we're building Mike a gaming PC (recycled thread)

[flex wood]

Aww shit s1mp just won the thread.

Street fighter 4 is going to be in the next community choice sale, we gotta get mike to buy that. Actually if there is a 4 pack someone grab it because I don't have it on PC and green man has a pretty sweet discount on the upgrade to ultra right now as well.

Asus P6T Deluxe V2

i7 920

Goodnight.

wait, what? IS this a joke, or are you a total hero to this thread?

Serious as a heart attack. Does he need the 750w PSU I suggested as well? FWIW, it's not modular.

[noiseredux]

he does still need a PSU. 750 is prob extreme overkill, but he does still need one haha.

i'm still trying to source a bigger HDD but i have this 320GB here if you still need/want it.

I need to PM back noise and s1mple - haven't had a chance to really look at what either sent me...crazy busy weekend, but should settle down here Tuesday.

[noiseredux]

PROGRESS!

A big box arrived to me today from Frag Mortuus...

Here's Mike's new case:


It's really huge, so plenty of room to work in. You'll notice there's already a DVD drive installed, as well as card-reader.

And a 160GB:


Though aaron suggested he may have a bigger one.

That's what she said.

Also in the box, a couple of extras - a USB card and wireless card. Not 100% sure we'll need both, but good to have options...




Huge, huge, THANK YOU to Frag, who only asked for shipping costs in return. Solid guy!



And here's what I had set aside for him...


A Radeon 6670:



Ok, ok, so it's now starting to look like a box of pieces. So who else can add stuff?

[Frag Mortuus]

Yeah, If you have some canned air or an air compressor the thing could use to be cleaned out. I started to but ran out of air

Looks like all he may need from here is a PSU, MoBo and matching CPU.

[s1mplehumar]

Still have said parts. ^ Let me know, Mike. No rush.

[Stark]

This is cool, awesome work guys.

[aaron]

yeah i have a 320GB, haven't been able to source a bigger one just yet MIGHT be able to get one eventually, but i can send it directly to mike who should have no trouble swapping it out.
