i got a Intel i3 540 and Overclocked too 4.20ghz and a friends old 285gtx.

Anyway A bit off topic my current Build isnt anything amazing but im happy.

Thanks for reading

Post any storys about your builds :D
 
My current build, it's my first build and a beast of a machine in my eyes :D

Most memorable? I don't even know what it was, something by Packard Bell back in 1999 when I was 6. Remember my dad showing me UT99 and that was it, I was a destined gamer for life!
