Building, A computer. For the pevergreen. (56k warning)

edit: GRAH! Whats the deal with imageshack?



Hello there, this is showing the second time I've built a full desktop computer, which happens to be the one I'll using for work at the office.

The case:


Case with 650W Energy Efficient/Silent PSU:


Add the 1TB Green Western Digital HD:


Front to back with the CD/DVD drive:


Mmmmm...Tool-less drive bays:


Precious motherboard:


Installed motherboard:


CPU and Heatsink on:


Add the 9800GT:


Start plugging stuff in:


Side on view of apparently finished new PC:


I go to turn it on...and before I do, realise that adding the 3gb of RAM might be a good idea. So in that goes. Hours of labour done, satisfying push of the button to go.

Nothing.

*&#%.

Its all brand new picked up in the morning.

Its gotta be the power.

Spend 4 hours trying to figure out what the hell is wrong.

Turns out it was a single plug in the wrong thing.
Never was I so happy to see windows installing.
Success:


Completed!

Whats in it?:
Core i7 920
Gefore 9800GT
3gb Triple Channel Corsair RAM
1tb hard drive
650w PSU
24x CD/DVD burner
Two 22" Moniters, that we found out can go up and down and rotate. AND THEY ARE HUUGE! (I must have 17" at home, and I spend my time on a 15.4" laptop, everything else at work is a 14" laptop.

Thanks for stopping by!
