after being in the industry for 10 years building over 1000+ PCs, i usually change to a new system every 18 months -bowroflarms Thermaltake Armor Case w/ 750W PSU Intel BADX2 board Intel Q6600 Generic 4GB DDR2 RAM Onboard Video 8x HDD (about 5TB) 2x DVDRW 2x 24" 1080P LCD but now got bored of it and went to photography and keeping this PC for another 2 years before changing...i will change back to a single core Celeron or something
it has great stability, asrock as well as it is made by asus as well of my long building experiences ppl would ask for asus boards; i have tried foxconn and they are great too, same warranty terms as asus and many things are made by foxconn too, if you look closely to the parts on the motherboard (ex: lga775 socket bracket is made by them); dell uses foxconns boards, even SE phones are made by foxconn factories; people never liked intel boards but i have used them before and current systems, i don't see why ppl don't like it;
how do you "clean up" cause i want to do this with my comp and like where u hide the cables or wateva =P sorry im a bit of a noob CPU: AMD AM3 Phenom II x2 550BE Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P RAM: TEAM 4GB DDR3-1333 HDD: Seagate 500GB (ST3500418AS / 7200.12) GPU: 1GB 4870 Powercolor CASE/PSU: Thermaltake M9
^give him a "thanks" and maybe he will pm you some help -bowroflarms That aside, bench it like we did on page one.
anyways, i found the solution for the stupid "Can not find EIO.DLL" Asus has a coding problem. the path to the registry started with "C?\" instead of "C:\"
i'm gonna build a new one after christmas, haven't planned out the specs yet but most likely a high-mid tier specced computer for gaming and application multitasking.
Ahh gotcha. Thank you, wise one. There are a few things you can do that range from the easy to a bit more extreme. Tying cables together with zip-ties is an easy way to get started. Finding empty space in the case to tuck wires into is also easy to do. You can also try routing your wires behind the motherboard tray and tuck em in obscure parts of the case. If you're serious about wire management, you can do some more extreme things like cutting holes into your motherboard tray to route cables behind the motherboard. (See pics)
^^^ unless you find those sweet spots on your motherboard... cutting holes into it is quite a ballsy move lol
naw mang, measure it out and you are good. measure twice and cut one. keep in mind this is just the case you are cutting.
Lol. They're making fun of my typo. The best place to make the cut is usually the behind CPU mounting point. It's usually roughly in the same place and having the hole on the motherboard tray directly behind the CPU makes swapping heat sinks very easy.
the fuck? you're MAKING a case? hell, just slap two antec 300s together, slap some wheels on it and you get a sick, movable tray/case edit: i just gave myself an idea... i should so add wheels to my case..........
