Default My first build
I suppose this could be called my first proper build, i bought a new case for my new computer to be and liked it so much i ended up transferring my current PC into it!!

so....

Jeantech Aqua gaming case

ECS SF2 661FX Motherboard

Intel P4 3.06 with Hyper-Threading

WD 120gb HD + Seagate 40gb

Powercolor X1650 Pro AGP graphics card

2gb PC3200 Ram

XP and Vista Ultimate

Plugged it all together, switched it on and it worked straight away! ( which is unusual for me)

On second look you may want to secure the 4-pin cpu power cable somewhere just in case it gets caught in the fan

yeah i noticed that too, im gonna open it all up tomorrow and sort out the cables properly, i was just so surprised that it worked

Need to get a 120mm fan for the rear too, only had 80mm ones in my other case, they went in the sides

I know the feeling...it seems to only work on the first try when it's not my PC I'm working on....

Looks good btw, not diggin' the lack of a Floppy drive but they're going out of style anyway, I just refuse to accept it
I'm like that....old technology+me=goodness...in fact, I just got a radio with TUBES in it!
