I think its time to actually upload the photos of my finished computer.

Firstly heres the motherboard in my cleaned case with the CPU and cooler attached.
Mounted Motherboard

Here is the finished result:
Finished System
Not exactly the tidiest result, but at least its all there. Also you might see my USB bluetooth adapter thats now stuck inside attached to my PCI USB2 card. I probabily don’t need it, but the more USB ports the merrier.

Oh but wait, it gets worse, 350W generic POS power supply, that won’t power that. Oops noob mistake, should have checked that. Quick rush for a new 600W modular power supply, fitted it in and heres the actual final result:
Finished system with new PSU

I think that result is tidier. Air can actually flow, and it runs quite well.
Hope those pics are good enough for you Skillers ;)

Right, finally got round to building my computer, and while my Team Fortress 2 maps directory copies from one system to this new one, I can finally put the pictures of my computer being built.

Firstly, the parts that I ordered:

  • Corsair Memory 2×1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5 Corsair Memory 2×1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5 - £29.84
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53GHz - £75.18
  • Gigabyte S775 Intel P31 DDR2 ATX Audio Lan Gigabyte S775 Intel P31 DDR2 ATX Audio Lan - £41.46
  • Gigabyte Radeon 4850 512MB PCIE 2xDVI 625MHz/1.9GHz - £115.13
  • Grand Total: £261.61

Now, firstly my parts had arrived in a box that surely was too big for what it needed?!

And the parts inside the box:

The CPU:

45nm, “You are so small, it’s funny to me!” I believe would be the heavys reaction.

Such a big box for such a small processor?

Surely such a big box for this small processor?

Ooh it spins… hopefully enough to cool it down so I don’t melt my new processor.

The Motherboard:

Well, the processor fits on there, thats about as much as I know lol

Graphics Card:


Shiny box… let’s hope the graphics are as shiny :)

And the shiny graphics card, not as shiny as it’s box, but defnetly better than the nVIDIA 5200 that it replaces.

RAM:

2GB should be enough to let me actually use this thing lol

Ooh, maps copied :) I’m gonna now test this system and put more pics later :)
