Antec 300 case

OCZ Modxstream 500W

Asus VW192T 19" Monitor

cheapo 120mm case fan

 

Ive had almost a whole 'nother C2D rig sitting around unassembled for months so Ive finally decided to put it all together.

 

 

+ Gigabyte EP45-UD3L

 

Surprise, surprise I built another machine with my 680i, which was fully working when I pulled it out. It wont POST, I google the error code and its nicknamed "double dash of death" Whooopie!

 

*-$100* Cha-ching!

 

If I cant RMA the thing Im going to take a hammer to it.

Make a thread like I did. I would never dare to do that to my UD3L though, I love it. If one board is getting the hammer, it's the 780i I have, it died again and this will be the 4th rma in 2 months time! RAWR!

Whaaaaat? You STILL haven't bought a new mobo? Jesus Christ man, I thought you were gonna office space that one so savagely that all mobos around the world would play the funeral march on their integrated speakers?

College costs a lot of money :(

 

Only reason I ended up getting the PSU and graphics card was because my folks helped hoof some of the bill(b-day present).

 

Oh but don't worry. When I do eventually get a new mobo, I'll be sure to make a video of this PoS getting demolished. Fire will be involved.

Oh no, its my 680i thats going to get the hammer if anything. My UD3P has been great and I expect the UD3L to be the same.

 

Edit* ^ Lets build a rig with our hated parts, install Windows ME on it and burn it while its running.

For some reason this reminds me of a little rant I did about ultra PSU's and residual fail-fields...worth looking for if you're in need of a good laugh. I'm sure Waco remembers if it he decides to browse through this thread and sees this post :lol:

I doubt my preshot p4 fits on a 780i, but it's worth a try! :D
