    Default First Build...

    This is my first build, not a super computer in any way since i'm not made of money, anyhow i've been lurking here for a few months, and since then i've built this computer and figured i'd show it off...

    Specs:
    AMD Athlon64 3500+
    1gb OCZ DDR400 (soon getting another stick so i can get some sweet dual channel action going on
    Gigabyte socket 939 AGP mobo
    ATI Radeon X700 pro (reason it's an AGP mobo)
    2 crappy harddrives
    Aspire Case
    and some miscellaneous fans...and one very overused biohazard grill

    heres some pics now


    my sweet custom fan/light controler, the only real mod i'd done to it so far, other than replacing the stock fans




    those wires don't seem to stand out as much when you're looking at it in person, and yes that is a stock heatsink




    really should clean that thing some time...

    Looks cool, keep it up! You have lots of room to experiment there.

    one of them is for the lights on the front and the other is for my 3 80mm fans. Required if you want to sleep in the same room as this thing
