:erm: Why the strategically placed ruler?
Not trying to emphasise the size of your components are you??:D

Like the stripped floorboards ;)

Re: Building my own PC
 

Exactly! I can't believe the size of that case :erm: As for the box the GPU came in.....thats huge as well. The GPU itself is very heavy :disturbd:

Thank you :)

Re: Building my own PC

Just waiting for the CPU now.....dabs are getting them soon.....next week prolly.

The case has 3 coolermaster fans in it already :tu: :D
Better get a new keyboard as well
.......and the OS ;)

Re: Building my own PC
 

Enjoy it while it lasts. You still have to build the thing remember :D

Re: Building my own PC
 

OS will be sorted over the weekend.

Don't forget to visit the Asus site for newer drivers for the board and GPU.

Note: The GPU uses 2 drivers .... the Geforce 6800 ones and the Asus Advanced ones. The Advanced ones allow the overclocking and the Asus SmartDoctor to work properly. If you update the Geforce drivers, you must either reinstall the Asus Enhanced ones or install new Asus enhanced ones. It doesn't stop the card from working, but Asus have obviously enhanced some of the features.

Just took a look at the mobo..........thats one mutha of a motherboard.....I think I know what 2 of the cables are for :disturbd:

The HDD's don't have any manuals with them..........so how do I mount them? :erm: :disturbd: :D

Re: Building my own PC
 

I have downloaded a copy of your user manual for the GPU and the MB, so if you want to talk things through then call me :D

Re: Building my own PC
 

two screws in each side go through the HD caddy and into the drive

you might foind that they are with the case as they wont be with the drives by the looks of it you have got bare drives

Re: Building my own PC
 

By the looks of the case, there are plastic rails to slide the drives in and out. Normally attached to those plastic rails there are screws. Attach the rails to the sides of the disks using the screws. With the amount of space you have leave a bay space between the drives .... airflow ;)
