418 days. 8000 posts. Damn, I love this place. For all of the bad here, the good outweighs it.

Now that I let that all out, let's get on with this.

 

So, I have been piecing together a little secondary PC out of spares and cheap parts I have been able to get over the past few months. I have only really told people who frequent the Unofficial Teamspeak Server about this one, so not a lot of people know. (Come on down sometime! teamschnitzel.ltt-unofficial.com) Some parts were from my first PC, some from my sisters, a few from a recent ongoing Micro Center deal and some as eBay specials.

 

First, the specs:

Inte Pentium G3258

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (as soon as Cooler Master ship me replacement hardware for it) for now, the Intel Stock Cooler

MSI Z97 PC Mate

8GB Crucual Ballistix (2x4GB 1600 MHz)

Toshiba MK5065GSXF 500GB 5400RPM Apple co-branded HDD

Dell OEM NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX 768MB

Diablotek EVO (hopefully will be replaced, by my C70 or an NZXT Phantom series case)

Antec VP-450 (I know, not 80 Plus Cert., but it had good reviews and is all around adequate)

 

Pictures will be included in the following post, and I will be taking more pictures once the PSU arrives and I build it up more. Stay tuned for more!

8800GTX -- I got it on eBay for $30, works great other than temps. I want to get a new cooler for it, but I feel I am better off getting a more powerful GPU.

Fans -- From a Cooler Master Seidon 240M, I plan to use them in push/pull on the EVO even though I know it wouldn't perform much better.

The case/motherboard/CPU/cooler/wiring -- Diablotek EVO, came from my sister's first rig. The cable extensions came from my Zalman Z11+, the motherboard and CPU of course as previously mentioned.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO -- bruised and battered, hopefully going to get the mounting hardware from Cooler Master. If not, I may just get a be quiet! cooler.

Mesh Covers -- I don't know whether I am going to paint them or not.

Random bits and bobs -- HDD, 3.5" converter, cable extensions, Molex-6 pin adapter, SATA cable, USB sound card, USB Bluetooth adapter.
