Just wanted to say thanks to all of you pc guru's for all your help. Here are a few pics of my very first build and the specs. Let me know what you guys think. AMD Phenom II X4 3.0 GHz 4 GB RAM ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO Windows 7 x64
Looks very tidy:up: I'm no computer-builder-guy, but if saw that for sale it would spark abit of interest
Very cool :up: I'm working on something myself right now. Who'd you use for suppliers, and how were they?
I used a local shop in town. They were ok..but had a couple issues. Other than that it would be Newegg.com. Thanks for all the compliments guys!!
Not sure who she used, but I will give 10 :up:'s for www.newegg.com ... Great selection, excellent prices and awesome returns policy. Rebates from them (if they're offered) always go through unlike, say.. TigerDirect... I've built multiple boxes, both personal and work-related from Newegg components and always been happy with the results. I may be prejudiced, though. I shopped at the brick and mortar Egghead Software back when they actually had real stores. And they were great then as well. -jim
what kind of $ we talking to build something like that? id love to make a nice desktop for the house to run CAD and proE on
Nice job! I've built several myself... I always cross my fingers when I push the button and hope stuff works (otherwise I'm screwed!). 2nd Newegg! I've ordered stuff from them at like 3-4 CST and had it at my door the next day.
I spent roughly 600 for everything you see. DAYUM!!! Now you must explain!!:wow: Cause I am not sure what I am looking at here...lol. I feel newbish all of a sudden...hahaha.
Oh ok. My computer is cooled with proplyene glycol. That is tubing that is ran to waterblocks on the cpu, northbridge chip, southbridge chip, voltage regulator, and graphics card. They are connected to a pump and radiator. It's a bit of cooling overkill but I have the benefit of peace of mind. That is unless I get a leak.
That was what I thought...but was not sure. I thought about something like that as well but the thought of a leak scared me away! Looks awesome! What are the specs?
Thanks for the kind words. Not sure what kind of detail you're looking for but here goes.

Configured in a raid array. Running Windows 7 pro x64 That's all I can think of at the moment.
