Nice.

The first PC I built also booted on the first try; I nearly fell over. Windows loaded perfectly; I nearly passed out. It's two years old now, and I'm still waiting for the sky to fall.

I'm thinking of a new build soon around your same processor.

you only got 512 ram?

Last Christmas (not the recent one) I built my PC. Very fun experience especialy, since I was saving up for it for a year. It was like almost top-of the lin e then now it is really outdated. That's one thing I hate about PC building. In 6 months most things are outdated.

Looks like 512 x 4 from the pics

Wow, amazing system. Wish I can afford some of the stuff in there

exactly how i felt on my first build

 

[Flumoxed]

why did you decide to go with 4x 512mb configuration of ram?

 

[Mercuttio]

Awesome, I can hear my computer plotting its own suicide AGAIN. Damned thing made one attempt last week, and I doubt it'll be the last.

Building computers is fun but i can say the best thing i ever did for my computers was i went to silentpcreview which completely changed my computing habits

SPCR is great, after going there I got isolating rubber fan mounts for all my fans, a fan controller, and chopped the front and rear fan grills out of my case (to restrictive, made air turbulence noise)

the result is a very very quiet Tsunami
