My new PC with Pictures

Congratulation Liono.

Make it bleed my friend. 😉 Great System. ❗

Happy flights.... 😀

Congratulations Liono

A great machine you've got yourself there. I only wish I could make myself a computer too! Well done again 👍

🍻

👍 Congratulations, you did it. That gives my confidence a boost, I hope I'll be that fortunate to get it done right.

Enjoy!

Congratulations and nice system spec!!! 😀
Looks like you will be more or less sorted for when fsx comes out.

My congratulations as well!!!

Very nice machine Liono, and some great specs to go with it too! 👍

great job Liono!!! well done!!

Congratulations Liono!

What kind of PSU do you have and what kind of heatsink?

Cheers for the kind comments guys. I was a bit worried that it wouldn't work at first. I just made sure that I had the basic commonts fitted and fired it up. If anything went wrong at this stage it's easy to find out the problem and then try again.

At the moment I have the stock heat-sink & fan at the moment, this will BE changed next month.

Here is where I got my hardware from ➡
www.rlsupplies.co.uk

This was only about 30min car journey from where I live. I have also brought from here as well ➡
www.overclockers.co.uk

Overclockers are very good and quick delivery as well. I highly reconmend both of them.

This took me about 2hrs to put together and you can find some very usefull information in some of these magazines that can be found in
WHSmiths
Tesco
Asda
Sainsbury

Hope this has helped you out.

Nice PC Liono!

Thanks for the additional info Liono. You seem to have made the right choice of motherboard too 👍

Here's a little update.

Yesterday I took all my information of my old PC and transfered it over (very long process with 1 monitor and 512MB data stick)

Then I thought why not take some of the parts and stick them in my new PC. I took my old sound card and transfered my Heatsink and Fan over. Here was the part I started to worry. Did I still have the left over screws and spanner from when I brought the fan in the first place.
Luckly I found them in a box under the bed. Changing the fan over went quicker than I thought and a lot easier then P4 went. Anyway here the lastest picture with everthing installed a running like a dream come true

All I need to do know is invest in a slient fan (500W+) and add some lights on the case. I think off adding the green and blue from here

Anyway that's it from know

Regards,

Liono

Hey, well done on your PC build 👏
That moment where you power up for the 1st time
Well you've done it now,you might just find yourself building one every year

This made me laugh. I was facing the same dilemma - except my stick only had 256MB capacity. So the folks here in the forums suggested to burn everything on DVD media - problem was, I only had a CD-burner at the time. Got myself a spindle of 25 and used about 20 of those I think. But even with the CD's it took me all night to transfer everything. With a 512 stick that would have taken you all weekend.

I've been curious about the side panel of your case - just had a look at your latest pic but can't make out whether you have to losen screws in order to take it off?

BTW, if you're worried about extra screws, they sell inexpensive assorted packs in Electronic stores.

I could of done that Tailhook but I sstuiply put my DVD burner in my new PC and kept the CD burner in the old one . The good thing was I only had to swap a few music files and a few documents so it wasn't that bad.

The screw's to take of the panel are located at the back like any other case. I have two small bags full a screws that can fit the case so I won't run out anytime soon.

Yea I was wondering about that. I got so sick and tired of undoing those screws and dropping them all over the place everytime I wanted to open the case. I had a technician fix my computer once. After he'd left, I straight away took the side panel off because I wanted to have a look-see.
He'd left one screw inside the case without replacing it and he'd worn down the thread on the other one, which is easily done. Ever since, I'd been ogling a simpler solution and now use a side panel with 'lock' I think they call it. No screws, just fingertips.

Good luck with your further mods.
