Old pc mod

[Gamer76]

Well lookie here lol 
Turns out the graphic card is fine, just the vga port is stuffed. So lucky my monitor has dvi-d port and I hooked that up instead. Voila it works!!  then I couldnt play my games on it ...  I scratched my head thinking for a while and decided to download the graphic card driver ....  So I managed to find one online.  
Now everything works as a beaut.  cheers everyone.  Ok here's some piccies for you to perv on lol ... jk

 

I had to redo the CPU fan that i used from i7 2600k fan and broke these lil tabs on it .and managed to fit it on to 775 cpu heatsink.  The heat reading is so much better ..it used to be 50 degree (room temp is 25degree)  so i swapped the fan around and it sits 35 degree idle nicely.

 

Mini bookshelf i found from OP shop $5 and painted it black and added white shelves. cheap and freebies PC games here

 

See the  Halo working

 

Sanitarium , finally I get to play this now

 

Last pic of my setup along with my gaming rig on the right and you can see the PSU on the floor. 

 

thanks everyone

Why go through all this trouble when you could run a VM with Windows XP and probably get better framerates? :tongue:
