    Default Building a computer

    21 March
    Today a big box came, with parts for a new computer

    As I'm not completely crazy, I've been saving my money for three years now so I could buy this
    The stuff I ordered:
    • Case: Coolermaster CM 690 (€70)
    • Motherboard: Asus P5K-E (€120)
    • CPU: Intel Q6600, Quadcore ftw (€185)
    • RAM: Kingston HyperX PC8500 (2x1gb) (€70) (Waiting for it to be delivered)
    • Gfx: Asus 8800GT, 512MB, PCI-E ofcourse (€190)
    • PSU: Some cheap one, LC-6550 (Forgot the brand ) (€35) (Mark waits)
    • HDD: Some 200gb Samsung, SATA II (€40) (And waits...)
    Total cost including shipping fees: €740,-

    I ordered it at two stores yesterday. The first store is pretty quick: Today they delivered the Case, Motherboard, CPU and Gfx card. Second store comes soon but they need to import it, so it'll take a few days

    I just opened the big box and took a pic of the contents, http://i29.tinypic.com/igykba.jpg. (Yes I know of the Christmas lights, they've been there for a few years now -.-)

    I now gonna build it, and keep you guys updated

    Wish me good luck

    Today I messed with the CPU, the cooler, the Motherboard and the casefans
    Managed to put them all together, also plugged all the cables into the right sockets (I think).
