Welcome back.
FINAL UPDATE: 22:49
17:55 - my hands have been aching all day today. Plus am really, really tired (slept at 4am, can't remember much of the Brütal Legend demo tbh). Also, received the PSP Go today (more on that later!). Currently - PSU, hard drives, VGAs, and sound card installed. Need to install DVD/BluRay drives and then wire everything up.
19:42 - I "think" everything is connected. The case has 6 (!!) fans to power, and being a bit obsessive I've given each one it's own seperate molex. There are 3 HDDs and 2 Optical Drives, giving a total of 11 molex/sata power cables. Luckily, almost all of them I managed to tuck behind the cable management tray.
20:23 - The moment every PC builder dreads - the first power on......
20:24 - The moment every PC builder dreads even more - the power on that makes a horrible noise, like a fan is hitting a loose cable. Must investigate
20:44 - a cable was hitting one of the VGA fans. According to the BIOS, all drives are detected and the CPU fans/temps are fine (27 degree idle?!). No idea Re: timing/voltages/overclocking, something I've never done before.Time to connect all the USBs and try to install Win 7.
In other words, let the software war begin!!!
21:54 - WE ARE LIVE!! This is a Windows 7 x64 blog, from the new PC!I did the brave (foolish) thing of closing everything up and assuming it's all ok. Till now, all the hardware is there but no drivers.Will go now for an hour or so to watch Peep Show and talk to the missus. Last few updates and a couple of pics later.
PS - it's FUCKING FAST.
22:48 - Installing VGA/Sound drivers. Not sure I can keep this up any longer, am tired, and am working 13 hour shifts both days this weekend. I might hit the sack with the PSP - Pinball Fantasies is out on it today!!!!
SO - Good night for now. Pics and more tomorrow!
