    Default My Computer (n00by)

    Alright guys, First let me just tell you a little about myself.

    I'm 13 years old. No credit card, no banking account or anything. I made 60$ a week (not much), And I don't have all the resources in the world to get myself computer parts. But I do live off what I can get. Most of these things are by ThermalTake, witch I got from my local Radio Shack.

    For 13 years old, I do know quite abit about computers, I built this guy from ground up. The Case and Mobo is from Aopen, Great company.

    Specs -

    -Aopen Case
    -Aopen motherboard, Socket 478, Tube sound.
    -Pentuim 4 3.0 GHZ
    -2 Gig. Memory, 2x 512 MB. 1x 1gig dual channel.
    -40 Gig primary, 200 gig slave hardrives.
    -Radeon 9600 Pro
    -Audigy 2 ZS
    -LG DVD-CD RW combo
    -Feel Free to ask.


    -I deeply apoligize for the size >.<

    I'm new to PC building, but do people normally put fan grills on the inside of the case because I see you got 2 biohazard fan grills on your exhaust fans. And are those green things fan silencers? Wouldn't those go between the case and the fan? I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. But like I said, I am really new to this whole thing.

    I can offord a Dual Core Pc right now, I just don't have a resource to get one.

    -I bought 2 packs of fan silencers, and they came with 2 in them (witch I didn't know). So there are fan silencers between the case and the fan, and bwtween the grill and the fan.

    Nice work. Do some work on cable management and it will look great!

    P.S. when I was low on funds I used rubber bands instead of tiewraps.

    Oooo, almost amazed me, but I know a kid from my elementary school who built one in 4th grade. 9 or 10 years old. You came close though.

    I like the blue sleeves though. Tie some back and it will look super!
