Hey everyone! I have a few pictures so far of my old, according to linus "Logically laid out lunchbox" lol it's a silverstone ITX case and it really is such a tight fit in there as you'll see. I never had to build my own computer, I can diagnose and troubleshoot things but I never had to actually build it, because my neighbor was always there and that was his favorite hobby, building computers. We;;, unfortunately I don't have the luxury of relying on my friend anymore as he has departed from these plains of existence. So now I set off on my own to try and better learn what he loved. To do that I've decided to take everything apart and put it back together to finally learn ,in memory of him, how to build a computer. I'll be transplanting everything into this Corsair240 and will be using an AIO for the first time. wish me luck.

it's all up and running so no troubles. I'm waiting to do the nit picky cable management for when I pop in my red LED fans. I did basic cable management for the time being. Honestly though with the Corsair h55 Quiet I'm idling at 5 degrees celcius, compared to 25 on my stock cooler. I'll add the rest of the pics once I do my second pass on it. I'm still waiting for custom badges and stickers and the damn HUEHUEHUE to get back in stock lol

Finally finished! Don't get too upset over the cable management.. I'm waiting for my Linus Tech Tips Noctua fan and my Led fan to come in and then I'll really god to town on managing the cables. Other than that this my my first build. My friend who helped me build the silverstone case died a few weeks ago. I vowed then to make sure I could build and diagnose computers. 

Specs:

CPU: Core i5-2500k 

GPU: Asus Strix Gefore GTX 960oc 4gb GDDR5

MOBO: Zotac H67 1155 socket mITX

Cooler: Corsair H55 Quiet 

Case: Corsair240

Monitor: Benq 3d ready 144hz 1ms refresh rate.

 

Tell me what you all think for my first build!!=D :) remember I'm just waiting on my fans to get here so I can finish up the cable management.
