The "meme build" 1KW PSU, 10+ year old components

The "meme build"

1KW of non modular power for a P4 and a GeForce 8600!

 

 

So im calling this the meme build because i recently got my hands on a non modular 1KW PSU and then all my builds broke and i looked in my clauset and saw an LGA 775 motherboard with a chip with no name so i was like "sure, lets cry a but less and have some fun!" so i went to work!

 

I had all this stuff laying around basically, but the GPU is a pretty new aquiry, bought it for €5 because the cooler is just amazing(i had to put away my hate for ASUS for this one, like come on its just amazing ) and the PSU is also fairly new for me, aparently has some coilwhine but i never booted this machine because other shit came up and i had to take the GPU for some testing with Northern Bee and havent put it back in. The build is all built and documented though because i kind of felt i should have a "how to build a computer" thing documented or something  

 

So lets get into the specs:

CPU: Unknown LGA775 chip

GPU: ASUS Lets Game GeForce 8600

RAM: 2x512mb Sammy 2x512mb Kingston DDR memory because RAM is exepnsive ya know!

PSU: OCZ Z1000 1KW non modular pice of dank, 80+ gold but more like titanium actiually

Motherboard: some ATX thing from a Fujitsu machine

CPU Cooler: Scythe Big Shuriken 2B

HDD: WD RaptorX 10k RPM 150GB, another just amazing thing

Case: Cooler Master Elite 344u

 

 

 

So, onto the build pictures:

 

Spoiler

Look at all this RAM! 4x512mb!

got to make sure to remove this plastic or thermals would... uuu.. well they would probably be fine tbh, i dont think thermal paste is strictly needed here even tbh

a mightly beast like this needs all 4 screws screwed in! like, i think it would rip the metal if i tilted it forward without them, its MASSIVE!  just LOOK AT THAT SWITCH!

and LOOK AT THOSE CABLES! they take up more space than the PSU itself

 

And thats the build done! sorry for the shit quality, but the LG G6 just has a shit camera

 

It was an extremely easy build, the only problem was installing the cooler because i didnt read the instructions all the way through so what i had a problem with was done extremely easely if you just did it like they told you  The front case fan was also a right pain to mount, idk if you are suposed to thread the threads with the screws but thats what i had to do, and it wasent great tbh. never had to install a case fan with screws before, always used some of those Noctua rubber anti vibration mounts that i got with my Noctua industrial fans that got taken from me and swapped for some shitty Lian Li case fans but thats another story, one of selling the LAN PC lol. Build turned out pretty enjoyable, its not pretty or anything but its hilarious, 1000W of PSU thats 95+% efficient at every load for a damn Pentium 4(i think, could be a Celeron for all i know), 2GB of RAM and a GeForce 8600 is just silly and then a 10k rpm SATA disk ontop of that just makes this build dank memes  The case is utter garbage build wise, but hey at least the airflow is better than most things put out by the big bois in 2017! I would have gone with a diffrent cooler if i had had one, this one is suposed to go on the Toaster to bring down that 80C load temp a bit when the case is closed but for now the Toaster has its GPU in Northern Bee and the OS is screwed up and the SSD dead. 

 

This is just a random  build i put togetherer so i hope someone enjoyed it a bit at least, i sure had fun building it at least! Thanks for reading and feel free to ask anything about the build if you want

try getting your hands on 3870X2 or 4870X2, you gotta punish that psu yo.

they are wanted for my GPU collection(thats basically empty so far), love anything with two GPUs and even bettter are cards with two PCBs and crazy cooling  trying to cut down on my computer spending though tbh

GTX295 can be found for cheaper and most of them were dual PCB

well, i want every dual PCB, and dual GPU card i can tbh  didnt know the 295 was dual PCB though, thats news to me, i thought the last NVIDIA dual PCB card was the 9800 GX2 tbh

Many early 295s are as well

You might need a bigger power supply if you want to overclock.
