Also decided to take pictures of it whilst I was building it:

THang is I don't have a Facebook, so I can't see the lattermost pictures.
Congratulations regardless.

 

[Sir Ollie]

Whoa! that setup is awesome

This would be great to look at, but sadly I do not own a facebook. Sounds amazing though =D

You should be proud of your accomplishment. I bet it runs great and should play anything you throw at it.

Thanks. I am. I'm actually starting my own business because of it, I enjoyed building my computer so much that I'm going to be building them for other people too, got an investor, a business plan and everything so far

EDIT: Tried embedding an image onto the page for those who don't have Facebook but failed epicly lol. If someone could tell me how then that would be great. I thought you would've been able to see the pictures since my account isn't on private or anything. As soon as I find out how to embed the images then I shall do so here

Holy Hell. The only thing that's a little bit lacking, and it's not too big a problem is that something tells me all that power is going to waste on a 19" monitor.

Nice Job, though.

Good solid setup - nice to hear you're being an entrepenur (wrong spelling I know, feel free to correct)over this.

I'm going to buy another monitor when money permits, most likely a 22" one this time. Been saving for quite alot of time for this, knew nothing about building computers but wanted to learn so I chucked myself in the deep end lol. I like to try new things.

Thanks Ollie and Alpha. Uploading pics to Imageshack now

 

[Fingerprint]

Stunning

 

[AlphaOmega]

that looks quite cool, when I had this computer I still had a crappy desk for it, so even tho my case has lights and colored fans and everything I dont really get to see it.

 

[Quel0]

looks nice, the 8800 will reign for a while still as a great card for the money (dont bother with sli). Only things I would upgrade is building my own speakers (only because I love building speakers) and getting a better mouse (I have tons of mouses)

 

[GyroCaptain]

That's 4 times the computer I have in most respects, but I've got the X530 Logitech setup and a 22". Very noice.

 

[Arcyde]

That looks amazing.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Very nice setup, just wish Mass Effect was on the screen instead of an RTS. I hate the genre...

But you managed to fit it all in a rather small space. Good job.

 

[Da_Schwartz]

Nice rig, pretty similar to mine cept i use a samsung syncmaster 2232bw plus monitor. Why so much harddrive space?

Just because really. Got quite alot of files already that I've moved onto there. Plus it's always good to have more than not enough
