Well, the name might seem cheesy, but its with reason. Even though some may look at this rig as just being some old 939 with some fancy bits hanging off it - it's actually a computer that is going to benefit me hugely, as I am starting an IT course in 3 weeks. My last parts have just arrived today, extremely looking forward to setting it all up this evening, even though it will take hours! :nutkick:


Pictures to come in a couple of hours. See my system specs for what the rig consists of, minus the extra hard drive which I haven't got yet. Oh and the case cooling system is still a w.i.p and stuck on the 'fabricating' stage for the time being.

I think that the CPU is not a grand choice! I take it you will be overclocking it yea?? my 3200 2.0Ghz is terrible now...thankfully ive got a new q6600 on the way :D " of course a new mobo and ram also :p "
Its always fun to get a new rig :D

Yep, the CPU was an `Egg special, $54 USD, so I thought it would do for now. As some people have previously mentioned to me on here, coming from my current Sempron 2600 (1.8GHz) I won't really care that the CPU is not an Opteron 185, but I will surely care that it is not a Sempron 2600, makes sense :P

In my house, the 8800 rules supreme, sorry socket A lovers... But this is what has become until I get a floppy drive for my raid drivers :banghead:

Oh and here is a shot of all my loot together, minus my PSU. My camera is chock full of about 200 4mb photos atm so I'm too lazy to upload more, the sun is down now also so will post up more tomorrow!
