Ordered PC Parts - Few Questions

[Nodz86]

Iced did you take any pics of the building process??

[Iced_Bullet]

Nope. Everything has a place and my motherboard instructions combined with an online tutorial (didnt actually use this much) and the other manuals made the job easy. We just took our time as it was our first build.

 

* by we I mean me and my dad.

 

The case is still open on my desk if you want some pictures of it built.

Mine took me about 2 hours to build and start xp installation, probably do it in 30 mins if i was on my own

Started at 7.30pm was installing Vista at 10-10.30pm. I only just finished installing all the drivers 1 hour ago xD And have 200gb fill already :ill:

OK, when I have time (when I cba) seeing as you don't need them urgently :p

...with an online tutorial...

 

Ahaha, surely that's useless if you're building your first PC? xD

 

It's like a error we had t'other day when booting a PC - 'Windows cannot detect a keyboard, press F1 to continue'

[Iced_Bullet]

I printed it out before, then realised we had mum's laptop anyway :p There was Dad's Desktop, my Previous one and my brothers all with net, so there was plenty just incase xD

[hesonly5]

Well yeah, I gathered you were okay, but it wouldn't be useful for someone else who didn't have another PC xD

[Iced_Bullet]

They can always print them out =]

[Iced_Bullet]

Yeah go on then, lets see your handy work

Finally bothered to upload the image today :p

The Mobo sire has been tucked behind the Power ones, to make it slightly tidyer. It may not look tidy but everything is out of the way of the front air intake and the 2 fans. Which is what I aimed for!

 

I also removed all the extra HDD bay slots, to further increase airflow haha! I dont need 3 empty ones sitting there blocking the air flow thank you very much!

Looks good Iced, bit dusty though :cheeky:

[Iced_Bullet]

It's the sound card which we've had for 5 years :p

[hesonly5]

My computer's waay more dusty than that :p Well, it was until my Dad hoovered it out XD
