Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

Nice build, welcome to the world of computer building ;) Was it easier than you thought it might be?

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

i guess you are happy then :D , whats the spec of it , is it a good gameing machine or a gp machine :)

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin

Was an ex panel jockey for Granada tv for a while, so it was not has daunting has i thought it might be.

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

Bleh. Mine's more w00t than that. :)

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

I have that exact case. Or rather had, I built a new one a few weeks ago. :P

sorted , onwards and upwards , you never know you might be recruited soon enough :erm: :D :D :D

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

A complement i hope :D It's a state of mind where everything is cool.
Wootness differs from chonkey in the sense that it is more 'style-related' : how you do things from day-to-day and how they end up based on the approach you took to do those things you do.
When all things are going well in your own life, that's when you know that the wootness flows through you like water - it's a part of you - it's natural to you...When everything goes your way - or for the most part goes your way - that's when you know you have the power of woot within you...All of us do, it can come from time to time - or disappear for a long time, or simply stay w/ us our whole lives - we just have to believe in it...

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

Yeah but people build systems tailored to their needs, means and abilities so it's not bad for a first build :)

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

That's the coolest post I've seen in a long time. I feel woot right now so know what you mean. Repped accordingly!

PS Pass me whatever you're smoking right now, it sounds good.

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

I find and im sure a lot of people will agree, that when you custom build a system you build it to the specification you want, which also in turn suit your needs as well.

I swear there's an echo in this forum :erm: :p: ;)

Ok, I'm with AlanMelon, What have you been smoking drinking tonight lol :D

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

Are you okay? You've not had a bump to your head have you? :)

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

Its the herbs on his pizza.

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

It really is a great feeling once you complete your first build.
Its nerve racking when you first press the power button but once you've passed that stage you can begin to feel good and think about how much you learnt in it all.

Great stuff. :tu:

Just goes to show how if you give it a go, you CAN build your own system. Once you've figured a few bits out, its rather simple.
And even if you get problems, theres always people here ready to help out.

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

wot he said :tu: :)

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

it is really good when you get all the bits to work together.....

my most recent svcd was brilliant, for example, it involved a little bit of overburn, which seems to have worked :)

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

Brave bloke :nworthy:

I keep toying with the idea myself, when I get the cash together, which hopefully will be soon before this old wreck packs in :erm: There are few standards though and a huge choice of parts - all a bit of gamble whether it'll work or not. Just don't fancy wasting money like that - would much rather go for a pre-built to my specs system.

This part will work with that part but only with this other part but your system will be faster if you just use this other part instead, but that... :spin:

Re: Hey up i'm no longer a virgin
 

I had that problem but with help from peeps here it was fairly straightforward really...the only tricky thing was connecting the leads (power on, etc.....) to the mobo and installing the raid drivers (which you probably won't need to do) . Putting my PC together was easy and installing windows was a step by step procedure. If you have done things like replace CPU's/power supplies etc already, you should be fine with building a system from scratch........
