Woot! MY pc=Done...first build ever.

I'm guessing no, but I'll take a second opinion lol. Seriously though, just finished the other day. Sorry for the ugly wiring in the inside, i'm terribly lazy I'll organize it when I feel like it lol. BTW-I had 3 more pics of my humungous mess, but limit is 8. Tell me if you want to see lol.

Here it is

I wanted something that would look nice without me killing myself to do it lol. And it had USB/Audio/1394 ports already in the front.

I got to replace the psu though. I really should've done it already, but I'm now 2 days past my normal pay day w/ no pay lol....boss went on vacation.

It can stay in the BYOC forum but I removed the inline images. We need to be more considerate of the folks using dial up.

Nice man, what are the complete stats on it? I remember my first build (See sig), and I remember when I posted pictures of the finished product...great feeling. As for the wiring, just take you're time, I can't tell ya how many times I thought I had my wiring nice, but I ended up orginazing them tons of times, now I finally got them nice.

Congrats!

In respect to wiring, don't spend ages on cleaning it up. Just make sure none of them are going to fall into a fan or restrict good airflow. I spent a ton of time wiring mine, only to find out that my motherboard and harddrive bit the dust - took me half an hour to cut off all the things I had used to keep the wires in place before I could get at the hardware. You want it to look nice, but also be accesible.

Yeah, I'm about to go to work so I'll just type it out real quick, when I get home I'll give the links maybe.

Processor
1 GB Dual Chanel pqi memory (not on newegg anymore)
Motherboard
Vid Card
Harddrive
Optical Drive
Floppy

and the case above.

I screwed myself on the DVD Drive though. I thought it was a burner. And yea, my PC aint that great but I just wanted to build the best I could for around $600. (actually $500 there was about $100+ in tax and shipping lol).
