The Virtual Build log

[StarFire]

So, I have no camera to use for this (camera on phone is broke, got no classic camera, and my webcam cant take pictures) so you'll have to settle for images sourced from google.

 

But you guys encouraged me to do this anyway.

 

Let's enter the time machine and step back 3 months, I had just started building this.

web cam and printscreen, you can do it

[XTankSlayerX]

How bout you stream it on twitch hahah

[thekeemo]

theres online webcam picture taking tools

[DigitalHermit]

Use VLC to open the webcam video stream and take screencaps...

[StarFire]

I've commited to the method, you'll get an actual build log later, .

 

Dont ask, I'm being stubborn.

 

 

I had ammassed my first $50 from my less than reputable job, so the first part I bought was the 5350.

 

I had done alot of reading & have planned this PC out for a while now.

[Guest Philosophy]

This is interesting.

Next up came the motherboard. I saw a video on overclocking the 5350, so it convinced me to go with an ASUS.

 

I did my thing some more till I could buy it.

Dont forget, I want to take pictures of parts, and this is what I got to run right now, so there's an issue there.

I'll post a real build log whenever I a. Get a real camera, and b. actually get the courage up to take this rig appart.

Some good looking ram right here, if you cant tell, my build is pretty much black & yellow.

 

Not much notable about it, I bought it about a month after the cpu.

'snothing special.

 

Next up came the GPU. as soon as it was released, it was a smashing deal, when I managed to pick one up for $70 in a sale.

 

More uploading ensued untill I could afford the next piece.

Finally, the last 3 parts came at once.

 

The PSU & HDD are really not worth showing, but the case looks amazing.

 

Bought all 3 at once.

[StarFire]

So then we moved. from alibama to TX.

 

I had to drop the career, as it was no longer legal.

 

I never was able to buy the monitor, keyboard, or mouse, and the $5 headphones wernt cutting it.

 

Birthday rolled around, so I asked for perifrials.

 

Mom's asain (japanese more specifically, but she likes to travel back sometimes, I'd go with her if I didnt have school), so she brought back the best gift for my birthday ever.

A mechanical keyboard. the oker m31.

 

for the mouse, I ended up with something realativitly cheap, but it works well, and wireless.

Logitech M710

 

For headphones, I used a $20 giftcard & bought a pair of sony ZX headphones on sale.

And the best for last, my monitor.

Older, but still a great monitor, the acer x191w

[Jack.EXE]

Nice, I own a pair of those headphones, actually, they're nice.

Yeah.

 

Also, 100 posts!

 

just 400 left...

quick question, 

 

what kind of fan setup is goin on???

intake, outtake, pressure? 

 

and, from and audiophile's standpoint, where would you put those headphones? (they're on-ear right? comfort aswell if so. i got dem sensitive ears)

They're pretty good, not much to compare them to for me.

 

As for fans, I think I'm just running default, one intake, one exhaust.
