What the f...

What did you short out? :P

was swapping out the HDD for an 80GB, booted up, forgot to boot from the CD, this screen showed up.

I swapped out the drive once again for the org. and then everything was fine.

Put the 80GB in and booted up again, same problem.

Took both drives out and looked at the power draw and noticed something. The 20GB drive had a draw of .6A. The 80GB had a draw of 1A. Oddly enough, they where both from PS3's. So I just left the 20GB in and put the rest of my files on my Flash drive.
 
I didn't know this thread existed! :lol:

This build is a few years old ~2007 if I remember correctly. Still rocking it but currently in the process of upgrading to a new rig. Until that is done, here is my non-current pic of my current rig.

Here's mine.

Some of you would have seen it before from here.
My first and only full build to date, since the original build another 7850 has been added.
I'm already starting to get itchy fingers thinking about other upgrades. :lol:

As is though very happy with it, hardly ever misses a beat.

Cheers Shaun.
 
I decided to take a photo of my computer's insides, as you can see the cable management is horribly wrong, but I can live with it as long as the temps are fine to me (<50°C full load), even with the sidepanel on. :)

Maybe I should buy a modular PSU later on..

EDIT: And of course a better case, but then again I could upgrade everything.

thx, it was a lot of work until now.
I had to modify the whole case, to fit the water cooling, but it turned out quite ok ;)
 
Very nice Spike! I love the black/white contrast! I love these systems where it looks like cyborg guts are about to spill out! :D
 
What a great build you got there spike 👍

I wish (i haven't really searched yet) that you had a build thread documenting each step done to achieve that final result :lol:
 
thx guys :)
with the metal works where many things had to by custom build, powder coating the parts, soldering and sleeving the wire harness and finally the piping it was hell of a job, but worth every minute.
somewhere I have pictures of every step of the build, if I'm not to lazy later I'll start a thread ;)
 
Well I finally got the computer built with a ton of help from my friend. He did an amazing job with the cable management. Just have one picture for now, will upload some much higher quality ones in the afternoon after I finish installing drivers and running a burn test. (Aiming for a 4.5gHz OC on a 3570k).

Also if anyone wants more details go ahead and ask. (It's 5:30am here and I'm sort of cloudy :P)
 
Awesome PC there! Also I'd like to post the specs of my build now that I feel I got everything running stable.

Asus Maximus V Formula
EVGA GTX 670 4GB SC @ 1221mHz
i5 3570K @ 4.6 gHz
Crucial M4 128GB + WD Caviar Blue 500GB
OCZ Fata1ty 1000W PSU Gold Certified
Gskill Ripjaws 8GB 2133mHz
Cooler Master HAF X
Noctua NH-D14 w/ Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste
an additional 200mm red LED Cooler Master fan
Acer 23.6" 120hz 3D ready monitor
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
 
I want to show you my PC's idle temps here if you don't mind, I don't know the exact room temperature, but I guess it is <20 °C.

23 °C is about 73 °F and that is the core temp, so it must be pretty cool in this room. It's 4 °C outside and as far as I know these software are accurate.
 
Here's a system I put together for my wife. Some new parts, some old.

Sporting:
  • Cooler Master "Storm" case.
  • 965EE i7
  • Asus P6X58-E Workstation Motherboard
  • Corsair 1866 Dominator Ram 6GB
  • 1200w PC Power and Cooling PSU (I think this is the largest PSU on the planet, by the way.)
  • GTS 250 graphics card (she's not a gamer, but I would have rather put like a GTX570 in there or something more respectable, but Facebook won't know the difference.)
  • Intel 60gb SSD 330 series boot drive.
  • WD 500gb and 1000gb Storage drives.
  • Stock cooling all the way around. Including the cool blue LED Stock Intel fan for the CPU. Since I have been water cooling this chip since I got it, I had no idea the EE series had a glowing LED stock CPU fan. Kind of cool for Intel to provide it with their $1000 chip I guess....

That looks like a nicely built system Pako. I thought I'd let you know I updated my 30gig SSD to a 120 gig OCZ agility 3, and it all went smoothly, so thanks for the help :)

That's great! It will be nice not running out of hard drive space after a windows update. :lol:

I also updated my system drive recently. I went with a 240gb Intel 520 series SataIII SSD.

It should be plenty of space for my system, a few core programs and a few game installs.

:cheers:

Cool :) I was thinking of going with a 240gig, but they are too expensive for me...I seem to be spending alot of money on my PC...

But yeah it's nice seeing the C: drive without the red bar beneath it :P

PC's are like cars, you can never stop upgrading them. The circle is NEVER complete.

1,8 of gigahertzs and 768 rams.

-The case, well, there is one and it holds everything together. It had lost a few kickboxing maches against me and it shows.
-Celeron of some sorts CPU. Celeron stands for "fast"!! Have that in mind.
-The motherboard was made in 2001 by terrorists, apparently.
-Well, I know it has a PSU. Duh.
-80Gb HDD. I know it has only one inside but it shows as two on My Computer. I call Witchcraft.
-It has two CD/DVD roms!111!11 The black one doesn't work though...
-A Floppy drive. How many of your computers have this feature? Haha! Mine is superior!
-Advanced cooling system enhanced by the lack of one of the front panels. It must be very effective as it sounds like a tractor being shredded in a jet engine.
