Peace, Penewah!

Excellent cabling job!!  Probably among the best I've seen here so far, did you do that yourself?

yup. did all the wiring work and built it from da ground up. not bad for a 16 year olds first rig eh?

My biggest complaint is the motherboard.  It has a nice feature list but it's way too picky about RAM.  I'm not a big fan of ASUS these days.

Originally built: 10/09/2006

I had originally intended for this computer to be my gaming rig.  I had planned on replacing the 7600GT with a couple 8800GTX cards.  Instead, I added a TV Tuner and transplanted the entire thing into a media box and put it in my media cabinet.  It now rocks my entire media world.  However, it does make me sad to think I could have built it today for a fraction of the price I've spent on it but this is the norm for computers.

Original build:

Yes, it was displaying on both monitors.  The CRT was shared by a KVM switch.

Current build:

Yes, it is displaying on both the TV and LCD screen.  The computer is on the bottom shelf of the media cabinet (behind the LCD screen and therefore not visible in the picture).

Not bad at all, haha.  Where did you learn to do the wiring like that?

i dont know lol. i guess its natural. i really dont like wires hanging around so i spent about 1 hour wiring the system and it will be much much cleaner when i get some modular PSUs. anybody got any recommendation bellow 100 bux?

Corsair has 2 modulars:

CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply

CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 620W Power Supply , but under a binjie is harder.

I had this Mushkin: mushkin 550200 ATX12V 550W Power Supply and it served me well. But after I got a Corsair, I noticed my boot times shortened noticably, and some games didnt lock up any more. I had always thought it was the 7950GT I was using at the time. But turned out to be the Mushkin, so I'll leave it at that.

There's some XClios and Antec under/around a c-note, but to be honest man, I'd just go for the Corsair.

May want to take this one to PSUs and get some wider views though.

Peace, Penewah!
