It was free, I ain't complaining. Running Windows ME, which totally SUCKS! I'm eventually going to shell out for a decent computer w/ several gigs of ram and a few terrabytes of memory, and an intel pentium core duo.

Is a terrabyte even necessary I doubt I will even fill a quarter of my hard drive

What'd you have prior to the one you just built?

Oh I regret buying a laptop from HP. It was an HP Pavilion dv4000. Couldn't upgrade anything for jack shit.
So I decided on customizing a desktop. I got free parts from a government friend of mine.

Hell I don't need to know shit in order to put stuff together. :P

Don't go with Vista anyway. All of the others suck except for Vista Ultmate.

I'm gunna give you a hesitant congratulations. Not all that sure that you actually built that rig though, but I'm not one to point fingers. Nice job man

Shit man I nearly fried some parts doing it myself. It is fun and quite simple if you actually look at it. It is the software I am going to have trouble installing since I am not much of a computer junkie. I am a more of a gear head putting stuff together.
And why don't you think I put it together?

PSU: Rosewill RV350 ATX 1.3 350W - $26

Hard Drive: SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD321KJ 320GB - SATA 3.0gb/s - $70
Money left over for shipping: About $30

And that's just going with prices from Newegg. If you did more extensive comparison shopping you could probably shave off at least another $20 and get a bigger hard drive or 4GB of memory.

You don't even know what the RAM is and you built it yourself.

Okay.

And I can't help but wonder this myself. AMD 2 point something? RAM unknown? Okay.

Damn man, you are one hell of a tech head. I think those are all my parts. And shipping was free cause I picked everything out myself. And the AMD isn't dual core, thats what I want to replace except it is actually physically impossible to take it out due to the large heat sync shoved right on top of it. I suppose it is powerful enough.

Ha yeah and spend about a couple grand for something that will be outdated in a year, while I can upgrade when I got the money.

DO NOT GET A LAPTOP. I dicked one out for about $1000 dollars and I was happy at first it could play a few games and it was decent. But as technology progresses it just makes laptops shit since you can't upgrade them. I couldn't play TF2 so thats why I got a desktop.

Na I had to do it myself.

Also: what's your OS?

Installing XP later, I don't feel like shelling out money for Vista and optimizing it.

i tottaly took the whole thing apart and put it back together and it works (i put cpu thermal gell on the cpu fyi, im not a total nub), but im still kinda scared

also, did you make sure to put thermal gell on ur cpu/heatsink? if you didnt itll fry ur cpu

Yeah I haven't gotten the monitor yet so I can't install any software, so I haven't turned it on often. Everything works fine and no static electricity has fried anything. Plus I need to go buy the thermal gell later, and I have like a fan on top of the thing so no need to worry. 5 fans should take the heat :P.

Clone PCs are full of headaches... should've just bought a brand name one like Dell or HP

I hate my HP laptop it is 2 years old and it can only handle playing WC3 Frozen throne. I can't stand it I need to play CS source and TF2. So I got my desktop and a good one at that.

But if you end building it right, it'll be your dream pc. Nice hardware you got, I'm too scared to make my own.

It is actually very easy just make sure not to fry anything with static electricity. They give you a band for that. Also you just plug in a few things into some slots and presto done and done. Rather pay $800 for a great computer than $1200 for a really shitty one that can barely play games

I built it myself. Isn't it obvious.

Note to self NG knows absolutely nothing about computers.

Case can slide off from the side.

Finally I got a new desktop and only payed $300 for it. The motherboard and graphics card were free so I can't complain about it.

Grapichs card : NVIDIA GeForce 7600 (Meh can't complain) Heat Synced
Sound card : Need to get that
RAM: 2gb unknown, but my dad examined it and said it was really good.

Motherboard : AMD 2 point something (Not Duo, and can't upgrade to intel because it's physcially impossible to take out anything from the motherboard) Heat Synced
Hard drive: Western digital 500gb SATA (Yay Highspeed)

Monitor : Will be getting a Sonic Vision 20 inch LCD
Speakers : Old ass Creatives from my basement.
Case: Smilodon comes with 500 watts system power and 4 fans built in.

So I got a decent computer for only paying about $300 maybe a little less.

Love you micro center

Some people have little will. I quit that thing within the first month, I got bored during fishing >.>\

A close second, however, would definitely be Half Life's gravity gun. That thing was just cool as shit.

Was it that gun that could shoot through walls?
That was fucking beast!
