Where's your story? I assume most people came here because of that?

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

I don't have one, but my friend built a PC for free from parts out of a dumpster.

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

My Scrap Yard System

 

 

I spent today only $150 yes I said it

 

I got

 

Intel 3930K

AsRock 79X Exstream4

4 X 4 GB Ram = 16 GB Ram

AMD 7970 Refrance card

1000 Watt Power Supply

250 GB SSD

 

The owner just wanted it gone and had forgotten what was in it so when I got it home I had hit the jackpot

 

 

 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

My second rig... Too bad most of the parts are going to most likely be sold to a friend and then I probably won't rebuild it.
