  1. Hey guys, After watching your video I got really excited and decided to build my own testbench(I often repair computers and the hustle of taking of the cover of my case was to much for me at this point) and because I don't have a lot of money I started looking for some scrap parts. I found this great motherboard with cooper pipes for about 20 $ and decided to put on a big old cooper radiator form cooler master I believe, to mach the motherboard. I got a QuadCore Q6600 LGA775 CPU from a pc garage sale for about 25 $ and 4 sticks of 1GB DDR2 for about 20 $ As you can see in the pictures below I had a crappy video card and I did not afford to buy a new one, so I stared digging trough my box of dead parts and found a GT 9600 1GB form ASUS and got it to work using the oven method from that video Linus made, but the problem was that the cooler was broken. I could of went to the local store and bought a new one, but since this was a scrap build I decided to adapt an LGA775 cooler instead. I built the case of the computer form some plastic sheet I had and a threaded rod and because i had a lot of free space under the motherboard I decided to place 2 speakers with built in amplifier in there and use a 1 to 7 USB hub with blue LED's to mach the motherboard. The power supply and the harddrive I allready had, so I did not have to buy new ones. I invested around 80 $ into this computer and I belive it turned out great.
