My new PC is now built

[Johnathan Lyman]

That's a nice setup you got there! It almost makes me want to show off my rig in it's sexy new Cooler Master HAF 932 case

Maybe when I upgrade my mobo and add a 2nd video card, go from 4 to 6 cores, and go from 4 to 8GB of ram, and a 2nd display of course.

When I was enquiring on here for info about the best components for my new build I was asked to provide info and pictures on how it went - so here goes .

My components turned up last Thursday at about 2PM. After unwrapping and admiring, I immediately started the build.

I started by installing the CPU, cooler, sound card, and memory into the motherboard BEFORE installing the motherboard. This gave me more space to fiddle about with the cooler mount etc. without the constraints of a case. As you can see, the Zalman cooler is quite a bit bigger than the stock item that came with the CPU :shock:

I then installed the PSU into the case. As you can see from the photo, it had to be installed upside down due to the bottom mount.

Next the motherboard was installed into the case and power supplies connected.

I then installed the GPU's and connected the power supplies and Crossfire link.

Next job was the swapping over of the 3 sata HDD's from my old machine to the new. These were installed and so was the new DVD drive.

All the wiring was checked and double checked, and then made as tidy as possible. The side panels to the case were replaced and I was ready to go. (I did try to boot the machine with the case side off, but got an open case error message. Don't know how as there are no open case detectors on the case or M/board )

Below are some more pictures of the finished machine. To see all the picks click this link:

IMO...
You need at least 1 good solid state drive to full benefit all the power from ur baby
