I've decided to build it myself, I found these self-help images to guide me so I don't expect to run into any difficulty.









Actually, here is the hardware I am getting

CPU: Q9400
M/B: ASUS P5Q Deluxe
HDD: Seagate SATA 1TB
RAM: 4GB Kit(2x2G)DDR2 1066 TEAM-XtreemDark
ODD: Samsung SATA DVDRW
G/C: 1gb ATI Radeon 4850
PSU: Coolmaster Extreme 550w
Case: I'll see what i like the look of

And don't fear, I can actually build a computer

rofl, that's just funny I have to admit

and wow Jaw, that computer's going to be pretty "BA", I know it's a little early but you might want to consider a blu-ray player if you watch movies on your computer a lot

but yah, to be almost off topic, that 32gb of RAM might be 90% useless, but it's the idea that it'll open up the future of computers more so we can make our computers faster and run heavier and better programs and especially games

Good specification

[jawfin]

I got all my bits today, now its time to start building

The case is a Coolmaster Elite RC-334, which is only a scratch above the cardboard box it came in

[Chantelle]

It should vent pretty well!

cheap cases vent awfully

Plus it looks smart. Was the Coolermaster expensive? what psu you get?

[jawfin]

Well, the case was $75 AUD, like 40 Euro? idk, maybe 55USD but i bought it very cheap, to compare my CPU was $363 AUD. it did come with a PSU, generic crap i bet (it sez on the box Standard ATX PS2), but i bought a special PSU Coolmaster Extreme 550Watt

I'll take a photo when its built if u like

[Chantelle]

I actually work in ££££s but they are up and down like a yoyo. probabaly £30

not bad price

yes take a picture please

[Melissa]

incidentally what OS did you go for?

[jawfin]

Vista 32bit to be safe. I use vmware and OllyDebugger and I'm sure a stack of other programs that 64bit just wouldn't like.

[Chantelle]

I agree with work stuff some vpn and remote control on servers didnt work too well.
