Redskins36 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I just got done building a new PC from scratch. All my parts were odered off of Newegg. If you look in my sig, you'll see the specific names of the parts. This is a pic of the case... I had just installed the PSU. Case again, but with the SLI Motherboard installed. Closer view, starting to come together. Mostly complete here, only thing missing in this pick is the video card which came a day later. Same pic, but this time the outer door is on. Picture with new keyboard, speakers, mouse, mouse pad, and 19" monitor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CmpFreak88 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Looks Nice. I can't see your video card in there, was it in there when you took the picture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins36 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Yeah the card wasn't in there when I took some of the pictures. I think it came a day or two later... thought I had a pic of it installed, but I guess not. Actually, it must still be on the camera. I just threw up 5 or 6 pics really fast. I was more or less just trying to show the phases of the build. I think I took some more pics of it in its complete stage... I'll pull them off the camera sometime and repost.

RichMayo Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Did you really buy an SLI mobo and only one video card. I know SLI video cards are expensive, but not maxing out that function had to hurt.... R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
godmode117 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 isnt setting stuf on top of anti-static bags bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 isnt setting stuf on top of anti-static bags bad? 476387[/snapback] Yes, yes it is........ Anti static bags are designed to keep static OUT of the bag, which results in a buildup of static on the outside of the bag. So it would probably be safer to put your mobo on your carpet than on the outside of an anti-static bag.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any needs currently that'll utilize the full ability of two cards. When gaming gets to the point where I'm starting to struggle, I'll easily be able to buy another 256meg card (which will be cheaper) to handle the needs. Upgradability is important to me when purchasing a motherboard. I tend to keep and use PC's for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
