lolz, no worries

 

Should I add Ohio State Buckeyes to the title?

 

Nice. I hope he likes it!

He loves it right now and talks about it a lot, I haven't even started anything, he just knows I have most of the parts.

 

I plan on taking pictures of course real soon, I was just waiting on some last minute items. Like the SSD and the new CPU.

Edit: I updated it with a stock picture for now

I love people like you who take care of their challenged siblings. Makes me realize there is still some nice people in this world. Looking forward to the finished build. Take care.

Thank You, he's a goober.

 

He loves watching 'Angry Grandpa' on youtube, it annoys me but he thinks it's hilarious. I scare him a lot, do you want to see a video? lolz I have a few.

 

I will take a picture of him and the finished build when completed.

 

Thanks for the kind words guys, it can be a challange sometimes but it's a great feeling to do something like this.

Looking good so far mate! I bet your brother is going to love it When can we expect an update?

He loves it, just the idea of it and it being Ohio State makes him go crazy with smiles. lolz

 

Well, I have to buy a lot of things this coming month, so I would say around the first week of December would be the best updates [When I will be able to get the paint]. Though I do do plan to start cutting and sanding around November 4th or so. I will make sure to keep in steady updates with everyone on the progress and on any new things that come to mind.

 

I will be checking in and updating the OP every Saturday with OSU scores and rankings.

That computer is quite spectacular to me, its a symbol of goodness! Also i have the same cpu in my current "gaming " pc.

Is this not meant for him to game on?

Well, I like that show too, but I'm actually 15. I think that would be great if you could post a pic of him enjoying his new PC.

Hey, the fourth is my birthday! I get a birthday present form someone I don't even know!!!

No, the motherboad doesn't support anything but a 1xpcie slot. He does really know how to play PC games that well. He likes playing on the Xbox 360 though. Football, baseball, basketball, and gta IV/V.

I can probably do some video of his first experience with it. I think a lot of it was funny just hearing a old man screaming and cussing at 3am sometimes can get quite annoying. I had to lower the volume some on his PC because of it, yet still the show overpowers everything. lolz

Awesome! I will make sure that I post something then for certain.

Another Victory for OSU!

[iwalkwithedead]

Update:
Bought Grey Paint
OSU is just destroying Purdue, kind of feel bad for them. lolz 49-0, Purdue is not doing so well this year though, 1-6

Just need a few more paints, red & black, and I can start sanding, modding and making this bad more look beautiful.

 

Edit: The final score is 56-0 OSU!

[iwalkwithedead]

Updates:

--Traded AIO Cooler, would not fit how I wanted it to.
-Start sanding towards end of Month, painting starts the first week of December. Still have to get some more colors, Black and Red
-Started Sleeving! with Lutro0 Customs! <3 Teleios Black and Teleios Dark Grey and the normal but still awesome Stiff-Line Red

 

*Also updated Post #3 with pictures

[iwalkwithedead]

Started the 24pin today, I need to purchases some White and some zip ties before I can continue.

I wanted to purchases some lighter gray but will not have enough money, so I have to stick with what I already have, dark gray.
