Hi everyone!

[Dom]

I got impatient, so I booted it up. The motherboards onboard debugging LED display showed no errors, I think it got past POST (No beeps), and all the fans and case accessories are working well. Forgot to plug in KB/M

It's looking like a computer, good job. Know that they make round IDE cables as well.

C2G GO!MOD - IDE / EIDE cable - UDMA 66/100/133 - 40 pin IDC (F) - 40 pin IDC (F) - 2 ft - molded, rounded - UV-blue at TigerDirect.com

Also seeing how short the cables are if you flip the PSU over then maybe all the power cables will run straight to the back panel and out the closest hole to the device.....just thinking?

 

[Dom]

I'll sort out cable management when it becomes an issue, the side panel covers the bottom part of the chassis anyway.
It has booted to BIOS, working perfectly, temp outside case ~23 degrees and the CPU is at 27 degrees celcius. This seem normal?

 

[Dom]

Now all I need to do is find that windows 7 install cd that has been hiding for the last year

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Yes loading a OS will help....lol. Great job and it's looking great and it's booted !

NB: Dont forget to Image your drive, once you have everything up and running!! Its a lot easier to restore an image, than re-install your OS..

 

[Dom]

As routine Tews

+1 to that.
Load all drivers, load all updates, load all software and AV programs and create your settings in all then image your drive and create a repair disk.

Well I'm down to two chassis fans due to my impatient to get cables looking tidy, but I was going to order new fans anyway.
I think I'm finished now, everything is installed. I'm going to go over everything again and then test

And yes, that is an IDE cable... IDE optical drive not SATA. Oh well

I am quite proud of how this looks. Just wish that graphics card was blue!

Thanks! You'd think a Windows Phone would let you copy photos over no problem... had to Print Screen in Zune

Well... I always wanted to build one when I had no money
So I just put items in a basket and gave myself a goal... and here I am

Hi Dom .... Nice rig

 

[Dom]

Thanks Maxie!

 

[Dom]

Last night I found that Windows 7 CD< and it turns out that IDE drive I bought does not open at all. I've just bought a 16GB USB 3 stick so I can install Windows that way. Should be done by Tuesday

So here it is lildomii .... and he is back in action

Feeling very good to see my friend back. I hope everything is going nice with you ... Tennis, 3D graphics and all?

 

[Dom]

Still playing tennis, haven't really touched graphics in a while
But once I have wireless internet for my PC I should be all good and occupied with that
I should have all my results back by mid-august. I'm already nervous D:
I'm also going to prom tonight... I promise I won't drink too much! (d)
Anyone know what happened to Abhishek Ghosh?

 

[Arc]

Abhishek is in his site ... the coutomize windows, and his dA group.

He is away from SF longer than you
