Project: Pink Paradise

[Fuganater]

My girlfriend has been wanting a computer that she could play some games on. (WOOT!! :banana: :banana:) So I said I would build it for her. She asked me if she could name it? Like I did with Green Light (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?p=143574#post143574). I said ok what do you want to name it? She said "Pink Paradise".

She needs it for:

Email
Sims
Sims 2
Word, Excel, Powerpoint
AIM
Other misc. games


Not a huge gamer but I'm working on her :D. So here is the part list:

Nice thing is that she is going to use my extra 17" LCD monitor till later in the summer when she buys her own. Also I was able to get a 80GB SATA HDD from school which saved some money as well. It will deff be worth it and i think it will look kinda cool.

It was all ordered yesterday and will be showing up Thursday and Friday for a build day of Friday and install probably Saturday. Pics will come when the stuff arrives!

Till then,

I do apologize that I never finished this thread long ago. I'll get some new fans and put UV or Pink LEDs in then this will be done... again :P.

Cheers till later.

Much cleaner wiring lol.

It's all fun until you need to add a hard drive.

: P

It does look 80x better compared to before, and i see you leveled your cable sleeving skill up +10 over the years.

[TheMainMan]

What's your source for the para cord? That looks like a pretty tight weave compared to most that I've seen. Also, how much did you use to do this system?

Nice update on the GPU too, by the way!

Amazon.com Sleeving all of it took close to 150ft. It comes in 100ft lengths.

looks much better :D
