Mines on order, and I'm trying to get a full NA setup at the mo lol

Hey Ben.That has to be the best looking case I,ve seen!!
I now officially want one for my next build!!
I just checked the price tho'!!
A tad frightening!

I haven't used mine for a long time 🙁 poor thing sits in the loft gathering dust.
I have a whanging great Antec aluminium case which had the PSU and hdds at the bottom in a separate compartment for heat reasons which was revolutionary at the time hehe! some tornado ( I think?) Fans that sound like turbos spooling up and a homebrew peltier TEC/watercooled setup lol.
Ahhh the joys of miss-spent youth 🙂

Just to make myself look even thicker 🙂 im guessing that would be the blue one ?

 

[BigTom]

Yup.

 

[Samuran]

Yep Yep, the one that says PCI E1 next to it 🙂

Looks like an OK board, should give you some scope to upgrade the CPU down the line if required (accepts Socket 1155 CPUs - i3/i5/i7).

 

[aliclarke86]

Its a cracking board

Good stuff, was worth the gamble then and the best bit is I got him down to £50 and got a 24" monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse 🙂

 

[aliclarke86]

Bloody hell! Have you tried booting it up? Ha

That's an outrageous bargain.

I'd be looking at putting a AMD 7750 or 7770 in there (£60-75) , or one of the equivalent new R7 cards, unless you're considering upgrading the CPU at any point, in which case it'd be worth spending a little more.

 

[sa80mark]

Yes its running now, its got windows 7 ultimate on it 🙂 upto now its playing solitaire very well lmao

 

[aliclarke86]

Come to think of it mate I played bf2 on my laptop no problem with the onboard hd3000 graphics an amd 7770 would definatly give it a kick though

Yeah, the kid is definitely going to want BF 3 or 4 now he's got a new computer though 😛

 

[aliclarke86]

True but bf: bad company 2 needs to be played. It was the best from the whole series so far
