The Stink PC is alive but it was very hard work.

[BetterThanLife]

Original PC spec.

Core 2 Duo E4700

2GB DDR2 667mhz

HD 7450

 

I did a video of that machines performance but with a spare C2Q Q6600 because C2D could not even handle MSI AB recording.

It is .... strange, the video turned out all shaky, don't ask.

 

 

The bits arrived today and the PC went from looking like this..

 

 

To this...

 

 

Still awaiting the memory kit i ordered, they are wonder ram.

 

The cooler is not meant to fit like that, i had to get creative and decided to man handle it instead and it looks in my opinion very stylish whilst also allowing it to function without hitting the video card.

 

The build process was difficult, large hands in such a tiny space and a bunch of cuts later...

 

But this is the final spec.

 

Core i5 3550 (with 3.7ghz OC)

8GB 1600mhz CL8 Hynix modules (do 2133mhz CL11)

600GB WD Caviar Black HDD
