First Build is Done! *PICS*

[Waylay00]

Update! - My GT is here!

3DMark05 = 7369

BF2 Frames = 60-80fps 1024x768 4xAA/8xAF; All settings maxed out


Hey guys, first off, I want to thank all of you for the tremendous amount help you have given me for the past year. Also, thanks to mechBgon, as your guide really helped too!

Anyways, I proceded with caution as I slowly began building. After about 6 hours of tedious work, I hooked up the monitor, and waited for the moment of glory - pressing the power switch. So I did, and boom! it POSTS! I was a happy camper...

Here's the specs -
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego
XP-90 with Panaflo L1A
2GB (2x1GB) OCZ EL Platinum CAS 2-3-2-5
eVGA 7800GT CO Edition (470MHz)
WD 74GB Raptor
LiteOn DVD/DCRW Combo
Antec TP II 2.0 550w sleeved with UV Blue Sleeving
Thermaltake Tsunami
Logisys UV Cathode

I guess it's not bad for a 13 year old.

Thanks,

I'm 15, I know how you feel, dude.

I built my computer last summer (when I was going to 9th grade). I bought all the parts in one day, and it felt so good seeing that "Platinum" splash screen (post) when I booted for the first time. Well done!

EDIT: It was my first computer I built myself.

EDIT2: Take a new pic of you looking happier (the last pic).

Very nice d00d, & nice choice on the case
I have the Soprano (very similar), & quite like it
