well me and Skitz set off to build my custom built computer
and the title says it all
nah, j/k
we started of with a bunch off parts, thank god for skitz b/c I was sick as a dog and took some medicine and was pretty foggy...not good when trying to assemble $3600 of parts.
Day1 started at 8pm and we finished puting all the parts together.
press power and she runs like spotted ape... except no video...
now that the wives are sleeping on the couch and yacking in our ear, we decide to work on the video power tomorrow.
(many picture to follow when skitz d/l from cam)
Day2 I am haxed...feel like crap, am completely horse so I go to the doc,, and get stuck in the arse...wife has lasik(sp?) pre -sugery appointment to go to, I will be away from the beast all day...:eek: Skitz and Abidabi pick up the machine while I go to the parents for an early b-day party so they can fix it up.
Rich PIN's me on the blackberry...we have power for video...wohoo!!!
call later and they were not able to proceed due to lack of a worthless floppy drive to set up the raid...Rich offers while I am at work tomorrow to fix it up and install the xp...what a guy!!
Day 3 Rich calls me at work @noon and advised the computer is a go and he has installed all the basics...even teamspeak.
What a guy...hey.
Great job Skitz and a really appreciate your help and patience, I owe ya one!
final specs:
AMD 4800+ X2
2- XFX 7800 GTX 512
ASUS AN32 SLI mobo
2GB corsair DDR433 3500LL
2 120 Gig Baracudda (I think .7) 8.5ms seek (raid 0)
Lian Li pcv1000 case
620 Watt Enermax Libety PSU
now I can not wait to get home and test it out.
